Precisely 50 years after Emerson Fittipaldi’s world title, McLaren has unveiled its latest masterpiece: the W1.

Nothing boosts desirability like scarcity—this car’s exclusivity is a collector’s dream come true.

Following in the iconic F1 and P1 footsteps, the W1 is a £2 million marvel that’s already sold out before anyone can drool over it properly.

The W1 boasts a staggering 1,257 bhp, thanks to a hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor. All that power goes straight to the rear wheels, launching to 62mph in just 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 217mph.

Hold on tight; that’s pure rocket ship territory—perfect for those who want their hypercar to feel like it’s defying physics.

‘Proof that if you throw enough horsepower at the road, eventually it’ll surrender.’

Weighing in at a mere 1,399 kg, the W1 has a power-to-weight ratio that would make even the most seasoned thrill-seeker’s head spin.

From ground-hugging gull-wing doors to an active rear wing that extends in Race Mode, the W1 slices through the air like a jet fighter, with aerodynamics designed to enhance performance at ridiculous speeds.

With 3D-printed suspension, an aircraft-inspired overhead console, and McLaren’s race-honed minimalist steering, the W1 feels like a Formula 1 car for the road.

In a world dominated by electric speedsters, the McLaren W1 brings back the visceral excitement of raw, petrol-powered performance while embracing the future of hybrid tech.

McLaren knows that the key to a successful car isn’t just numbers—it’s how it makes you feel.

The W1 promises to deliver a driving experience that stirs the soul, making it a true driver’s car despite all its tech wizardry.

For collectors and enthusiasts, this is more than just a car—it’s a legend in the making.
