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.

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.

2026 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric Gets a Sharper Edge, with up to 1,139HP

Long gone are the days when electrification meant slow and boring, leaning into efficiency over performance; manufacturers are using EV and hybrid powertrains to their advantage, lessening the lag gap and delivering instant power. Porsche first tapped into this with e-hybrid models and the all-electric Taycan, using each as a test bed before perfecting its craft and trickling it down to the rest of its flagship cars and SUVs. Today, the new 2026 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric joins the gas-powered and plug-in hybrid variants of the already popular, distinctly sporty Cayenne Coupe. The first thing that you’ll notice is the shape, inspired heavily by the Porsche 911’s iconic “flyline”, the Cayenne Coupe Electric now showcases a sloping roofline. It’s a tad lower than the standard Cayenne, tighter in its proportions, and just looks more aggressive. The rear spoiler tucks into the body seamlessly, and the flush rear glass makes the whole thing look wider and cleaner from the rear. The best way to describe it is that it just looks like a Porsche that happens to be an SUV. Inside, it’s familiar if you’ve spent time in Porsche’s newer EVs, which isn’t a bad thing. The layout is clean, driver-focused, and loaded with tech. What’s really impressive is how little headroom is compromised despite the coupe roof. Rear seating is still spacious, cargo space is usable, and there’s even a frunk for extra storage. Those looking to spice up their Cayenne Coupe Electric, Porsche even offers a Lightweight Sport Package with carbon, sportier materials, and trims that shave some weight without stripping out the interior.Performance where the Cayenne Coupe Electric starts to stand out from its other variants. Built on an 800-volt powerplant, it delivers fast-charging capability that actually makes daily EV use easier. Power ranges from 435 horsepower in the base model to a jaw-dropping 1,139 horsepower in the Turbo, with 0–60mph times dipping into supercar territory. It handles that performance with unadaptive air suspension, optional rear-axle steering, and torque vectoring, which all work together to make an SUV feel like a 911 when pushed. Pricing lands right where you’d expect for a Porsche electric SUV, starting just over $113,000 and climbing well into the $160K range for the Turbo. Orders are open now, with deliveries expected toward the end of summer 2026. Nothing’s being phased out either. Gas and hybrid Cayenne Coupe models aren’t going anywhere.

Porsche Reveals New Cayenne S Electric

The new Porsche Cayenne Electric is Porsche’s third all-electric model, coming after the Porsche Taycan and the Porsche Macan Electric, and it is also the second all-electric SUV to wear the Porsche crest. However, more than that, the Porsche Cayenne introduced a suite of groundbreaking EV technology and engineering, like being the most powerful production Porsche yet in its top spec, and introducing the capability to wirelessly charge in the near future. However, Porsche isn’t done yet, as the Cayenne Electric’s own range of trim levels is still expanding with the introduction of the new 2026 Porsche Cayenne S Electric. With all-electric all-wheel drive, the new Cayenne S Electric boasts an impressive 536 horsepower, with Porsche saying the new model balances performance with efficiency. With launch control, that power figure climbs to 657 horsepower. Compared to the standard Cayenne Electric, the new Cayenne S has 221 more horsepower, and can get from 0-60 in just 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Using the same kind of high-tech battery as the other Porsche Cayenne Electric models, the Cayenne S can also charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 16 minutes. <- Gallery -> Specific design elements set the Cayenne S apart, as well, including Volcano Grey fascia pieces, specific 20-inch wheels, and more. The vehicle’s handling benefits from optional Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Porsche Active Ride suspension, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus. With a starting MSRP of $126,300, not including delivery, processing, and handling of $2,350, the new Porsche Cayenne S Electric is available to order now as a new option for those who want a practical, powerful, luxurious, and stylish all-electric Porsche SUV. Deliveries are expected to begin at the end of the summer of 2026. View All Porsche Cayenne For Sale Image Source: Porsche

