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.

Next-Gen Tesla Roadster Revealed: 0-60 in 0.81 Seconds, and It Can Fly

Flying cars – we've seen them in cartoons, TV shows, and movies, and for decades, they have been the stuff of dreams for generations. Sure, some attempts have tried to make cars transform into something that resembles a plane, but earlier tonight, Tesla moved that idea a little closer to reality with a form that still resembles a supercar. In our preview ahead of the originally planned October 1 reveal, we noted that Musk had teased radically higher design goals and a SpaceX connection. Tonight, Tesla finally showed what that meant. Nearly nine years after Tesla first showed its second-generation Roadster, the car has finally returned, and this time its headline act goes far beyond acceleration. At SpaceX’s rocket development and test facility in McGregor, Texas, Tesla demonstrated a Roadster capable of lifting itself off the ground, hovering and performing controlled aerial maneuvers using compressed-air thrusters. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tesla (@teslamotors) On Stage were Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy, and Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen. Musk said he wanted an audience present partly to prove the demonstration was real and not AI, describing the Roadster as what happens when the “world’s best car company” works with the “world’s best rocket company.” He also warned that success was not guaranteed, although excitement was. Spectators were positioned at a safe distance, but, as he put it, “excitement is 100% guaranteed.”Tesla is understood to be developing four versions of the Roadster: a base model, Performance, Thrust, and Rocket. The base car has not yet appeared on Tesla’s public website, while Performance is the road-ready version with fan-assisted aero, Thrust adds rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters, and the invite-only Rocket takes things further with perimeter-mounted thrusters and genuine aerial capability. The SpaceX-derived hardware becomes progressively more extreme depending on the version. The Thrust model adds a 200-liter composite-overwrapped pressure vessel behind the occupants, storing more than 100 kilograms of pressurized nitrogen at up to 10,000 psi and feeding four rear-facing cold-gas thrusters.The invite-only Rocket goes considerably further, adding another 400-liter pressure vessel in place of the passenger seat and six additional thrusters positioned around the car. That brings total capacity to 600 liters and the nozzle count to 10, giving the Roadster forward, upward, lateral, and rotational control. An onboard system can repressurize the tanks without requiring special propellant. <- Gallery -> The Rocket’s thrusters provide altitude and directional control, effectively allowing the Roadster to behave like a reusable rocket in miniature. Tesla demonstrated the car climbing vertically, hovering tens of feet above the ground and performing what it calls a “kick flip,” with on-screen telemetry showing 68 feet of altitude and 170 degrees of pitch. The demonstration was performed autonomously, with a Starman mannequin in the driver's seat. There is equally serious engineering underneath. The Roadster’s multi-mode fan and ground-sealing system create a low-pressure area beneath the car, generating downforce even at a standstill. Tesla says the system can produce enough suction to hold the car upside down, while its demonstrated setup generated more than 4,000 kilograms of stationary downforce. At speed, active underbody elements open to increase airflow, while a variable-pitch rear wing automatically balances downforce and drag. Track Mode also lowers and stiffens the suspension, turning the Roadster from a straight-line showcase into something intended for sustained circuit use. Tesla demonstrated the Roadster accelerating from 0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds, while top speed is claimed at 230 mph. Visually, it is significantly different from the smooth 2017 prototype we covered previously. The new Roadster adopts a low-slung, wedge-shaped profile with strong 1980s cyberpunk influences, butterfly doors, razor-thin full-width light bars front and rear, an enormous deployable wing and four prominent thruster outlets positioned above an aggressive diffuser. The result looks closer to a science-fiction movie car made functional than a conventional EV, appropriate given Musk’s long-running claim that the Roadster should outdo fictional James Bond cars. Tesla has also taken the aerospace theme unusually far. Ano White paint takes inspiration from coatings designed to protect spacecraft against ultraviolet exposure, cryogenic conditions, corrosion, and electrostatic buildup. The Gold Glazed glass is intended to mimic the copper-toned coating used on spacesuit visors, complemented by titanium accents.Inside, the yoke is designed specifically around steer-by-wire, while a central touchscreen is joined by two smaller displays positioned further forward. Instead of moving the entire seat, Tesla uses a fixed seating position and an adjustable pedal box to accommodate different drivers while reducing weight. Microsuede bolsters provide additional grip, while magnesium, titanium and carbon fiber feature extensively throughout the car.More significant is what sits underneath. Tesla’s latest Roadster is rear-wheel drive, using two compact rear motors producing a claimed 1,300 horsepower and 1,033 pound-feet of torque. Despite its battery pack and additional aero hardware, the company is targeting a weight below 1,700 kilograms. Brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, double-wishbone suspension and extensive active aerodynamics further underline the Roadster’s focus on driving engagement. Tesla has not announced final pricing or battery capacity, but post-reveal technical briefings have filled in several important gaps. The new Roadster is targeting more than 300 miles of range, considerably less than the 620 miles originally promised in 2017, while 500-kW Supercharging is expected to take the battery from 15 to 80 percent in around 10 minutes. Tesla is also targeting roughly 25 to 30 minutes of sustained maximum-performance track driving before charging becomes necessary. Reservations for Performance are now open with a fully refundable $5,000 payment followed by another $45,000 within 10 days, bringing the total deposit to $50,000. The Thrust version requires a substantially larger reservation commitment, while Rocket remains invite-only. Musk says production will begin “for real” in 2028, although Tesla’s reservation agreement cautions that the Roadster remains under development and does not guarantee when, or ultimately whether, a reserved vehicle will be delivered. As significant automotive moments go, this is a big one. The Roadster moves the game forward dramatically, combining automotive and aerospace engineering in a way only Tesla was likely to attempt, let alone demonstrate live.

