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 935 in Action at RennSport Reunion VI

Back in September Porsche announced the resurrection of the 935 race car. The 935 was a brutal race car that won LeMans in 1979. It had the shape and looks of a 911 Turbo, but everything underneath was built to dominate the track. Named Moby Dick for the giant white spoiler, they were raced by factory and privateer teams around the world. Foreign Cars That Are Illegal In The US! When Porsche announced its return, we had no idea just how gorgeous it would be in motion. In the latest upload from 9:11 Magazine, the engineers describe the finer points of the design. Other clips include Walter Röhrl's return to rally racing, and an epic rematch between a classic 911 and a drag bike.

Next-Gen Porsche 911's Brutal Testing

Outlined in out 8th Amendment is the prevention of "Cruel & Unusual" punishment. Germany's modern constitution follows the same lines, but their punishment says nothing about the Porsche 911, their most famous car. Engineers at Stuttgart have devious methods to prove the reliable design of the Porsche 911. In a press release over the weekend, they outlined several situations around the world. Starting at the top (of the world) a fleet of cars is continuosly cold-started at 31* below 0 (Farenheit). Not only does this prove the oil pump can force feed the bearings well below freezing. Next up is a run from Death Valley to Mt Whitney, the highest and lowest spots in the Lower 48. This run gains 9,900 lbs in elevation, ensuring the turbos can still provide boost up in the thin air. Mount Evans is 9,000 feet above Denver, with paved roads over 14,200 feet. Visible from the great plains, you can see the upcoming 992 Series test mules carving the corners of the summit road. Hot weather testing also takes place here in Florida, with camouflaged versions pushing their A/C to the max in stop & go gridlock. Relentless testing also happens in Germany, running the Eifel Mountains to test transmissions and brakes beyond normal driving conditions. Testing like this is nothing new for Porsche, even back to the 993 series. So click the link below for great incentives from our dealers and stay with us for all your Porsche news.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR Shatters 'Ring Record Time

If you are reading this, you probably know that Porsches are fast. In fact, the 911 GT2 RS set a new record time in September 2017. Their lap time of 6:47.25 was broken by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ back in July. The latest Aventador lapped the historic track in 6:44.97. But it is time for a new leader. Manthey-Racing is an engineering and development company based at the Nürburgring. Their know the track better than anyone else, which is why Porsche owns 51% of the company. In a press release this morning, Porsche announced a new lap time, and behind the wheel was Lars Kern. He is the same development engineer who set the record in 2017, and in the evening hours of November 1st, he set a new world record. The time to beat is now at 6:40.3! To put that in perspective, it is one minute faster than the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Murcielago, both of which are other brands owned by Volkswagen Group. Somewhere in his Austrian estate, Dr. Wolfgang Porsche is smiling. His father's creation still reigns supreme, and the GT2 RS is undoubtedly the fastest production car in the world.

