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.

Rimac Recaps The Second Annual Rimac Trailblazers Tour

Rimac is responsible for some of the greatest recent strides in the automotive industry, pioneering electric performance engineering and innovation with hypercars that have broken records and reshaped the landscape of high performance, and electric vehicle solutions that have helped other manufacturers in the automotive industry evolve their electrified vehicle lineups. However, for the ultra-exclusive circle of Rimac Automobili hypercar owners, the Rimac Trailblazers Tour takes owners on a journey with their vehicles to experience not only their compelling performance and driver-focused engineering, but also the incredible sights and culture surrounding the journey. For the second annual Rimac Trailblazers Tour, a group of ten Rimac Nevera hypercars and their owners embarked on a five-day journey through Croatia. Rimac Group founder and president Mate Rimac joined the group in his personal Rimac Nevera, and some of the other cars on the tour included the one-of-ten Nevera R Founder’s Edition and the Nevera Time Attack. The journey began in Trogir, with a visit to an olive museum on the Dalmatian Coast. Crossing a ferry to Hvar Island, a private boat excursion visited the surrounding islands. Central Dalmatia offered a tour of a local oyster farm in Mali Ston, and the ACI Marina in Dubrovnik served as the ultimate destination, with a dinner concluding the event at the Nautika Restaurant in Dubrovnik's iconic old town. <- Gallery -> British explorer Chris Brown arrived in Trogir having driven his Nevera all the way from North Yorkshire, while he seeks to become the first person to reach all of Earth’s continental poles of inaccessibility. On his way, he reached the national points of inaccessibility in Belgium and Luxembourg, the points within a country that are the furthest from any sea or border. About the tour, Mate Rimac said, “Moments like this, when I see our owner community coming together to enjoy cars that were at one point just a distant dream in my mind, are really special. The dream wasn’t just to build a hypercar, but to build one that would begin a new era of performance and would actually be driven and enjoyed by its owners. This second Trailblazers Tour shows that we’ve succeeded on both counts, with special credit going to Chris Brown for driving his Nevera Time Attack all the way over from the UK to begin the Tour. That’s exactly the kind of journey we had in mind for the Nevera.” Bringing a stunning group of ultra-exclusive Rimac Nevera hypercars together again for a tour through some of Croatia’s most beautiful sights, the second Rimac Trailblazers tour was a resounding success.

Watch Behind The Scenes Of The Epic Rimac x Red Bull Plane Stunt

By Tyler Rampersaud – April 16, 2026

Rimac Reveals New Behind-the-Scenes Plane Stunt Film

Recently, Red Bull Athlete Dario Costa completed an unthinkable stunt in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, piloting a Zivko Edge 540 airplane to land it on a container car of a moving train, and becoming the first pilot to ever do so. With no benchmark to guide the technique or practice of such a feat, help was needed to bring the ambition to life, and that’s where Rimac came in. The electric hypercar manufacturer was an unlikely hero, utilizing its Nevera R hypercar in a crucial role during the three-day test program that took place in Croatia’s Pula Airport. Serving as a moving reference platform, the limited-production, groundbreaking hypercar’s incredible acceleration ability and performance were paramount in bringing the stunt together. Rimac didn’t stop there, though, as its engineering expertise helped in engineering the seat of the aircraft, and the partnership is just the beginning of joined forces between Rimac and Costa. Two months after the stunt was completed in February, Rimac has now released an extended behind-the-scenes video, showing in detail how its hypercars were involved in the process. The film shows Costa with Rimac at its Zagreb, Croatia campus, and shows incredible moments like the Nevera R being driven in an ultra-precise straight line at 87 mph in reverse by Bugatti Rimac Chief Development Driver Miroslav Zrnčević, and a tour of the facility where both the Nevera R and the Bugatti Tourbillon, two singular examples of unprecedented performance, were present. As the partnership continues between Rimac and Dario Costa, innovation, ambition, and skill will lead to more amazing achievements.

How The Rimac Nevera Helped Dario Costa With An Unprecedented Aviation Stunt

By Tyler Rampersaud – February 18, 2026

How A Rimac Hypercar Was Crucial For An Aviation Feat

Recently in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey, Red Bull Athlete Dario Costa landed a plane on a moving train, and took off again, becoming the first ever pilot to do so. The stunt had no precedent, and there was virtually no margin for error to complete the seemingly impossible feat, but Rimac, the manufacturer of groundbreaking electric hypercars, played a crucial role in helping Costa prepare for the stunt. Specifically, the Rimac Nevera R and Nevera hypercars played a major role in the preparation. A three-day test program took place at Croatia’s Pula Airport, in which the Rimac Nevera R and Nevera, which boast unmatched acceleration ability thanks to immense electric power and lightweight construction, served as high-precision moving reference platforms. With them, Costa could rehearse landing practically blind on a moving target. Beyond its hypercar business, Rimac’s engineering expertise was lent to Costa in the form of crafting a custom seat from scratch to fit in the small cockpit of the aircraft. The seat is designed using ergonomics experience gained from creating the Nevera, as well as with stability, control feedback, and fatigue reduction in mind. <- Gallery -> Rimac’s expertise in CFD will be a part of Costa’s future projects, ensuring a continuing collaboration. With its engineering expertise and its groundbreaking hypercars being integral to the success of the unprecedented stunt, Rimac is strengthening its foothold in the world of performance, even beyond extreme EVs.

