McLaren introduces the W1, which it describes as “the ultimate expression of our supercar first principles”.
Not just any car can be given the ‘1’ title. ‘1’ cars have to have epic power.
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 McLaren’s first Formula 1 World Championship win, W1 embodies the brand’s world championship mindset.
W1 features an all-new, McLaren High-Performance Hybrid Powertrain that consists of the new MHP-8 engine, 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.