Tesla Teases Next-Generation Roadster Ahead of October 1 Reveal

Tesla has dropped another teaser for its long-awaited second-generation Roadster, with the company now pointing toward an October 1 reveal after nearly nine years of waiting. Shown at the close of Tesla’s latest Semi event, the few-second clip depicts what appears to be shipping container doors opening around an extremely low-slung vehicle, with a thin light bar and fast-cut graphics lending it a cyberpunk, almost Back to the Future feel. A distorted SpaceX logo also flashes briefly across the screen before the ‘Roadster’ name appears. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tesla (@teslamotors) The timing feels appropriate because Tesla’s own story effectively began with the original Lotus-based Roadster back in the late 2000s. Tesla later described that car’s proprietary electric powertrain as the foundation of its business, with the technology helping form the basis of the Model S. Since then, the company has increasingly embraced unconventional ideas, from the Model X’s Falcon Wing doors and minimalist cabins to the Cybertruck, Semi, and more recently Robotaxi. That history makes a major evolution from designer Franz von Holzhausen’s 2017 Roadster concept increasingly plausible. CEO Elon Musk said back in 2024 that Tesla had “radically increased the design goals” for the car. The original performance targets were already extraordinary, with Tesla claiming a 1.9-second 0-60 mph time, a top speed above 250 mph, and 620 miles of range, as we noted in our coverage of the 2017 reveal. However, Tesla’s now-discontinued Model S Plaid carries a claimed 1.99-second 0-60 mph time, meaning straight-line acceleration alone would no longer deliver the shock value it did back in 2017, and Musk tweeted back in 2024 that the upcoming Roadster will have a 0-60 mph time of under one second. That brings the long-rumored SpaceX package sharply back into focus. Musk has previously described the system in unusually specific terms, telling Jay Leno that the Roadster would use ultra-high-pressure compressed air through cold-gas thrusters developed with SpaceX, including a primary rear thruster concealed behind the license plate. More recently, Reuters reported that Tesla could demonstrate a limited-edition version equipped with those thrusters at SpaceX’s McGregor, Texas test facility. Tesla-focused outlets have also reported that the FAA issued a temporary flight restriction over the McGregor facility through October 2, although the restriction itself does not identify the Roadster or specify the reason for the closure. In terms of cars featuring unconventional technology around the rear, a few notable examples already exist. The GMA T.50 employs a rear-mounted fan to manage airflow, while the McMurtry Spéirling relies on fan-assisted downforce to effectively suck itself to the road. More extreme still, the Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition concept has proposed dual solid-fuel rocket boosters. The Roadster will also provide another reference point against the EV hypercars, and we’re curious to see where it will land on our list of the world’s most powerful production cars. Tesla has meanwhile reopened Roadster reservations at $50,000. The original 2017 pricing stood at $200,000 for the standard car and $250,000 for the Founder Series, although final pricing for the production version has yet to be confirmed. Nine years after the original prototype appeared, the October 1 unveiling now looks increasingly like the debut of something far more ambitious than the Roadster Tesla first showed in 2017.