First Nevera R Founders Edition at THE ICE

There’s something undeniably cool about seeing a record-breaking hypercar dropped into a setting like this. The icy, postcard-perfect backdrop of St. Moritz is a little outside the norm for cars like these, but that’s part of the appeal—it works, it feels real, and it’s exactly the kind of unexpected stuff we love to see. That’s what continues to drive THE ICE St. Moritz International Concours of Elegance, welcoming prestigious marques from around the world to celebrate automotive excellence, enjoy driving, displaying, and watching some of the world’s most exciting cars on the frozen lake. This year, Rimac Automobili made its presence at the event even more special by delivering the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition to its owner, marking the public debut of this exclusive ten-car series. What separates the Nevera R Founder’s Edition is the experience wrapped into its ownership. Each Founder’s Club member begins with a deeply personal configuration session at the Rimac Campus in Zagreb, working directly with Mate Rimac, design director Frank Heyl, and the team using advanced V-RED visualization software. From there, ownership becomes a long-term conversation rather than a transaction, with priority access to product previews, performance showcases, record attempts, and even input into future Rimac research and development. "The I.C.E. St. Moritz represents everything we love about automotive culture: encouraging the owners of the rarest and most significant cars in the world to get out and use them to not only enjoy them but share them with the world. Delivering the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition here feels right, as a car that offers our customers more access into our world than ever before." Mate Rimac Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology This particular spec shows just how far Rimac’s bespoke personalization can go. Indigo Blue leather stretches across the dashboard and seats, contrasted by silver accents, heat-stamped details, and dark grey satin anodized switchgear. Matte carbon on the console keeps things minimal, while the stitched roof stripe mirrors the exterior’s silver and dark blue tones. The most personal touch sits low and quiet, as the silver-marker signatures of Mate Rimac and key team members stand out on the door sill. The Rimac Nevera R shifts the formula from Hyper GT to full, road-legal hypercar, delivering 2,107 horsepower through four motors managed by next-generation all-wheel torque vectoring. A 0–60 mph time of 1.66 seconds, a 268.2 mph top speed, and 24 verified world records in 2025 alone put it in its own space. More downforce, stickier Michelin Cup 2 tires, and a revised 108 kWh battery pack sharpen the experience without sacrificing usability. With just 40 Nevera R units planned, and ten reserved as Founder’s Editions, its debut on the ice at St. Moritz feels like a fitting introduction to Rimac’s most focused electric hypercar yet.

The Nevera R Founder’s Edition: Rimac’s 2,107HP Hypercar ...

Rimac’s Nevera R Founder’s Edition gives ten collectors a unique, hands-on hypercar experience with record-breaking EV performance. Rimac Automobili started in a small garage in Croatia, but today it’s making waves as one of the most interesting names in the automotive world. Mate Rimac and his team have a talent for taking ideas that seem impossible and turning them into record-breaking creations. The Nevera R is the latest example, pushing the limits of performance, tech, and design. And for ten collectors worldwide, the Founder’s Edition turns that car into a completely personal experience. The process starts at the Rimac Campus in Zagreb, where owners sit down with Mate, Design Director Frank Heyl, and the design team. Using advanced V-RED software, colors, materials, and finishes are adjusted in real time until everything feels right. This isn’t about picking from a standard palette, but rather a chance to configure a car with personal taste, featuring hand-stitched interiors, custom paintwork, and details inspired by other cars in the collection. Every Founder’s Edition Nevera R tells a story. The car itself makes a statement without needing to shout. Its two-tone exterior follows the natural lines of the body, giving the car a low, aggressive stance. A thin central stripe, just two millimeters at its narrowest point, carries Rimac’s cravat motif and subtle circuit-board graphics, combining tech and style in a subtle way. Inside, the doors feature embroidered milestones in Rimac’s history, and the asymmetrical seats mirror Mate’s own configuration. Owners also get insider access to the Rimac world: first looks at new products, invitations to record-setting runs, and even input on future R&D projects. Training is included too, with the Rimac team guiding owners through the car’s full potential. With 2,107 horsepower across four electric motors, the Nevera R rockets from 0–60 mph in 1.66 seconds and tops out at 268 mph. In 2025 alone, it claimed 24 verified world records, showing that Rimac isn’t just about looks—it’s about numbers that matter. For Mate Rimac, the Founder’s Edition is about recognizing the people who believed in his ideas from the beginning. “Concept_One, Nevera, and now Nevera R exist because early believers took a leap into the unknown,” he says. These ten cars aren’t just vehicles—they’re a way to be part of the Rimac story, from design and engineering to full-on electric hypercar thrills. For the small circle of owners, it’s about a hands-on, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Source: Rimac Automobili
