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 The Porsche 911 GT3 Manthey Cut Over 4 Seconds Off ...

The Porsche 911 GT3 is formidable on the track, but Porsche found a way to make it even better. With its racing-derived swan-neck wing, the extensive use of carbon fiber, and some of the greatest racing-focused innovations Porsche has ever poured into the 911, the Porsche 911 GT3 is an incredibly impressive car on the track, able to do a lap of the Nordschleife circuit of the Nürburgring in less than 7 minutes. However, Porsche and Manthey saw that there was still some room for improvement even with a car as powerful and dynamic as the 911 GT3, so in conjunction, the Manthey Performance kit was created to improve the GT3’s aerodynamics and chassis, and with the kit, the GT3’s Nürburgring lap time improved by more than 4 seconds, shaving it down to 6:55:737. MUST READ: Porsche x RIMOWA x Ben Radcliffe Introduce A Life-Size Porsche 934 Steel Tube Sculpture Manthey and Porsche started by increasing the downforce of the car. With larger aero components at the front of the car, and a wider swan-neck wing, and new carbon fiber components throughout, efficiency and downforce are increased significantly. In addition, Manthey developed a special four-way coilover suspension that is adjustable for optimal track performance, and along with the GT3’s optional lightweight wheels and Manthey’s racing brake pads, the 911 GT3 was able to improve its Nürburgring time by a total of 4.19 seconds. Currently, the Manthey Performance Kit is available in Europe but will expand to other markets soon. View All 911 GT3s For Sale Source: Porsche

Porsche Celebrates 20-Years of The Cayenne, The 959 Succe...

Porsche's icon SUV stands right beside the 959. While the 911 platform defines itself as Porsche’s most iconic model in its historic fleet of performance cars, the adventurous Cayenne continues its legacy as a close second for the German automotive manufacturer. Porsche is proud to celebrate the Cayenne’s 20th Anniversary with a look back on its humble beginnings as the brand’s first production luxury SUV, which now features five generations that showcase its innovation and evolution. Finding its footing under design and performance aspects from the 959, the Porsche Cayenne now stands as the possible successor to the famous 1980s supercar. The idea behind developing the Cayenne began as Project ‘Colorado’, a joint partnership between Porsche and Volkswagen that would introduce an all-new Touareg off-roader. Porsche established its efforts by designing two in-house V8 engines, a 4.5-Liter Naturally Aspirated V8 and an upgraded version that generates more power from a twin-turbocharged system. MUST-READ: Which Porsche Macan Is Best? We Tested Them All For You The first-generation Porsche Cayenne was nicknamed the E1 and shares various similarities with the Dakar Rally 959, being an off-road platform that can withstand desert racing events as well as everyday driving. The most impressive area of the Cayenne fall under chassis technology, where the SUV showcases its true versatility and durability. The 2002 Porsche Cayenne came fit with state-of-the-art features like an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system, air suspension, lockable center differential, a gearbox with a genuinely low-range transfer mode, and anti-roll bars that could be hydraulically-decoupled in difficult terrain. Someone on-scene during the birth of the Cayenne was Porsche development driver Walter Röhrl, who expressed his astonishment by saying "I thought they weren't serious. I was sure it couldn't manage these gigantic obstacles. But it did. That really impressed me.” Now 20-years later, Röhrl visits Porsche to see and feel all the Cayenne and Panamera generations in front of him in the pit lane of the Leipzig Experience Centre. Needless to say after experiencing the comfort, technology, and performance of the new models, Walter Röhrl extends a huge congratulations to the achievement of the development team at Porsche.

Porsche Celebrates 50-Years of The Iconic 911 Carrera RS 2.7

The Porsche race car developed for the road. Although Porsche’s historic fleet features a long list of automotive icons, there are a few models that hold extreme significance for collectors, owners, and enthusiasts. Alongside examples like the 959, Carrera GT, and 918 Spyder, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 establishes itself as the fastest German production car of its day. Porsche is proud to celebrate 50-Years of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 by looking back on the 911 variant that helped change the way we look at racing and rallying. Making its debut at the Pairs Motor Show in 1972, the special edition 911 became the product of 15 dedicated Porsche engineers with a focus on pushing the boundaries of both design and performance. The production model was the first chassis to receive a front and rear spoiler to enhance power and aerodynamics, which led to it being the first 911 to be christened ‘Carrera’. Porsche Newsroom As an entry into the motorsport world, Porsche’s initial plan was to build 500-examples to homologate the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 for Group 4 Special GT cars. After its road approval and acceptance into customer racing events, the original 500-chassis were all sold within two months. A total of 1,580 examples were built, and once the 1,000th vehicle had been made, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was homologated for Group 3 as well as Group 4. Included in the production series of Porsche's new addition was the available M471 package, an option that added 200 lightweight ‘Sport’ versions to the mix. A further 55 examples of the racing version, 17 base vehicles, and 1,308 touring versions (M472) were built. Porsche Newsroom The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 features a 2.7-Liter Flat-Six fuel-injected engine that produces over 210-horsepower 188-ft lbs of torque to its rear wheels. Its traditional 5-speed transmission and 6,300 rpm top-line launch the 911 from 0-60mph in 5.8-seconds, making it the first production car to break the six-second mark set by the German trade journal ‘auto, motor und sport’. With a body made from thin sheet metal, thin windows, and plastic parts, Porsche was able to achieve a 152mph top speed because of its strategic weight reduction. Now viewed as one of the most highly sought-after Porsche examples, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 gets its claim to fame as the race car developed for the road. Porsche is celebrating 50-Years of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 with a special exhibition at the Porsche Museum on September 20th, 2022.

