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.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Is Quickly Becoming a Million-Dollar Collector Car

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has always represented the upper echelon of the brand’s motorsport-inspired GT road cars, but in recent years, the 991-generation GT2 RS has grown to become one of the most collectible Porsche 911 models in the modern market. Porsche purists know the GT2 badge carries a special weight, being the car that combines the raw thrill of turbocharged power with rear-wheel-drive purity, often making it the most extreme variant in any generation of 911. For those browsing today’s inventory of Porsche 911 GT2 RS for sale, this car represents both a brutally fast driver’s car and a rare investment opportunity in a rising modern classic. 997 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Tracing the GT2 lineage reveals why the 991 RS holds such a special place in Porsche’s history. First introduced in the mid-1990s with the 993 GT2, Porsche built the car as a homologation special for GT racing. It was a stripped-down, rear-wheel-drive 911 Turbo with aggressive aerodynamics and insane performance, and its exclusivity only fueled its appeal. Later generations, including the 996 GT2 and the 997 GT2 RS, pushed this perspective further, each representing a more hardcore take on what a 911 could be. By the time Porsche engineers applied the formula to the 991 platform, they had perfected a balance between usability, performance, and luxury, creating what many argue is the most complete GT2 RS to date. 991 Porsche 911 GT2 RS From the outside, the 991 GT2 RS leaves no question about its track-focused intent. Lightweight carbon fiber panels, functional aero components, a massive rear wing, and magnesium wheels all play a role in its race-inspired design. Inside, the cabin blends Porsche’s race-bred materials with surprising comfort, with Alcantara, carbon fiber, and deep carbon bucket seats, but with infotainment and air conditioning intact. Buyers exploring collectible Porsche 911s will also find value in desirable options like the Weissach Package, which shaved additional weight and introduced exposed carbon details. Today’s Porsche 911 GT2 RS listings on duPont REGISTRY showcase a wide range of rare colors, which only adds to both desirability and long-term value. 991 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Where the GT2 RS truly cements its reputation is under the rear decklid. The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six delivers an impressive 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful 911 ever produced at the time of its launch. Paired with a PDK dual-clutch transmission, the GT2 RS sprints from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and carries on to a top speed of 211 mph. Beyond the numbers, though, it’s the raw turbo thrust, razor-sharp handling, and rear-wheel-drive drama that keep collectors and drivers captivated. 991 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Porsche capped production of the 991 GT2 RS at around 1,000 units worldwide, assuring exclusivity while still allowing a select group of owners to experience it. Auction results and private sales show that values remain strong and, in many cases, are appreciating, especially for low-mileage and highly optioned examples.

Porsche Cayenne Electric Achieves Unique Feat With World’s Largest Aircraft

By Tyler Rampersaud – July 23, 2026

Porsche Cayenne Electric Drives Under World’s Largest Aircraft

Roc is the world’s largest aircraft, with a wingspan of 385 feet and 340,500 pounds of thrust. Designed as a launch platform for spacecraft and hypersonic testing, Roc creates an intense storm of jet blast when it takes off and lands. However, there is one exception to that: a bubble that exists behind the landing gear and in front of the tail that is the proverbial eye of the storm during Roc’s takeoff and landing. Stratolaunch engineers determined that a powerful enough car could drive underneath the car as it took off and landed, as long as it remained precisely and consistently in the right position the whole time. A vehicle that was up to the task is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, the all-electric flagship reimagination of Porsche’s legendary SUV, and the most powerful production Porsche model yet. With 1,139 horsepower on tap and the ability to exceed 160 mph, it was the perfect candidate for the unique and challenging task. With a prototype in the Mojave, legendary former Porsche factory team driver and endurance racer Patrick Long took on the challenge. <- Gallery -> As the plane was taking off with the power of its six engines, Long put the impressive acceleration ability of the Cayenne Turbo Electric to the test. The vehicle’s Boost mode helped as Roc finally lifted off. However, it wasn’t over, as Long was able to replicate the same success by driving under Roc as it landed, completing two takeoffs and landings in total to complete the unique quest. With incredible power and impressive control of its power and cutting-edge technology, the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric is showcasing the pinnacle of electric vehicle innovation in an eye-catching way by meeting the world’s largest aircraft.

Isringhausen Imports Shows Off A Pair of Porsche Carrera GTs

While Porsche continues to perfect its recipe, whether it be the naturally aspirated performance of its GT series or the extreme off-road capabilities of the Cayenne, one car will forever remain in a class of its own: the Carrera GT. And before its much-deserved recognition as a seven-figure collector car, the simple reality is that Porsche’s V10 supercar was long overlooked by buyers, with many sitting unsold on showroom floors with $450,000 MSRPs. It's still a sore subject for those who passed on what seemed to be the opportunity of a lifetime. A key player in the Porsche ecosystem, delivering legendary cars like these from new, the team at Isringhausen Imports took to Instagram to show off a pair of Porsche Carrera GTs at its dealership in Springfield,IL. Leading the duo is a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, currently for sale on duPont REGISTRY. Finished in classic GT Silver Metallic and showing only 13,462 miles, it recently received a major service and had a recall completed. Inside, the interior has been preserved in pristine condition, which came optioned from the factory in black leather with brushed aluminum trim. Now ready for its next owner to enjoy on the open road, this Porsche Carrera GT is priced at $3,299,900. The other example carries a little more significance, a piece of Isringhausen’s personal collection. The second Porsche Carrera GT stands out with a rare Paint-to-Sample Grand Prix White finish, a color offered outside the model's five standard factory colors: GT Silver Metallic, Basalt Black Metallic, Seal Grey, Fayence Yellow, and Guards Red. And while Porsche left little room to option these cars from new, this build comes with a radio and A/C delete, one of just a handful of lightweight Carrera GTs that are roughly 70 lbs lighter than a standard car.The heart of the Porsche Carrera GT is what truly sets it in its own lane. Mounted behind the driver is a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V10 that traces its roots back to a Porsche motorsport program originally developed for endurance racing. It produces 603 horsepower, revs to 8,400 rpm, and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Add in rear-wheel drive, and the Carrera GT is summed up as one of the last truly analog supercars.

Embodying the spirit of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, the customized Sonderwunsch (”Special Wishes”) 911s first made their appearance at the red-carpet World Premiere. Today, the trio is making a real-world impact as an intended buyer has committed to donate $3 million, with $1 million designated for three non-profit organizations. “Our passion for unique Porsches and giving back runs as deep as our love of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of the Toy Story 5 characters. Seeing the teams at Porsche and Pixar come together with their creativity and resources to bless and inspire others is something that is easy to get behind, matching our resources with theirs to expand the potential impact. It truly hits on all cylinders for us, and we hope it inspires others to do the same.” - Anonymous Buyer The buyer, who would like to remain anonymous, is a passionate Porsche Collector and philanthropist, crediting his faith and family as his biggest motivators to support those in need. The seven-figure sale of the 911 GT3 RS inspired by Buzz Lightyear, the 911 Targa 4 GTS inspired by Jessie, and the 911 Carrera T inspired by Woody will benefit Big Brother Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and Starlight Children’s Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful to the buyer for this generous $3 million donation, which will directly support organizations doing critical work every day. It’s a powerful reminder of what can happen when passion and purpose come together.” - Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North AmericaThe fleet of Toy Story 5 Porsche 911s is currently on a tour across the United States, appearing at events hosted by the non-profit partners connected to the buyer’s generous donation. After the trek across the country, the cars are expected to be formally delivered to their new owner during Monterey Car Week in August. All Porsche Inventory Source: Porsche Newsroom
