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.

​

Performance everywhere.

Sensational on road. Superb on track. A breadth of ability embodied by our F1 and P1™, taken to the next level with the McLaren W1. Best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 911PS/tonne, guaranteeing ultimate driver control and engagement. 

This bandwidth is foundational to any '1' car, and the absolute pinnacle of what McLaren does best.