Porsche Clubs Are Celebrating Their 70th Anniversary With...

It’s obvious that Porsche’s history goes back a long time, but the love for Porsche runs nearly just as deep. Throughout 86 countries worldwide, nearly a quarter of a million people participate in 700 Porsche Clubs, and the history of Porsche Clubs goes back 70 years. The very first Porsche Club was established on May 26, 1952, two short years after the first Porsche was delivered in Germany. Originally called Westfälischer Porsche Club Hohensyburg, the club is now known as the Porsche Club Westfalen. Outside of Germany, the first international Porsche Club came about in 1953, and the world’s largest Porsche Club, the Porsche Club of America, was established in 1955. MUST READ: The 5 Porsche Concept Cars You Never Heard About As independent and mainly voluntary organizations, Porsche Clubs are forged purely out of a shared love for Porsche among people, and together, all kinds of different events, drives, shows, and other functions happen all over the world. As the first Porsche Club’s founding involved Ferry Porsche and racing director Fritz Huschke von Hanstein, the Porsche friendship that brings clubs together runs all the way to the Porsche family itself, with Dr. Wolfgang Porsche attending events to this day. Whether it’s a classic or modern Porsche, a sedan, sports car, SUV, or even an electric Porsche, 70 years passing has only made the worldwide love for the Porsche brand even stronger. To celebrate this anniversary, Porsche is bringing about a series of communications and events under an “Enduring Passion” banner, celebrating and supporting Porsche Clubs and their events all over the world.

The 5 Porsche Concept Cars You Never Heard About

While the 911 dominates Porsche's brand, there are some special projects that were never revealed. While Porsche prides itself on creating models that defy the laws of design and performance, the brand continues its innovation behind closed doors until the right time comes for an official unveiling. Throughout its years as an industry leader and fan favorite, Porsche has shown the automotive world some of the most influential models that help shape the sports car market into what it is today. Sadly, many Porsche concept vehicles have yet to see the light of day because of various reasons and explanations. Porsche is proud to highlight some of its never-before-seen concepts alongside the announcement of its new Vision GT concept. Porsche Mission R Porsche Racing is still the beating heart of Porsche. And with the Mission R concept, unveiled in 2021, the company presented its vision for customer racing in the future. It’s a fully electric Porsche racecar made from innovative materials, and with the sort of eye-popping levels of acceleration and power that you would expect from the people who brought you the award-winning Taycan all-electric sportscar. Porsche 984 Concept Porsche Between 1984 and 1987, the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, was busy working on a top-secret prototype called the Porsche 984. Conceived as a lightweight, aerodynamic roadster, it was designed to provide an affordable entry-point into the Porsche range. Porsche engineers wanted the 984 to major on fun, so the weight was kept low and the engine power modest. It also featured a folding hard-top roof, quite the innovation at that time. Unfortunately, the project was shelved because of the plummeting US dollar in 1987. Porsche Le Mans Living Legend Porsche The 550 Spyder is one the most iconic cars ever produced by Porsche, but the first sports car out of Zuffenhausen to be designed for racing was in fact a hard-topped version, the 550 Coupé. And it’s the car that provided the inspiration for the extraordinary looking Le Mans Living Legend. The Renndienst Porsche Styled on the VW racing service van (‘renn’ is a shortened form of the German word ‘rennen’, or racing, while ‘dienst’ means service) that was used by the factory racing team, this futuristic minivan has room for six people and features a modular travel cabin. Importantly, this being a Porsche, the Renndienst is more than just a practical bus. Combining sportiness with comfort, the driver sits in a central lounge chair, which gives the passengers a greater view of the road ahead and takes up less cabin space than a conventional row of seats. The 2018 Renndienst also features all-electric drive and autonomous capability and hints at an exciting future for the sports car brand. Porsche Panamericana Porsche The Panamericana is a fabled Mexican roadrace, deemed by many as the toughest of them all in its 1950s heyday, whose name would later famously act as inspiration for the naming of the Porsche Panamera Sports Saloon and Sport Turismo. The Porsche Panamericana, however, was a roadster concept study that would turn out to be one of the best birthday presents that Ferry Porsche ever received.
