The McLaren W1 is the groundbreaking successor to the legendary F1 and P1, elevating McLaren’s ‘1’ car lineage with unmatched performance. A celebration of McLaren’s World Championship mindset, the W1 is designed with cutting-edge aerodynamics, lightweight engineering, and unparalleled driver connection. It is the fastest-lapping and fastest-accelerating road-legal McLaren to date.
At the heart of the W1 is the all-new MHP-8 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, paired with an advanced E-module for hybrid power. Together, they generate a staggering 1275PS, providing the highest power output of any McLaren and achieving a record power-to-weight ratio of 911PS/tonne. The car’s 0-100km/h acceleration is completed in 2.7 seconds, and it can reach 300km/h in under 12.7 seconds.
The W1’s hybrid powertrain combines a lightweight design, including a 1.384kWh battery, offering electric-only driving for up to 2km. This system delivers thrilling acceleration and dynamic precision, aided by Formula 1-inspired aerodynamics and rear-wheel-drive dynamics. The car’s ability to transition from Road to Race mode showcases its duality, equally at home on the track or road, with a stunning transformation that adjusts ride height and activates active wings to generate up to 1,000kg of downforce.
Engineered for both power and agility, the W1 is a testament to McLaren’s relentless pursuit of innovation, combining breathtaking performance with a lightweight chassis, further pushing the boundaries of supercar design.