Porsche and Capcom Reveal Cayenne Turbo GT for Resident Evil Requiem

The latest Resident Evil Requiem launches today on PC and consoles, and places Leon Scott Kennedy, the Italian-American agent, at the center of a high-risk investigation in the game's latest franchise. His transport in this latest installation won’t just be another generic vehicle, but the latest Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, which ties into the storyline through a formal collaboration between Porsche AG and Capcom. Porsche also unveiled a one-of-a-kind blacked-out Cayenne Turbo GT show car featuring silver contrasting elements and Fuchs-style rims, in Los Angeles on February 19. Capcom and Porsche teams worked closely to translate in-game design cues into physical add-on components for the show vehicle. The reveal took place at the Porsche Experience Center, where invited guests also participated in track sessions and had access to racing simulators installed on site. The Turbo GT trim sits at the top of the Cayenne’s current gas-powered lineup. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, it produces 650 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque, can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, and continues to a speed of 186 miles per hour. <- Gallery -> “An iconic character like Leon and a vehicle as powerful as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT make for a perfect match. Partnering with a beloved gaming franchise like Resident Evil allows us to connect Porsche with global pop culture in a fresh and memorable way.” - Deniz Keskin, Director of Brand Management and Partnerships at Porsche AG. For those who've been closely following the game, Leon first appeared in Resident Evil 2 in 1998 as a rookie police officer reporting for his first day in Raccoon City. Over nearly three decades, his role has evolved into a federal agent navigating bioengineered threats across continents. Alongside protagonists such as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Claire Redfield, Leon has helped shape this iconic franchise that has sold more than 180 million units worldwide. The show car also features in a short film produced by Porsche and Capcom, starring Nick Apostolides, Leon’s voice and motion capture actor. It premiered on February 20 on the Resident Evil YouTube channel, linking performance engineering with a franchise that has defined its genre for thirty years.

Porsche Starts Production Of The Cayenne Electric

By Tyler Rampersaud – February 02, 2026

Porsche Starts Cayenne Electric Production

Porsche dramatically changed not only its own brand lineup, but the entire automotive world when it introduced the Cayenne nearly 25 years ago. Bringing forth a powerful, capable, and luxurious SUV from a luxury sports car manufacturer would be a relatively unprecedented move when Porsche first did it, but it would go on to become an industry standard, and a surefire route to financial success for many premium brands throughout the industry. Now, the Cayenne itself is turning a new leaf, as late last year, the Cayenne Electric was unveiled. In its most powerful form, the Cayenne Electric is Porsche’s most powerful roadgoing production model with well over 1,000 horsepower, and the new luxury SUV EV flagship also showcases incredible technology like wireless charging that will be introduced soon, as well as groundbreaking innovation in battery technology, performance, and driving range. Production has officially started for the new Cayenne Electric, Porsche has announced, and taking place in Bratislava, Slovakia, the Cayenne Electric is being built on a line that is shared by combustion-powered and hybrid vehicles. This flexible production means that Porsche is quickly able to adapt to changes in demand. In addition, Porsche is placing great focus on battery expertise, using modules made in-house at the Porsche Smart Battery Shop in Horná Streda, which is near the Bratislava plant. An impressive driving range of well over 350 miles, 800-volt fast charging technology, and world-first double sided cooling are just some of the incredible features seen in the battery of the new Cayenne Electric. While the Bratislava plant is a multi-brand facility for the Volkswagen Group, the plant has been thoroughly expanded for the production of the new Cayenne Electric.

A wristwatch from ICustom Timepieces with a black strap rests on a concrete surface in the foreground, while a green SUV from the Porsche Design Cayenne Models is parked in the background under a modern structure.

By Jordan Aquistapace – November 20, 2025

Porsche Design Adds Cayenne Models to Its Custom Timepiec...

