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 New 2027 Lexus TZ Is A 3-Row Electric Luxury SUV

By Tyler Rampersaud – May 07, 2026

Lexus Unveils New 2027 TZ EV SUV

Lexus arrived on the scene in the ‘90s as a disruptor to the existing luxury car landscape, and since then, has become a luxury automotive titan in its own right. Some of its most popular staples include the flagship LX SUV, the rugged, off-road capable GX, and the IS sports sedan. However, Lexus has begun to introduce battery-electric vehicles to its lineup, and the latest is the new 2027 Lexus TZ. A three-row all-electric luxury SUV built on the manufacturer’s TNGA platform, the new 2027 Lexus TZ features a design concept that prioritizes comfort for all passengers, utilizing BEV technology to provide an elegant and relaxing environment while also delivering an engaging driving experience. The “Driving Lounge Concept” was the inspiration for the TZ’s design, informing what Lexus calls a sculptural exterior silhouette, the use of materials like Forged Bamboo in the interior, and a three-row layout that offers luxury to all passengers. The cabin is designed to feel open and spacious, with a low floor, a long wheelbase, a slim instrument panel, and a panoramic roof. <- Gallery -> The interior is also the quietest a Lexus SUV has had to offer, thanks not only to the quietness of EVs but also to additional noise reduction measures. The front passenger seat and the second-row seats offer ventilation and power ottomans, which is a first for a Lexus SUV, with easy access to the well-cushioned third-row seats. One-touch folding for the second and third-row seats gives access to generous cargo space. 5G connectivity evolves the vehicle’s infotainment capability, including a “Hey Lexus” virtual assistant. The panoramic glass roof uses a wire system for its sunshade, which maximizes headroom and cabin height. Other luxurious features include standard ambient lighting, a Mark Levinson audio system, and more. DIRECT4 all-wheel drive will be standard on the new 2027 Lexus TZ, with torque able to be distributed from front to rear, allowing for rear-wheel drive in certain situations. Several drive modes allow the vehicle to adapt to different driving needs, including a REAR COMFORT mode that prioritizes the rear-seat passengers. The design combines the modern, futuristic Lexus design language with sustainable materials throughout, with an all-new Shaded Ivy exterior color being added to the palette. Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 comes as standard, offering highly advanced safety and driving assistance features. With the new all-electric, three-row TZ set to be available towards the end of 2026, pricing and grades for the new model are set to be revealed later this year.

Lexus & Alex Alpert Unveil A New Custom IS 350 At Expo Chicago

By Tyler Rampersaud – April 06, 2026

New Lexus x Alex Alpert Custom IS 350 Unveiled

The Lexus IS is one of the most iconic nameplates in the Japanese luxury titan’s history. Introduced in the late ‘90s as a sporty entry-level model for the brand, the IS quickly became one of the most celebrated models to come from Lexus. With rear-wheel drive, ample power, sharp styling, and exciting agility, the IS earned a reputation as an entry-level luxury sedan that punched above its weight when it came to fun factor. Then, the IS F introduced the “F” moniker for Lexus with a 5.0-liter V8 that warranted a taller hood to accommodate it, and later generations of the sedan would build on that sport sedan legacy. Now, the Lexus IS continues to showcase sharp styling with luxury features in a relatively compact package, and it’s still one of the most enticing luxury sport sedans on the market. Recently, the latest Lexus IS 350 served as the basis for a custom vehicle created in collaboration between Lexus and visual artist Alex Alpert, which was showcased at EXPO Chicago. <- Gallery -> Alpert’s signature work features a line-art style, which was replicated in the form of the IS 350 by placing black lines on the white car. The lines not only trace some of the contours and design touches on the IS 350, but they also feature illustrations that pay homage to Lexus’ history and the brand’s Japanese heritage in a custom hood design. The custom car is the first activation in a year-long partnership between Lexus and Alpert, and showcases yet another intersection between the luxury automotive and art worlds from Lexus.

Caroline Marks' Lexus GX Just Made Pro Surf Life Cooler

Surf culture and luxury SUVs don’t usually share the same lane, until now, with Lexus teaming up with professional surfer Caroline Marks. It’s a solid pairing between someone who spends most of her time catching waves and a car that actually makes that on-the-go lifestyle easier. It's the perfect example of real-world use instead of a staged partnership. Caroline, who grew up riding waves in Melbourne Beach, FL, has been on a steady run at the top of the World Surf League, fast, controlled, and never really out of place, even when the conditions aren’t ideal. That kind of approach lines up well with the 2026 Lexus GX, which isn’t trying to be flashy for the sake of it. It’s all about being dependable in the moments that actually matter. Looking ahead, this is also part of Lexus's broader involvement in the World Surf League, partner on events like the Lexus US Open, Lexus Trestles Pro, Lexus Fiji Pro, and Lexus Pipe Masters. With Marks on the team, it all comes across pretty straightforward, no big statement, just a couple of things that work well together, doing exactly what they’re supposed to. All Lexus GX Inventory

