McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Watch This Porsche 911 Set A New Altitude World Record

Racing driver Romain Dumas sets a new world altitude record in a Porsche 911 powered by eFuels on the Ojos del Salado volcano. On December 2nd, Romain Dumas, a celebrated three-time Le Mans champion, achieved a groundbreaking feat by setting a new world record for the highest altitude reached by a vehicle. Piloting a significantly modified Porsche 911 running on eFuels, Dumas ascended the west ridge of the Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile, marking a historic moment in automotive exploration. The challenging expedition was backed by an international team from various countries, including Chile, France, Germany, the United States, Canada, and Switzerland. The team, facing extreme conditions of thin air at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, supported Dumas in his remarkable journey to the peak. Shortly after his descent, Dumas expressed his awe at driving in such uncharted territory, pushing the 911 to heights no other earthbound vehicle had reached before. The successful climb was a proud achievement for the entire team, made possible by the collective effort and belief of various partners. The expedition showcased the prowess of two specially modified Porsche 911 models, named “Doris” and “Edith,” with Dumas achieving the record in “Edith.” These cars, based on the current 911 Carrera 4S, were equipped with portal axles for increased ground clearance, Aramid fiber underbody protection, and carbon fiber seats. Notably, “Edith” featured a steer-by-wire system from Schaeffler Group, enhancing precision on challenging terrain. This achievement sets a new benchmark in automotive exploration while demonstrating the potential of eFuels in extreme conditions. The eFuels used in the Porsche 911 were produced at the HIF pilot plant “Haru Oni” in Punta Arenas, a project initiated by Porsche. This expedition to Ojos del Salado, surpassing the previous record set in 2020 and going beyond the altitude of Mont Blanc, showcases Porsche's pioneering spirit in both technology and adventure.

John Oates Reunites with His Beloved Porsche 911 Carrera

Pop icon John Oates recovers his special-order Porsche 911, celebrating a reunion with his cherished Carrera. John Oates, a name synonymous with the legendary pop duo Hall & Oates, shares more than fame and music with the renowned automaker Porsche; both celebrate their 75th birthdays in 2023. Oates, known for classic hits like "Maneater" and "Out of Touch," has now reclaimed a piece of his history: his specially ordered 911 Carrera. Born the same year Porsche released their first sports car, the 356 "No. 1" Roadster, Oates developed an affinity for the brand from a young age. After achieving success in the music industry, he indulged in his passion for Porsche and acquired a red 911 Turbo, which would begin a lifelong love affair with the brand. His success with Hall & Oates, selling over 40 million albums, provided Oates the luxury of personalizing a brand-new 911 Carrera 3.2 in Pearl White with black Fuchs rims and Dove Grey leather, a testament to his and Porsche's shared dedication to excellence and customization. However, the tale took a turn when Oates, while downsizing his collection, reluctantly sold the Carrera. It wasn't long before regret set in, and the search for the lost 911 began. Despite his continued success as a solo artist, the Carrera remained a missing piece of his past. The story of Oates and his wife, Aimee, intertwines with Porsche in more ways than one. They both drive Porsche models; Oates owns a 1967 911 S and a 911 Turbo (964), while Aimee enjoys her Macan GTS, chosen for its vibrant Python Green color that reflects her playful spirit. Their shared love for the brand extends beyond personal use; they recently donated a 1980s Tiga SC84 Sports 2000 race car to the Amelia Island Concours, emphasizing the joy found in generosity. Fate would have it that Oates' special-order 911 Carrera would reappear on an auction site, recognized as his own. In a thrilling turn of events, he reacquired the car, which, to their delight, had been meticulously preserved by its subsequent owners. Now named Karma Carrera, the 911 not only represents the couple's journey together but is cherished as a future heirloom for their son. Oates finds solace and therapy in driving the Karma Carrera through the landscapes of Tennessee, embracing the pure experience of the drive, the car's engine providing the soundtrack to his reflective journeys. This return of the Karma Carrera is a celebration of history, passion, and the timeless allure of Porsche that resonates with enthusiasts worldwide. For John Oates, the Karma Carrera is not just a car but a symbol of his life's work, loves, and legacy, now complete with its return to its rightful home.

To celebrate the 911 Dakar and the 60th anniversary of the legendary sports car, Porsche brought two racing drivers: Mark Webber and Stéphane Ortelli to the outback of Australia to show off the Dakar’s off-road prowess in a fun and creative way. Webber picks up Ortelli in the 911 Dakar, with a mission to race against the clock in delivering a box. The off-road supercar’s various driving modes help seamlessly take it from desert driving to open roads, and then to the racetrack, where another Porsche 911 takes the limelight: the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. One of the most racing-focused 911s yet, the GT3 RS features incredibly advanced aerodynamics, ruthlessly lightweight construction, and an immense 517 horsepower to deliver the ultimate track experience. Once they finally reach their destination, they open the box to reveal that what was a 60th anniversary cake was destroyed by the intense drive there, which was still worth every minute. Showing off the dynamism and range of the Porsche 911, Porsche shows off that 60 years has resulted in something truly great. View All Porsche 911s For Sale
