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 GT3 Touring Is The Favorite Car Of The Ea...

The joy of driving a Porsche is fit for a royal. For many, giving up a career to attend to a family tragedy is a setback that can be quite disappointing, and while it absolutely was for William Herbert, who was an industrial designer when his father unfortunately passed away, that family tragedy left him with an entirely new set of responsibilities and traditions, as his family was of English nobles, hailing from the incredible, 14,000-acre Wilton House, a well-known 17th-century house in the UK which has been in the family for over 400 years. MUST READ: One of 407 Porsche 911 SC Weissach Editions Is Owned By a 17-Year-Old Entrepreneur William Herbert became The Right Honourable William Herbert, 18th Earl of Pembroke in 2004 at 26, and now he’s 44, and while he’s settled into his role at the seat of the ancestral home, his passion for cars has never died. The former riding school at the home now features an incredible car collection, and its newest member is a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. The Earl first experienced a friend’s 911 GT3, and he was blown away by its performance, and after driving one at Silverstone, he decided that he simply needed to get one of his own. The subdued look of the Touring version of the GT3, along with its everyday comfort and usability is what sold him, and after nearly a year of searching for the right one, he was able to reserve a car with the perfect spec. The unabashed performance and the gentlemanly elegance of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is what makes the Porsche 911 GT3 the perfect car for the Earl, who is even thinking about retrofitting rear seats to make it usable for the school run.

Discover The One-Off Porsche Cayenne Convertible Concept ...

Shortly after the launch of the first-generation model in December 2002, three additional variants came in for consideration. As Porsche continues its 20 year celebration of the iconic Cayenne, the German sports car manufacturer takes a deep dive into its archives of historic models. With an innovative mindset and an unlimited budget, its no surprise that the Porsche concept department was full of one-off examples that would never see the light of day. Presenting three alternative body shape to the first-generation Cayenne, Porsche is proud to showcase the one-of-one convertible variation. The Cayenne convertible came into consideration after stretching a coupé version by 20 centimeters, while also incorporating a row of rear seats and a retractable canvas roof. Today, there is still a single example of the open-top Cayenne kept in storage at the Porsche Museum. It is not a road-going prototype, however, but what is known as a Package Function Model (PFM). MUST-READ: Porsche Celebrates 20-Years of The Cayenne, The 959 Successor While the exterior underwent multiple design phases, Porsche engineers were unable to implement the appropriate body-stiffening measures necessary for a road-legal convertible. The sport styling of the Cayenne Convertible includes a rear end that mimics the lines of the 996 911, which became an area where designers were unable to agree on a final look. The disagreement of the rear design resulted in two different sections, boasting two completely different ideas and shapes. If the drop-top Cayenne had made it to the actual production line, Porsche was at the ready to install a now familiar soft-top mechanism that would quickly transform its appearance. Ultimately, the mechanism never made it past the computer simulation stage and the fabric top is now stored in the luggage compartment. After bringing back the idea of a Cayenne Coupé in 2019 with a successful production model, Porsche did not pursue the idea of a new convertible cars any further.

The New 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R Is Porsche's Latest Racing...

