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.

Raw material from these legendary vehicles is punched into watch dials. With customization at the forefront of RAUH-Welt Begriff, build specialist Arika Nakai transforms everyday Porsche 911 examples into aggressively widened conversions. The process of cutting directly into fenders and installing a molded wide body kit takes on an art form in itself, a meticulous craft that shares similarities with modern-day watchmaking. The automotive-inspired watch specialist at REC Watches is proud to continue its partnership with RAUH-Welt Begriff by highlighting the 901 RWB Rotana.

Porsche Recounts The Challenges Of Turning Project "Color...

Two decades into its amazing life, the story of the Porsche Cayenne is already a legend. At a time when Porsche’s future was uncertain, the brand took a big risk and created something that was a great departure from what the brand was known for decades: an SUV. What resulted was the Porsche Cayenne, a vehicle that sent shockwaves through the entire automotive industry and rewrote the rulebook for what a sports car and a luxury car could be. However, being something so radically different than Porsche’s usual sports cars, the design journey of the Cayenne was an interesting one. The biggest challenge was in communicating that the Cayenne, despite being an SUV, was a Porsche. MUST READ: Porsche Centre Perth Hosts The World’s Largest Taycan Owners Meet In Australia Porsche set out to make the Cayenne an SUV that served its client flawlessly both on and off the road. It needed to fit five passengers and luggage, and have ground clearance fit for unpaved journeys. Along with a large V8 engine, mounted in the front of the car, the concept of the Cayenne was quite alien to Porsche. To make it look like a distinguished Porsche, one of the requirements was for the front end to strikingly resemble the 911. The headlights of the first Cayenne, which are higher than the hood and in the same shape as the 911 of the time, do this job. The doors, which were shared with the Volkswagen Touareg that was developed simultaneously with the Cayenne, were the biggest challenge for the team as they took up most of the side of the car, and had to look as though they were made for both models. The Touareg and the Cayenne sharing resources also presented challenges in the interior, where Porsche had to develop a new instrument cluster to accommodate the traditional five-tube design Porsche is known for, but overcoming all of these challenges was well worth the effort, as the Cayenne remains 20 years later one of the most important pieces of Porsche’s history.

Porsche Celebrates Collector Harry Metcalfe And His Belov...

The Farmer continues his daily duties, while running his popular 'Harry's Garage' YouTube channel. For all car enthusiasts, there is a specific model that holds a special place like the one that started the passion and fascination for anything automotive. While most agree that it would be a poster car like the Ferrari F40 or Lamborghini Countach, for British Farmer Harry Metcalfe, the Porsche 930 Turbo S stands at the pinnacle of his love of cars. Now recognized as a successful automotive YouTube star with more than 500,000 subscribers, Metcalfe began his life as an aspiring engineer born into a family of hardworking farmers. Before starting ‘Harry’s Garage’, the 63-year-old spent all his time running a 122-hectare farm in the English countryside while dedicating a small portion of his earnings to his car collection. MUST-READ: The Best Porsches You Can Buy Today Harry’s obsession for collecting cars came with the purchase of his first Porsche, a black 993 generation 911 Turbo used solely as a daily driver after co-funding Evomagazine in1998. The hobby of acquiring rare Porsche examples quickly became a second profession, as British motoring press caught wind of his growing garage that now included an early Porsche 930 and another 993 Turbo converted to a GT2 spec. After searching for the perfect example to compliment his fleet, Harry Metcalfe finally found a unique 1998 Porsche 911 Turbo in late 2021 courtesy of the carmaker’s Sonderwunsch personalization program. The Guardsred 930 Turbo S featured a Group-4-inspired front spoiler with an updated oil cooler, quad exhausts, and the seats and steering wheel from a 959. The car also left the factory with 17-inch RUF alloys and a 3.4-liter Motorsport engine making more than 400 horsepower. The newest addition to Harry Metcalfe’s collection now holds the title of his prized possession, even making an appearance on Harry’s Garage during a 1,250-mile road trip through southern Europe. Harry Metcalfe explains his love for the Porsche 930 Turbo S by stating “You can chase perfect handling or refinement, but sometimes the car you actually want to own is the one with the quirky nature.” View all of the current Porsche 911 Turbo S examples for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking on the link below.