Porsche 911 GT3 Price, Specs, Photos & Review

Porsche GT3 Review The GT3 is the road-going sibling of the Porsche 911 GT1. The current generation, the 911 series, has been in production since 2013. For the joy of driving purists — and of collectors — the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 specs include both manual gearbox and dual-clutch options. Though the Porsche GT3 price (MSRP) is $143,600, adding options such as carbon ceramic brakes, heated seats and more can skyrocket the cost of a new car. No Porsche GT3 review would be complete without mentioning that the driving experience is equally thrilling on both racetrack and regular roads. Late 996 by Milestoned on Flickr Porsche GT3 Generations The first version of the Porsche 911 GT3 specs debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999. Since then, Porsche has released several other generations. Allow us to break it down by years so you can have a better idea of each car's attributes. 996 GT3 (1999–2005) The 996 series has the narrow body of the Porsche 996 Carrera, but the powerful, naturally aspirated engine derived from the 911 GT1. And like its race sibling, the 996 GT3 is stripped of unnecessary weight. The 996 series has a six-speed manual gearbox and front-mounted radiators. Slim air vents for the front bumper and a massive rear wing are some of the standout features of this GT3 generation. Porsche 996 Series GT3 Cup Car 997 GT3 (2006–2011) The Porsche 997 GT3 has updated suspension and improved aerodynamics, hence increased stability, compared to the previous generation. It is equipped with Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM), an automated system that improves stability and safety on uneven road surfaces. The result is increased agility on both road and racetrack. 2015 Porsche 991.1 Series 911 GT3 991.1 GT3 (2013-2015) The 5th generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 specs are those of the 991 generation. It launched in 2013 with new 3.8-liter engine, transmission, and sporty exhaust system. Its new wider body is based on the Porsche Carrera 2. A standout feature of the 2013 911 generation is the dual-clutch gearbox, a departure from the previous generations. It offers 475 hp at a screaming 9,000 rpm. After a few engine failures, Porsche redesigned the valvetrain and installed the new engines in all 785 customer cars. 2018 Porsche 991.2 Series 911 GT3 991.2 GT3 (2018-2020) In 2018, the GT3 returned to its roots, as Porsche reintroduced the manual gearbox option. The 991.2 GT3 might look similar, but the suspension and chassis is all new. Taking a page from the past, the 4.0-liter engine returned, rated at 500 horsepower. Combined with the 6-speed manual, it is the perfect Porsche. But those who don't need all the wild aerodynamic bits now have another choice. The 2019 Porsche GT3 Touring uses a widebody to hide the massive wheels, but it is very understated. It looks like a Carrera until it blows your doors off. Also offered with a stick, the GT3 Touring is a 911R for a new generation. Porsche GT3 Engine The race-derived Porsche 911 GT3 specs include a flat six cylinder, naturally aspirated engine. Modern emissions laws have required the base model Carrera and Targa models to adopt turbos. The GT3 and its RS derivative are your only option for a non-turbo 911. Starting back in 1999, the 3.6-liter made 355 horsepower. In 2006, the 997.1 GT3 arrived with 409 horsepower. By 2009, advancements in engine technology allowed the 997.2 to grow from 3.6 to 3.8-liters. Power also jumped accordingly, with 430 hp on tap. Engines for the 991 series are covered above. It should be noted that the 1999-2004 era are the last to use the 356 mounting face and transmission. So it could be easy to swap this setup into a classic Porsche or VW without much work. 2007 Porsche 997.1 Series 911 GT3 Porsche GT3 Transmission If you want to choose between the Porsche PDK or Porsche GT3 manual transmission, go for models younger than 2017. All Porsche 911 GT3 specs between 1999 and 2011 have a manual transmission, and the 991.1 GT3 (2013–2017) is Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) only. Porsche reintroduced the six-speed manual gearbox as an option for the 991.2 GT3. The dual-clutch gearbox offers quicker acceleration, but the manual one is 37 pounds lighter and makes for a better driving experience. Both versions are lighter than the Turbo and 4S models because GT cars send power to the rear wheels only. 2018 Porsche 991.2 Series 911 GT3 Porsche GT3 Brakes The standard steel braking system of the Porsche GT3 comprises six-piston aluminum brake calipers on the front and four-piston equivalents on the rear axle. Choosing the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) will add over $9,000 to the price of a new car. The ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 16.15 inches at the front and 15.35 inches at the rear. The composite ceramic brakes shorten braking distances in any track or road condition. They also weigh about half as much as the steel braking system, allowing for increased agility and handling. Porsche GT3 Design The GT3's overall design doesn't differ much from that of the iconic 1964 Porsche 911. The Porsche 911 GT3 specs include 20-inch wheels with a central locking nut for fast wheel changes. Made of carbon, the rear spoiler is larger and 0.8 inch taller than that of previous versions, so it generates more downforce. The rear-axle steering, which comes standard, ensures better maneuverability at low speeds and better stability in high-speed corners. The air vents and air blades on each side improve cooling. The front end is made of a lightweight yet robust high-tech material for more downforce at the front axle. 2009 Porsche GT3 Cup Car Porsche GT3 Interior The interior of the Porsche GT3 focuses on performance. There are no unnecessary controls on the central console, to emphasize distraction-free driving. The gear selector sits next to the steering wheel, and the gearshift paddles are placed on the steering wheel. Optional full bucket seats and sports bucket seats are available. Yet, the Sports Seats Plus that are standard on the 997 Porsche 911 GT3 specs are great as daily driver seats — they're comfortable and offer good lateral support. Porsche 997 Series 911 GT3 Interior Porsche GT3 Standout Features This race-bred Porsche is a pure thrill to drive on racetracks, therefore, it also offers a fun driving experience on regular roads, too. The driving position is spot on, and the suspension and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires do a great job at softening blows from uneven roads. Thanks to a minimalist interior and the use of high-tech materials, the 991 Porsche 911 GT3 specs a weight of about 3,153 lbs. The standout features of the GT3 include a race-inspired engine that puts out 500 hp. The 2018 Porsche GT3 0-60 in 3.1 seconds gives you thrills, and the car reaches a top speed of 199 mph and a redline of 9,000 rpm. 2014 Porsche 991.1 Series 911 GT3 With Martini Livery The newer generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 specs include both automatic and manual transmission options. This is for the joy of drivers who prefer the challenge and excitement that only a manual gearbox can provide. The suspension is adjustable for racing use, as are the toe angle, anti-roll bars, and camber. Finally, the new 991.2 chassis improve stability and steering precision. In short, whether for track or road duty, the Porsche GT3 is the quintessential sports car. Browse Porsche 911 GT3 For Sale

