THE REAL SUPERCAR
THE REAL SUPERCAR
Introducing the McLaren W1.
Not just any car can be given the '1' title. '1' cars have to be the ultimate expression of our supercar first principles. The same principles that forged the F1 and the P1™. Epic Power, Performance Everywhere, Pure Driver Connection and Authentic Theatre.
Launched on the 50th anniversary of our first Formula 1 World Championship win, W1 embodies our world championship mindset. To strive to achieve more. Always pushing the boundaries of performance.
EPIC POWER
Real supercars have to have epic power.
W1 features an all-new, McLaren High-Performance Hybrid Powertrain that consists of our new MHP-8 engine, our brand new lighter E-module, F1-derived battery technology and the fast and sharp-shifting 8-speed dual clutch transmission, which includes an integrated E-Differential.
The result is the fastest accelerating road-legal McLaren ever, reaching 200km/h from standstill in a phenomenal 5.8 seconds.
AUTOMOTIVE ARTISTRY
At the heart of the W1 lies a work of automotive art: the all-new MHP-8 V8 engine. This ground-up design features port and direct injection to generate every last horsepower from every ounce of fuel and combines with the e-module to deliver a monumental 1,275PS with incredible responsiveness at low and high revs.
Pushing performance and response further than ever before.
The integrated aero system of the W1 is our most ambitious and effective aerodynamic design ever achieved on a McLaren road car.
W1's aero system includes the all-new purpose-built McLaren Aerocell and the new McLaren Active Long Tail, both integral parts in delivering exceptional aerodynamic performance.
The exterior design combines shrink-wrapped organic surfaces on top with sharp, technical, aerodynamic devices below.
Our Formula 1-inspired side pods work in perfect harmony with the exterior surfaces to guide the airflow around the McLaren Aerocell, featuring the new McLaren Anhedral doors with integrated aero blades, not just a theatrical feature but also an integral part of the aerodynamic package.
Performance by design at its very best.
Driving W1 is an incredible experience. One you feel with all your senses.
This incredible supercar offers best-in-class McLaren hydraulic steering, a new Formula 1-inspired suspension concept, ultra-high torque transmission and rear-wheel drive. A combination of unique ingredients delivering ultimate engagement in sound, speed, control and feedback.