2022 Azure Blue 911 GTS America 001 DSC06711

The New Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America Edition...

The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America edition continues one of Porsche’s most iconic American traditions. In 1952, Porsche introduced the 356 America Roadster, an open-top driver’s Porsche made exclusively for the North American market that captures the spirit of American driving. The tradition continued 30 years ago with the 964 America Roadster, and it continues yet again 70 years after it began with the 992 generation of the Porsche 911, with the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America edition. Staying true to the ethos of the America-named Porsche’s being driver’s cars, it exclusively comes available with rear-wheel drive and with a 7-speed manual transmission. MUST READ: PUMA x Porsche Launch The New Suede RS 2.7 Sneaker Collection, Limited to Only 500 Pairs With 473 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque coming from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-6 engine, along with Porsche Active Suspension Management, Sport Exhaust, and optionally available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and rear-axle steering make it a modern performance machine that honors classic driving tradition. The color, inspired by both the 1953 356 America Roadster, and the American flag itself, features a recreation of the 356 America Roadster’s Azure Blue, as well as white and Guards Red accents. The American-themed accents continue in the black leather interior, including “America” embossing on the armrest, and Guards Red seatbelts. Only 16 examples of the 356 America Roadster were made, making it one of the rarest 356 editions ever, and Porsche says that the new 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America edition will be one of the rarest 992 911s in kind. It’s expected to arrive at U.S. dealers in late 2022, starting at $184,920 for the 2023 model year. View All Porsche 911s For Sale Source: Porsche

20 Years Later, The Cayenne Is One Of The Most Important ...

What started as a way to save a brand in trouble became one of its most legendary successes. All the way back in 1989, Ferry Porsche predicted that an off-road Porsche would be a success, and that prediction quickly became something Porsche would depend on when the brand saw some of its worst financial trouble in the mid-90s. The Porsche Boxster, the mid-engined sports car that eventually gave way to the Cayman and now the entire 718 range, alleviated some of this trouble in 1996, but it quickly became clear that the Boxster wouldn’t get Porsche out of the woods alone. That’s when the idea came about to make an SUV for the North American market, which was quite receptive to SUVs at the time. MUST READ: The Best Porsche 911s You Can Buy Today Developed in conjunction with the Volkswagen Touareg, the Cayenne and Touareg would have separate chassis setups and engines on the same platform. This ensured that even though the platform would be shared with Volkswagen, the Porsche Cayenne had a unique character, and even though it was an SUV, it was very much a Porsche. 20 years ago in 2002, the Cayenne was brought onto the road, and the result was an explosive success and what remains to be one of Porsche’s highest-selling models to this day, a luxurious, sporty, and dynamic SUV that distilled Porsche’s driving character and put it into an entirely new form. From the Cayenne, the even sportier Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S blossomed with more power and performance, as well as Porsche’s first hybrid, the Cayenne S E-Hybrid in 2010, which used a full hybrid system rather than a power-split hybrid that offered pure electric driving range and not only increased efficiency but also performance. Today, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid improved on this foundation to be an incredibly formidable luxury performance SUV, able to get from 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. The Cayenne also served as the base for rallying Porsches, and also the defiantly sporty Cayenne GTS. The Cayenne immediately became a success, delivering 35,000 examples each year in the first 8 years rather than the expected 25,000, and in 2020, the millionth Cayenne rolled off the assembly line, with over 80,000 Cayennes being sold in 2021. After 20 years, the Cayenne is still one of the most important Porsche models ever; it didn’t just save the brand, it changed it for the better. View All Porsche Cayennes For Sale Source: Porsche