The Porsche 911 GT3 feels at home on the track, but this new 911 GT3 R can’t be anywhere else at all. Especially when it comes to the track-ready GT renditions of the latest 911 generation of the Porsche 911, innovations throughout the car have made it one of the most powerful, capable, and fast Porsche 911s yet. The naturally-aspirated 6-cylinder produces incredible amounts of power, and when that's combined with the car’s lightweight structure and dynamic setup, the handling and speed of the latest 911 GT3 are ready to race. Now, the new 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R has been revealed, and its purpose is to turn race-ready into race-only. It’s the newest customer racing car from Porsche, and it takes the innovation and performance of the incredible 992-generation 911 GT3 further than we imagined it could go. MUST READ: Best Porsche 911 GT3s (992) You Can Buy Today For starters, the engine in the new 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R is larger, going from 4.0 liters to 4.2, and with a bigger engine comes more power, and that amount is 565 horsepower, up from 502 in the roadgoing 911 GT3. Along with the increase in power, Porsche optimized the torque and power curve so that as much performance as possible is there exactly when you need it, whether it be between challenging corners or sprinting through a straight. The GT3 R features an underbody diffuser, and to accommodate it, the engine had to be tilted forward by 5 degrees. The gearbox is derived from the GT3 Cup race car, and shifts are done quickly through paddles. The suspension is easily configurable and reduces the wear on the rear tires, with 5 adjustments available for the KW shock absorbers. Derived from the 911 RSR, the underbody of the car allows for clean airflow under the car to the rear diffuser, and the wheelbase has been extended at the back to further preserve the life of the rear tires. Specialist brake company AP supplies the brakes, which are over 15 inches at the front and 14 inches at the back, and nearly the entire body is made of lightweight carbon fiber. The latest GT3’s signature swan-neck wing makes a reappearance in the GT3 R, this time in a much larger size for clean airflow and optimal downforce. The interior is modified to comply with new FIA side impact protection regulations, and the interior features the most granular details that optimize the car for racing, like a harness with a tongue that slides into the clasp even quicker, which makes driver-change pit stops quicker. While Porsche designed the new 2023 GT3 Cup to be a racing car that would be optimal for drivers of varying skill levels, it’s priced quite seriously at $567,210 and it’s only available in North America through Porsche Motorsport North America. That said, that serious price pays for some serious performance, and on the track, everything about the car you’re driving matters when it’s being pushed to its limits.

Porsche Increases Sales Revenue, Operating Profit, And Re...

When it comes to the road, track, and in business, count on Porsche to perform. Despite a challenging environment for the entire automotive industry, Porsche has managed to increase its sales revenue, operating profit, and return on sales in the first half of 2022. So far, the year has given the car industry a tough challenge with supply issues making it difficult for automakers to deliver cars. Even in the face of this, Porsche has managed to increase sales revenue by 8.5% to nearly $17 billion, and operating profit by an incredible 24.6% up to $2.7 billion. Although fewer cars were delivered in the first half of this year than the first half of last year, the return on sales increased to 19.4%. MUST READ: Porsche Delivers 5% Fewer Vehicles Worldwide In The First Half of 2022 Compared to 2021 Porsche credits this increase to a strong product mix and the benefits of current currency exchange rates. As the Porsche Cayenne celebrates its 20th anniversary, Porsche has been celebrating taking what was at the time a risky decision to invest in creating a luxury performance SUV, and to this day, that decision still benefits the brand as the Cayenne remains one of Porsche’s most popular models. Porsche hopes to continue this success with the goal of reaching a return on sales of 20% in the long term, and while challenges still loom over the industry, Porsche sees this success as a sign that it has what it takes to persevere.

Two very important letters are coming to shake up roads and racetracks worldwide. The 992 generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 is an unthinkably fast performance car, with Porsche managing to get an incredible 502 horsepower out of its naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter 6-cylinder engine, which rockets the lightweight and dynamic car to 60 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds, and up to a speed of up to 199 mph. Once we saw how capable the Porsche 911 GT3 is, we have been anticipating just how explosively powerful and fast the GT3 RS would be, and now, we’re going to find out. MUST READ: 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Price & Specs Porsche has announced that the 992 generation of the 911 GT3 RS will be unveiled on August 17 and that its development was inspired by the 911 RSR and 91 GT3 R GT race cars. It’s going to be even more track-focused than before, and Porsche says that it is incredibly happy with the 4.0-liter engine and its capabilities, which is why the improvements in the 911 GT3 RS will focus on the chassis and aerodynamic capabilities. The unveiling is set to take place in just three weeks, and while we don’t know much, we do know it’s going to be good. View All Porsche 911 GT3 RS For Sale Source: Porsche
