McLaren W1

McLaren has dared to defy convention with the McLaren W1. While competitors embrace front-wheel assistance, McLaren has boldly chosen to retain the purity of a rear-wheel-drive chassis in a car boasting immense power and torque. This daring decision underscores McLaren’s commitment to innovation and the pursuit of a truly exceptional driving experience.

McLaren’s unrivalled Formula 1 heritage has enabled them to achieve extraordinary feats of acceleration and dynamic performance in the McLaren W1. Despite immense power and torque, McLaren’s decision to maintain a rear-wheel-drive configuration has resulted in a supercar that delivers unmatched precision and control.

Prepare to be exhilarated by the McLaren W1, a car designed to deliver spine-tingling driving enjoyment. The W1’s revolutionary new aerodynamics, featuring high downforce and low drag, are further enhanced by a unique transformation process from Road mode to Race mode. In Race mode, the ride height is lowered, the suspension is stiffened and the front and rear wings are deployed. The McLaren Active Long Tail extends rearwards by up to 300mm, contributing to the impressive 1000kg of downforce available in McLaren W1.

Experience the thrill of the all-new MHP-8 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, paired with a powerful E-module, in the McLaren W1. This exceptional powertrain delivers exhilarating speed and performance, revving up to an impressive 9200rpm. The McLaren W1’s 1275PS High-Performance Hybrid powertrain, combined with McLaren’s renowned lightweight engineering, sets new benchmarks for performance, previously achievable only by track-focused supercars and racing machines.

The all-new MHP-8 4.0-litre twin-turbo v8 engine delivers a staggering 928PS. When combined with the 347PS of the W1’s innovative E-module, the total power output reaches an astonishing 1275PS. This makes the McLaren W1 the most powerful McLaren ever created. 

Engineering for unparalleled power and performance, the McLaren W1 delivers an exhilarating driving experience. The powerful 1275PS powertrain, combined with its lightweight 1399kg chassis, achieves an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 911PS/tonne. This sets a new benchmark for road-legal McLaren models and is the best-in-class.