Lexus x Laufey The New One-Off “Blue In Green” Edition RZ

By Tyler Rampersaud – March 30, 2026

New One-Off Lexus RZ “Blue In Green” Edition Revealed

Lexus earlier announced that it would be collaborating with Icelandic-Chinese musician Laufey on a project called “100 Miles,” a musical celebration of the 100th birthday of legendary jazz pioneer Miles Davis. That collaboration included a live debut on Twitch of Laufey’s reimagined “Blue In Green” song, and the creation of a new one-off rendition of the Lexuz RZ, the Japanese luxury marque’s BEV model. The new RZ Blue In Green Edition is a bespoke one-off inspired by the song and the creative forces behind it. Its design brings together Laufey’s modern approach to jazz music with touches that pay homage to Miles Davis and his trumpet. Its custom exterior finish, as its name suggests, features a shifting color that shows both blue and green in different lighting. Brass accents and an interior finished in aged leather and burgundy velvet are clear reminders of Miles Davis, referencing not only his trumpet but also the classic look of an instrument case. The custom vehicle features a badge that reinterprets the Lexus “L” emblem with Laufey’s signature script “L” instead, and the trunk features the lyrics of her rendition of “Blue In Green.” When the vehicle is turned on, the first few notes of “Blue In Green” by Miles Davis play, a finishing touch that playfully celebrates the incredible musical legacy of Miles Davis. <- Gallery -> About the car, Laufey says, “Miles Davis’ music has this timeless, atmospheric quality. Seeing ‘Blue In Green’ translated into a physical design was surreal. We captured the feeling of the song, something classic, emotional and a little mysterious, and turned it into something that will actually move you.” Erin Davis, Miles Davis’ son, was also impressed with the result of the collaboration, saying, “My father always created music that people could live inside of. To see ‘Blue In Green’ reimagined and expressed through design like this is really special. It shows how deeply that feeling still resonates.” Streaming now exclusively on Amazon Music, Laufey’s “Blue In Green” is available now to listen to, and the new one-off Lexus RZ Blue In Green Edition is a physical, visual representation of the musical convergence.

Why Toyota’s $225K Gazoo Racing GT Supercar Will Be Sold Through Lexus Dealers

Toyota is about to redefine its performance hierarchy with the arrival of its upcoming Gazoo Racing GT supercar, a flagship model that will not only elevate the brand’s sporting credentials but also introduce a new retail strategy in the United States. When the 2027 GR GT arrives at the end of the year, it will be sold through select Lexus dealerships – and without Toyota badging – an intentional move that underscores both its positioning and exclusivity. The decision reflects a practical reality: Gazoo Racing, despite its growing global recognition, does not operate a standalone dealer network in the U.S. market. Until now, the GR badge has been reserved for performance variants of existing Toyota models, including the Supra, GR Corolla, and GR86. The GR GT, however, represents something entirely different – a six-figure, halo-level supercar designed to compete at the highest levels of both road and motorsport performance. In doing so, Toyota is effectively elevating Gazoo Racing into a brand in its own right. By aligning GR with Lexus dealerships – mirroring the strategy used for the ultra-luxury Century SUV – the company is creating a more premium, curated buying experience that better suits a vehicle expected to command about $225,000. Beyond retail strategy, the GR GT signals Toyota’s broader ambition to diversify its performance and electrification roadmap. As the automaker continues to pursue carbon neutrality, it is investing across multiple pathways, including battery-electric vehicles, hybrids, and hydrogen technologies. The GR GT, with its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, represents a high-performance counterpoint within that portfolio, blending traditional internal combustion with advanced engineering. Expected to deliver performance approaching 200 mph, the GR GT is underpinned by an all-aluminum chassis shared with a future all-electric Lexus LFA successor. In a notable first for Toyota, the road-going GR GT and its GT3 racing counterpart were developed simultaneously – ensuring that motorsport DNA is embedded into the car from inception rather than adapted after the fact. That philosophy extends directly into Toyota’s racing ambitions. The GR GT3 is slated to make its North American debut at the 2027 Rolex 24 at Daytona, marking a pivotal transition as Lexus exits sports car competition after a decade campaigning the RC F in the GTD ranks. “For us, we're committed to the RC F for this year,” said Jeffrey Bal, Lexus Racing Director of Motorsports. “We’ll remain Lexus Racing. When the new car shows up, we will be Gazoo Racing.” The shift also introduces new considerations around customer engagement and dealer readiness, particularly as GR evolves from a performance sub-brand into a standalone identity. “The GR GT will be sold through Lexus, we still have an important communication job, that we need to do with our dealers and our customers. We're working on that now,” Bal said. “In Japan, there are 80 dealerships that have a GR Garage, which is a home for motorsports enthusiasts. I don’t know if we’ll go down that route with some of our dealers, because some of them do race. If they do, that’s great and we’ll support it. “The GR GT mantra is motorsports-bred, so they [road and race car] were built hand-in-hand. This has been a global effort, not just TMC. You’ve had TRD plus our race team assisting with testing, development, and feedback. Same with GR Europe with our drivers and teams from over there.” That global collaboration has been central to the GT3 car’s development, according to Tyler Gibbs, Group Vice President and President of TRD. “It’s been a great project for us,” he said. “The things that we at TRD have learned through this process with the new car, being able to work on a portion of that, has been great. It's just been a good opportunity for us and our sister company in Europe. Our drivers have contributed to it. We had the car here last year, tested it a number of times, we're excited about, about the new car and where it will take us.” Driver input has played a critical role in shaping the GR GT3, with experienced racers helping refine its performance across multiple continents and racing disciplines. Among them is Jack Hawksworth, a former IndyCar driver and 2023 GTD Pro champion, who has been deeply involved in testing. “I've driven it a few times now, I've probably tested it seven or eight times, at different tracks in the US, in Japan, Europe, so on a good number of occasions,” Hawksworth said. “With any race car, it's nice to get the feedback from all the different kind of drivers who are racing in different series, especially a GT3 car if you're hoping it's going to race all over the world. “The tracks in Europe are very different to the tracks in America and the racing style in Japan is very different to the racing style in Europe, so we had a collection of Japanese drivers, American drivers, European drivers who worked on the program and, we went all over the world really testing this car to try and develop something that, that's gonna be really consistent no matter where it's raced, whether it be in Asia, in America, in Europe. “I really enjoyed being a part of it and I’ll be super excited to see it actually race, it looks sweet in pictures, so, yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it with our livery on it; that'll be nice.” As Toyota positions the GR GT at the intersection of luxury retail, motorsport pedigree, and next-generation performance strategy, the model is poised to become a defining statement – not just for Gazoo Racing, but for the future direction of the Japanese-based core company as a whole.