Report: All-Electric Porsche Taycan Gets Estimated Price

The new Porsche Taycan is coming in as the brand's first all-electric model in the modern era. You see, Ferdinand Porsche's very first design was the 1898 Egger-Lohner electric car, which would technically make it Porsche's first electric car and their very first car in general. The Taycan, however, is the first all-electric car under the Porsche name.Alright, enough of history. Let's talk money. Many have been wondering where the Taycan would sit in Porsche's model lineup in regards to pricing. Automotive News estimates the Taycan will have a likely starting price above $92,500. However, Robert Meier, the model line director for the Taycan, says it will have an expected price between the Cayenne and Panamera. That would put it between $65,700 and $85,000 if you use the base models in each range.This kind of pricing would, of course, be for a base model Taycan. Porsche's CFO, Lutz Meschke, has told reporters that he wants "higher-performance versions" of the Taycan that could be priced much higher, according to Automotive News.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS Generation Comparison

The new 2019 Porche 911 GT3 RS is considered a part of the 991.2 generation, while the previous model year example is within the 991.1 generation. This may confuse to some, but to Porsche aficionados, it's just part of how Porsche rolls out changes. To better explain what the differences are between these two models, Porsche West Palm Beach put together a video that compares the two different 911 GT3 RS generations.The many changes made to the 991.2 generation of the 911 GT3 RS have undoubtedly led to increased performance. For example, Porsche lapped the updated model around Nurburgring in order to show off its newfound agility. This resulted in a lap time that was faster than the 918 Spyder hypercar and any 911 GT3 RS that came before it. Not bad.New Porsche 911 GT3 RS TECHART Carbon Sport PackAs for the specifics of the car, its powered by a naturally aspirated engine that produces 520 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. It also has a curb weight of just 3,153 and a power-to-weight ratio of 6.1 lb/hp. Its 0 to 60 mph time is just 3 seconds and the car has a top speed of 193 mph. Basically, this new generation of the 911 GT3 RS is a Gern improvement on a model that was already superior to so many other cars.Porsche West Palm Beach Inventory Porsche 911 GT3 RS Specs