End of the Line: The Car That Made Tesla a Global Powerhouse Is Officially Gone

Supercars and exotics are our bread and butter here at duPont REGISTRY, and EVs don't usually command as much attention. But yesterday at its Fremont factory, Tesla marked the end of the line for the Model S and Model X with a Signature Edition delivery event, and this is a moment that cannot be ignored. Why? Because it was the Model S that got the ball rolling for electric cars in the modern era, while also making high-performance accessible to the masses. Its impact on the auto industry cannot be overstated and can be mentioned in the same breath as the Ford Model T or VW Beetle. Elon Musk took to the stage alongside Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, and Engineering Lead Lars Moravy to mark the occasion. The Signature Edition runs just 350 cars: 250 Model S and 100 Model X, each priced at $159,420 and available by invitation only (sold out). Every car wears an exclusive Garnet Red paint, gold Tesla badges front and rear, a numbered dashboard plaque, and a white Alcantara interior with gold piping. Now EVs may be mainstream today, but looking back, the electric car has existed for well over a century. It competed with steam power in the earliest days of the automobile, and then gasoline won, and the world moved on. For most of the 20th century, the EV remained an R&D project, and early cars were far from being conventional or cool. Think GM EV1 or the infamous G-Wiz across the pond. Nobody wanted one, and Franz even referred to a Golf cart. Tesla changed that, but the story of this change in perception did not begin with the Model S. It started with the original Roadster back in 2008, a low-volume, high-ticket sports car that was built around a Lotus Elise platform, serving one purpose: proving electric cars could be desirable. The Roadster also served a strategic function, as the Revenue from that car funded the development of the mass-market product that followed. That car was the Model S, a low-slung four-door sedan that looked conventional from a distance and genuinely futuristic up close. It arrived in 2012 and made plugging in feel aspirational rather than compromising. Musk understood that performance alone would not be enough to convince skeptics, and so he built the infrastructure to back the cars up, which is why the Supercharger Network grew alongside them, which is now open to EVs from other makes, including the likes of Porsche, BMW, and Lucid, to name a few. <- Gallery -> In that respect, Tesla operated more like Apple than any traditional automaker, controlling the hardware, software, and ecosystem simultaneously. That network has since grown into one of the most expansive EV charging systems in the world, now open to vehicles from other manufacturers entirely. To really drive my point home on Musk’s impact on the auto industry and mass adoption of EVs, here was a CEO who was willing to go bankrupt if a rival company built a better car. Tesla subsequently even made its patents public. The Model X followed in 2015, falcon-wing doors and all, and together the two vehicles ran for 14 and 11 years, respectively, before yesterday's send-off. Combined, both nameplates moved roughly 750,000 units across their production runs. Tesla replaced 97% of the components across that period, meaning the final cars share almost nothing with the originals beyond the name. Over-the-air updates meant older cars improved after purchase rather than aging out, and Tesla has always positioned itself as a tech company first, pioneering several technologies over the years, ranging from scaling battery production and motor performance to self-driving and so much more. Both cars also democratized high performance. Plaid-level acceleration had historically belonged mostly to supercars and exotics, but Tesla handed that same performance to anyone who could afford a premium sedan or crossover, and the industry has not recovered from that shift. Also, looking at the market share, when the Model S launched, EVs accounted for less than one percent of global new car sales. Last year, those figures peaked at roughly eight percent, and in China is well over half the market. On the collector case, Musk believes that the values of Model S and Model X will rise because the autonomous future makes driver-operated cars a finite and shrinking category. We don't know how far out that is, but the original Tesla Roadster is already part of the collector car conversation, and here's how much it hammered at not too long ago on duPont REGISTRY Live.

These Are The Big Differences Between Tesla's Cybertruck ...