Lexus & Laufey Collaborate On New “100 Miles” Musical Project

By Tyler Rampersaud – March 17, 2026

Lexus & Laufey Launch A New Musical Project

A celebrated young artist known for blending genres and mastering composition, vocal performance, and instruments, Laufey has enjoyed a blossoming career, and the latest move from the Icelandic-Chinese musician is a collaboration with Lexus, the Japanese luxury automotive manufacturer. That collaboration is a musical event that celebrates the centenary of Miles Davis, a pioneering jazz artist, with a livestream on Twitch and the debut of “Blue In Green,” a Davis song reimagined by Laufey. However, the event doesn’t just premiere a new song; a one-of-one Lexus has also been created as part of the collaboration. Regarding the event, Laufey said, “Partnering with Lexus to bring this celebration to life felt natural. They get how creativity and innovation can move people, just like music does.” The event and premiere of the song will take place on March 27 at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT. The one-off Lexus that will be revealed is the Blue In Green Edition Lexus RZ, a vehicle customized with personal touches from Laufey combining jazz tradition and luxury craftsmanship with the futurism of the all-electric Lexus model. Celebrating what would have been the 100th birthday of a revolutionary jazz legend, Laufey and Lexus are coming together for an exciting collaboration that is both digital and physical.

Lexus Hints at What Comes Next for Its Sports Cars on Dec...

Mark your calendars! For longtime Lexus fans, the brand’s performance lineup has always felt like deliberate exceptions rather than constant repeats. Models like the IS F and GS F took the scene quietly and earned their reputations the long way, while the LC proved that Lexus could still prioritize design and driving feel in an world drifting toward anonymity. Then there’s the LFA, arguably the most unlikely supercar ever built by a brand better known for restraint. Sure, it was fast and rare, but it was also obsessive in a way that still resonates with car lovers today. That context matters heading into December 5, when Toyota Motor Corporation will live stream an “All-New Sports Models” world premiere, a phrase that feels vague and oddly promising at the same time. Details are scarce. Lexus performance has never been about rapid-fire launches or chasing trends. When Akio Toyoda appears alongside Toyota’s top executives for something like this, it usually signals something truly special. Past debuts suggest that Lexus takes a long-term approach, engineering cars to age well and feel timeless years later, rather than just impressing at first glance. Whether this reveal points to a new halo car, a rethinking of where models like the LC sit in today’s market, or an entirely new approach to sports cars, it lands at a pivotal moment. More than anything, this moment is an opportunity to see whether Lexus still believes there’s room for sports cars built with patience, character, and real-world longevity. If Lexus’s past performance cars were defined by restraint and confidence, December 5 may give us a clearer picture of how that mindset translates into the next decade.