The Cayenne receives recognition in the form of a luxury watch. Ever since the Porsche Cayenne debuted in 2002, surprising everyone by being both a proper luxury SUV and unmistakably a Porsche, it’s carried this quiet influence through the brand’s entire lineup. It became the gateway for a lot of new owners, the family Porsche that still handled like a sports car, and the model that helped shape its modern design DNA. So it feels fitting that as the first fully electric Cayenne arrives, Porsche Design is celebrating the SUV with something more personal, courtesy of the custom-built Timepieces program. What started as a very Porsche 911–centric idea, letting owners spec a mechanical watch the same way they spec their car, now opens its doors to Cayenne drivers who want their wristwear to mirror the same colors, materials, and design cues that make their SUV theirs. The allure of the program is in how naturally it carries over from the car world. You still get the choice between two movements: the Chronograph with the WERK 01.100 and the Globetimer with the WERK 04.110, both COSC-certified and built in Porsche’s Grenchen facility. But nothing about the experience feels overly technical. You start with a titanium case, either bead-blasted or black-coated, then decide if you want a tachymeter or minute-track bezel. From there, the configurator lets you dive as deep as you want. The dial’s color ring can match any Cayenne exterior finish, including the more vibrant Paint-to-Sample options, and the hands come in Porsche Design’s “Performance” or “Essence” styles. The straps might be where the Cayenne connection feels the strongest. They’re made from real Porsche vehicle leather and yarn, and you can match them to nearly any Cayenne interior color, a fun detail if you’re the type who notices stitching. If leather isn’t your thing, the titanium bracelet, matching the case finish, is ultra-light, and the quick-change system makes swapping between the two almost too easy. Both the Chronograph Cayenne and Globetimer Cayenne are now available in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan. Prices start at $6,250, but just like configuring the actual SUV, the final number depends on how deep you go. Shop Now Source: Porsche Design

The Most Powerful Production Porsche Ever: 2026 Cayenne E...

Porsche has been teasing the all-electric Cayenne for over two years. Following the Macan Electric and the Taycan, this step represents the biggest leap in the Cayenne lineage since the original model took the performance SUV segment mainstream more than twenty years ago. Development prototypes have logged thousands of miles across ice, desert, and mountain proving grounds, and the vehicle has made early public appearances at Goodwood and in controlled media features. Now the wait is over. The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric launches as part of a new diversified lineup that continues to offer gas and hybrid models well into the next decade. Porsche confirms a flexible drivetrain strategy across the Cayenne lineup, giving you real choice depending on use case. At launch, the all-electric Cayenne family begins with two models: the Cayenne Electric and the Cayenne Turbo Electric. Performance sits at the center of the story. The Turbo Electric produces 1,140 horsepower and up to 1,107 pound-feet of torque using Launch Control and Push to Pass. It accelerates from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 162 mph. In standard driving mode, it delivers 857 horsepower with an additional 176 horsepower available in ten-second bursts. It is the most powerful production Porsche ever built. Energy regeneration technology draws directly from Porsche’s Formula E program. Recuperation capability reaches up to 600 kW, and roughly 97 percent of routine braking can rely on electric regeneration rather than mechanical friction. That increases efficiency, consistency, and response on demanding roads or track environments. The 113 kWh battery supports up to 400 kW DC fast charging. Under optimal conditions, charging from 10 to 80 percent takes less than sixteen minutes, and ten minutes of charging can provide approximately 202 miles of range. The estimated WLTP range on the European cycle is up to 399 miles for the Cayenne Electric and 387 miles for the Turbo. The Caynne Electric also supports wireless charging. Design-wise, it is unmistakably a Cayenne. Key elements include a low hood profile, slim Matrix LED headlights, pronounced fenders, the signature Porsche flyline roof arc, frameless doors, and a full-width 3D rear light bar with illuminated Porsche lettering. Active aerodynamic components contribute to a 0.25 drag coefficient, positioning the Cayenne Electric among the most efficient SUVs aerodynamically. Inside, Porsche Driver Experience introduces the brand’s largest display environment: a curved OLED Flow Display at the center, a 14.25-inch instrument cluster, and an optional 14.9-inch passenger screen with native streaming and gaming. A head-up display with AR graphics is available. As for utility, Cargo space measures 27.5 to 56 cubic feet plus a 3.1 cubic foot frunk. Tow capacity reaches 7,700 pounds. An off-road package increases approach angle and ride height. This is our initial preview focused on core highlights. We will bring you more exclusive coverage of the new all-electric Cayenne from Icons of Porsche 2025, happening this weekend in Dubai. View All Porsche Cayennes For Sale Images: Porsche