We did the digging for you! What's the difference between a Cybertruck and a Cyberbeast? With an extra cool name and a $39k up-charge over its base starting price of $57,390, it's left future owners and enthusiasts asking the question today. Before you click to order and secure your allocation for Tesla's first EV pickup truck, let us break down the key differences to help make your decision even easier. Performance Showcasing the same futuristic look across the entire Cybertruck series (except for wheel options) with a wedge-shape, stainless-steel design, Tesla focused all of its upgrades around performance and functionality. While the Cybertruck rolls off Tesla's production line with a 600 horsepower dual-motor system that tops out at 112mph, the Cyberbeast delivers 50% more acceleration g-force using an 845 horsepower tri-motor. This translates to a blistering 0-60mph time of 2.6 seconds (Cyberbeast) over a still-impressive time of 4.1 seconds (Cybertruck). The Tesla Cyberbeast even comes with a BEAST Mode that pays homage to the original Ludicrous Mode used in the Tesla Model S and X platforms. With more power comes less range, which is why the Cybertuck comes out on top with a 340-mile range next to the Cyberbeast's 320-mile battery capacity. Functionality As we move onto the subject of mechanical differences, this is where Tesla flexes its functional muscles. Being that the Tesla Cybertruck is intended to perform the daily tasks of an everyday pickup truck, the AWD Cybertruck is fitted with both front and rear-locking differentials and individual wheel torque vectoring to raise its towing capacity to 11,000 lbs. The Cyberbeast only features a front-locking differential but fulfills an identical towing capacity thanks to the tri-motor's 10,296 lb-ft of torque. Whether you always have performance in mind or rather be more range-conscious, choosing between the Tesla Cybertruck and Cyberbeast is a winning choice.

Elon Musk Parody Teases New Bulletproof Tesla Golf Cart

What if Tesla’s electric vehicle included a golf cart? Tesla is known for its domination of the the rapidly expanding landscape of electric vehicles. As a pioneer in manufacturing luxury and performance-oriented electric vehicles, Tesla has risen to being one of the automotive industry’s most important names. As well as being one of the world’s most prominent businessmen, Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, is one of the automotive industry’s biggest figures, as well. Now, a parody account Elon Musk has taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce satirically that a new Tesla creation is in development, and that it is soon to come to fruition. Ironically, it’s a golf cart, a type of vehicle that has been popularized with electric powertrains long before firms like Tesla evolved the landscape of electric cars. With similar styling to the iconoclastic Cybertruck, the golf cart is bulletproof. So far, the post has gained lots of attention, with millions of views and thousands of interactions. Should Tesla actually make a bulletproof golf cart? The game of golf would look very different soon with a bulletproof Tesla golf cart of VIPs who want to hit the course.

Shaquille O'Neal Takes Delivery Of His New Carbon Widebod...

With an energetic personality as big as his massive 7'1" stature, Shaquille O'Neal has grown into an A-list celebrity with an impressive Hollywood resume alongside his successful 19-year career in the NBA. Shining in the spotlight through movie and TV show cameos throughout the years, it's more than apparent that Shaq has a passion for collecting cars. While height does pose the problem of owning supercars, Shaq has put that statement to rest after buying and modifying a silver Ferrari F355 Spider with extra legroom. This weekend, Shaquille O'Neal took to his Instagram page to give fans and followers an exclusive look at his brand-new Tesla Cyberbeast, customized with a list of upgrades that make it a true one-of-one build. Starting at the exterior of Telsa's EV pick-up truck, Shaq opted for a stealthy gloss black vinyl wrap over the manufacturer's factory raw aluminum finish. The body itself is upgraded with the first-ever carbon fiber widebody kit for the Tesla Cyberbeast, giving it a more aggressive appearance while adding more contrasting geometry to the truck. In addition, the front and rear bumper also feature custom "CyberDiesel" decals in Tesla's Cybertruck font. If the bright red headlight or matching underglow didn't grab your attention, the custom 26-inch black Forgiato wheels and off-road tires sure did. The interior remains factory in its minimal and spacious layout as Shaq needs no further interior upgrades for leg room or head space. Now with a brand new, one-of-one Tesla Cyberbeast in his fleet, courtesy of Effortless Motors, Shaq can now casually cruise South Beach in his custom EV truck.
