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.
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.
The McLaren W1 features a beautifully crafted wraparound interior providing best-in-class visibility, driver focus and comfort.
W1 also marks the world’s first application of our patented McLaren InnoKnit, an infinitely flexible, seamlessly integrated, super-light material. Through InnoKnit we are able to integrate interior lighting and sound components under one surface, reducing weight without impacting performance.
The McLaren W1 is the pinnacle of supercar design.
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.
