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.

Rolls-Royce Celebrates America's 250th Birthday With Three Bespoke Commissions

For over a century, the United States has played a pivotal role in the history of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It remains the only country outside of England to have ever manufactured Rolls-Royce cars, with its Springfield, Massachusetts, factory producing for American buyers in the early twentieth century. Today, those Springfield-built Rolls-Royce examples have carved out a niche in the collector car world, representing a defining moment in the marque’s history. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrated the 250th anniversary of the United States by unveiling three bespoke builds in the nation’s capital as part of an exclusive event.Led by Sir Christian Turner KCMG, British Ambassador to the United States, at his residence in Washington, D.C., the guest list included leaders from government, diplomacy, and the automotive industry. The real stars of the evening proved to be three exclusively handcrafted commissions hailing from the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England, drawing inspiration from the colors of the American flag. The three flagship models chosen to represent Rolls-Royce for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity are the Cullinan, Phantom, and Ghost. The collection includes a Bohemian Red Cullinan, symbolizing the strength, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit that have shaped the country for generations; an English White Phantom, inspired by America's founding ideals, timeless and enduring pursuit of excellence; and an Iguazu Blue Ghost, embodying optimism and the limitless horizons that continue to define the American spirit. Instead of applying patriotic colors, Rolls-Royce took a more thoughtful approach, using personalization to tell the story of the United States through three iconic. All in all, the celebration honors more than the three one-off examples; it solidifies the connection between America and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. North America remains the marque's largest global market, with more bespoke commissions delivered to American clients than any other region worldwide.

Rolls-Royce Just Built Its Most Artistic Cullinan Yet

Over the years, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has transformed from an elegant marque with centuries of craftsmanship into a creative powerhouse, giving clients the ability to truly personalize their cars and SUVs, almost like a blank canvas. In addition to offering bespoke paint shades and interior comforts, the brand has also enlisted professional artists to reimagine Rolls-Royce models into rolling works of art. Curated by its Private Offices in Seoul, New York, and Goodwood, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is pleased to debut its latest creative collaboration with French painter and graffiti artist Cyril Kongo, featuring a bespoke, hand-painted Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge as part of a series of five exclusive examples. Instead of stopping at off-catalog paint colors or upgraded trim packages, Rolls-Royce gave Kongo the freedom to completely restyle the interiors by hand. His graffiti-inspired artwork spans across the dashboard, center console, rear seating area, picnic tables, and even the renowned starlight headliner. Every car follows the same overall design theme, but each one gets its own artwork and painted details, making all five completely unique collector cars.The interiors are where the personalities of these Cullinans really shine. Rolls-Royce divided the interiors into various color zones using bright shades like Phoenix Red, Mandarin, Forge Yellow, and Turchese, for a much louder, more vibrant feel than most people typically think of Rolls-Royce. The driver’s seat, passenger seat, and rear seating areas all carry their own contrasting color schemes, while matching stitching, piping, carpets, and embroidered “RR” logos tie the artistic vision together.Overhead, the hand-painted starlight headliner is most definitely the wildest detail of the entire build. The ceiling showcases more than 1,300 fiber-optic lights with Kongo’s artwork, showing off abstract planets, symbols, and references to quantum physics hidden throughout the piece. Rolls-Royce prepped more than 70 paint colors to use during production, with every detail hand-painted directly onto the interior surfaces. Even the placement of the illuminated “stars” was individually mapped out as part of the process.Finished in a dark Blue Crystal over Black, each Cullinan features a new, gradient coachline that shifts colors along the bodyline from front to rear, a first-ever for Rolls-Royce. Matching brake calipers, illuminated tread plates, embroidered details, and hidden Kongo Easter eggs throughout the SUV make this collaboration one of the most creative of all time. These five Cullinans show just how far Rolls-Royce is willing to go to create something nobody else on the road will ever have. Source: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

Setting Rolls-Royce Speed Records

Undisclosed location, Nev. – On a bright November morning, two hours north of Las Vegas in the central Nevada desert – not far from Area 51 – a fleet of six Rolls-Royces lines up across a dry lakebed. It’s early the morning after the Wynn Concours, as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ dramatic World Series win in an overtime Game 7 finish, but luckily, I restrained my celebrations, knowing that two Ghosts, three Cullinans, and a Spectre awaited me for top-speed runs on the flat expanse of tan sand, where speed limits did not apply. The lakebed surface actually ripples more than expected, with silty and smooth pads split into almost hexagonal patterns of expansion cracks from water pooling, then drying, then pooling, then drying… All the way to the horizon. And then, as if some sort of mirage under the blistering sun, the Rolls-Royces appear, every Spirit of Ecstacy hood ornament gleaming. Rather than wearing racing or off-road tires, though, each arrived with regular street-legal rubber mounted on the 22 and 23-inch wheels. So naturally, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas CEO Jon Colbeth gave a quick safety briefing to the handful of adventurous drivers in attendance: The Ghosts and Spectres would be allowed to do hard launches on about a quarter-mile delineated by cones, but afterward the Cullinans thanks to slightly higher tire sidewalls eventually might hit their electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour – going off-road needn’t mean slow speeds! Colbeth advised warming up to the handling, applying brakes with even pressure, and adjusting to the radical environment. But sure, go ahead and do some donuts by turning off traction control. Which, it turns out, isn’t particularly easy in a Rolls and takes diving deep into menu options via the central touchscreen. Sure wish I knew how to do this while trying to ice drift a Cullinan earlier this year! Clearly, Rolls-Royce knows how to have fun. But the practicalities of running half- million dollar cruisers to top speed with street tires fully inflated to the advised 42 psi kept cropping up in the back of my head. I started out in a Ghost, with traction control fully activated, not really sure what to expect. I’ve driven at high speed off-road, in lifted trucks and side-by-sides, and even prepped rally cars, but all featured heavily upgraded suspension and legit knobby tires. No supercar launch control nor anti-lag in this stately sedan, either! Alright then, deep breath. I put my left foot on the brake, right foot nudging into the gas pedal to help the Ghost squat a bit. Done the old-fashioned way, traction control kicked in immediately, dialing back power as the tires scrabbled for grip over the first 25 yards or so. Those Goodyears simply lacked the traction necessary to blast off in such a slippery environment. The SUV launched slightly slower, tail end dipping more due to a more upright posture. Between about 40 and 80 miles an hour on the sand, the floatiness bordered on a legitimate speedboating sensation. But passing the cones at full throttle, pushing up to about 125 miles per hour on this first run, the Cullinan settled down. Now I felt wind effects battling the complete lack of aerodynamic efficiency from this beefy SUV hustling along the wide-open lakebed. Past the pinch of the shoreline, the terrain opened up a bit. Time to keep upping the numbers, then. I braked harder, felt the nose dive, and kicked into a donut or two on the way back to the start line. But even with traction control off, the weight of a twin-turbo V12 over the front axles definitely contributed to more understeering, and I wanted to avoid popping a tire off the bead and ruining my shot at a top speed run. Still, I built up steadily, hitting 135 then 145, the acceleration starting to peter off despite unleashing all 600 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. I hit the electronically limited limit of 155 mph anyway, after an interminable crawl that probably took 30 seconds or more to get from 135 to 155 miles per hour. By my mental math, that probably translated to about another mile of imaginary runway – and this lake must end somewhere… Even as a southwest breeze pushed the Cullinan further and further to the left. I lifted at 155 mph and coasted for a bit, beginning to use the brakes. Slowing down let the pungent smell of toasting rubber creep in from the tires, so I took a quick break to let everything cool down before going again. What if the wind helps? With a little more confidence in the distance required, for my next run, I determined to hold full throttle up to the limit. This time, the chip kicked in and cut power, but I still crested to 156. The next run, I spied 157, then 158. Trying, trying, but despite keeping the pedal matted, fuel cutoff brought me back down to 155 again. And now the end of the lakebed approached, slightly uphill, the surface getting rougher with less silt and cushion. Back at base camp, the rest of the crew threw out their top speeds. Another duPont Registry contributor, Basem Wasef, claimed 157 mph – in a Ghost, no less. Better aero but also even less ideal tires. Everybody else typically dialed back around 135 mph or so. Then I climbed back into my Cullinan for the most comfortable six-hour drive possible back to Los Angeles. <- Gallery -> Not the most typical road trip day of my life, to say the least! And a few days later, Rolls-Royce reached out with some news: I might now hold the United States land speed record for a production Rolly Polly! That’s hard to verify, but three ticks past the ECU’s official restriction, thanks to wind and slick conditions and traction control, sounds pretty reasonable to claim. Of course, from a historical perspective, Rolls-Royce in 2021 launched a limited run of 25 Black Badge Dawn and Wraith models dubbed the Landspeed Collection to honor Captain George Eyston, who set a Bonneville Salt Flats speed of 357.497 mph in 1938 driving the “Thunderbolt” car, an eight-wheeler powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce V12 aero engines. I might have hit just under half that pace, but I still begged for some sort of commemorative certification or official plaque. Instead, I just get bragging rights and the gratification of memory. And awe, at the fact that Rolls-Royce today feels confident enough in the cars to allow this kind of entirely unnecessary hooligan behavior on a lakebed, even if, just like Area 51, the exact location must remain confidential.

Rolls-Royce’s New Cullinan “Yachting” Collection Has Four One-Offs

By Tyler Rampersaud – March 26, 2026

Rolls-Royce Unveils New Cullinan “Yachting” Collection

Rolls-Royce is not only known for opulent ultra-luxury vehicles, but also for the bespoke design and artisan craftsmanship behind them. Some of the most exciting vehicles from Rolls-Royce are those that are designed with a story or a cultural reference in mind, and painstakingly crafted to achieve their vision. The latest is a new collection that consists of four Rolls-Royce Cullinans, called the Cullinan “Yachting,” and each of the four Private Commissions is inspired by the beauty of yachts and the spirit of maritime adventure. Setting each apart, however, is the inspiration of each of the four cardinal directions. North, South, East, and West each serve as inspirations for one of the cars. All of them have teak detailing, hand-painted fascias with a nautical theme, and Starlight Headliners with a “Mediterranean Wind” pattern. The hand-painted finish on the picnic tables and fascias of each car evokes the wake that forms behind a tender that’s headed for an anchored yacht. Each finish is painted so that the wake matches the direction of the car’s inspiration: North, South, East, and West. Two months of development were required for the composition, and details like a Piano Milori Sparkle finish and Open-Pore Teak wood complement it, along with a compass motif on the rear waterfall. The interiors feature Arctic White and Navy Blue leathers, with Navy contrast stitching, piping, and embroidery, along with a bespoke pattern that is hand-stitched in the seat centers. For the North commission, the exterior finish is Crystal over Light Blue, while South has Crystal over Arabian Blue IV, East has Dark Silk Teal, and West has Sapphire Gunmetal. Each color finish echoes the oceans of their respective parts of the world. Beyond the simple association of both relating to ultra-luxury opulence, Rolls-Royce and yachting have been connected for over a century, as many models have taken design inspiration from the sailing world, and Charles Rolls’ family owned a yacht named the Santa Maria, which cruised throughout Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s. With this new collection, Rolls-Royce is showcasing the opulence of its Cullinan with a maritime twist. View All Rolls-Royce Cullinan For Sale <- Gallery -> Image Source: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

The exterior of the Cullinan and Ghost feature Rolls-Royce's Tempest Grey finish, which acts as the perfect base for the contrasting gloss black Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, front grill, accents, and wheels. Inside, O'Gara Coach x Rolls-Royce Beverly Hills took advantage of the Black Badge's range of color options by styling both interiors in an extraordinary monochrome Tailored Purple design. As if the show-stopping cabins weren't enough, drivers and passengers are welcomed with Rolls-Royce's world-renowned starlight headliner. With more than 1,900 individual stars illuminated above your head, you'll have to keep your eyes peel for the shooting star that travels across the headliner. Gloss-woven carbon trim add an extra layer of luxury to the comfort-focused interiors, with rear entertainment that make these Rolls-Royces the ultimate daily drivers.
