New McLaren W1 Revealed: The HOLY TRINITY is BACK!

This is the new McLaren W1!

It’s the most powerful and quickest-accelerating McLaren road car EVER! And it’s the first hypercar from the next-generation Holy Trinity to be revealed.

Besides an all-new chassis, the W1 features a completely new 4.0-litre twin-turbo hybrid V8 engine that revs to 9,200rpm.

Working with a compact F1-style electric motor, this powertrain produces 1,275hp – so it’s the most powerful road-legal McLaren ever built.

It accelerates from 0-62mph (100kph) quicker than a McLaren P1, hits 124mph (200kph) quicker than a Ferrari SF90 or Lamborghini Revuerlto, and it’ll beat a Bugatti Chiron from 0-186mph (300kph).

That’s despite all this power being sent through an 8-speed automatic gearbox to the rear wheels only – Koenigsegg style.

The McLaren W1’s top speed is 217mph, but what’s really impressive is how quickly it’ll lap a race track. At the Nardo Handling Circuit in Italy, it beat the McLaren Senna’s record by 3.0 seconds.

The key to this hot-lap pace is Formula 1 aerodynamics, including a huge rear diffuser, underbody ground-effect and gigantic active surfaces, including a long tail-style movable wing. Combine this all together, and the McLaren W1 produces a whole tonne of downforce – literally, 1,000kg of the stuff.

As you’d expect, this G-Force delivery system doesn’t come cheap. The McLaren W1 costs £2,000,000 after tax. McLaren will only build 399 of them, and they’re all sold out…

But this new hypercar is only one third of the new Holy Trinity. So what are Ferrari and Porsche cooking up? Watch the video to find out…

the p1 looks like a organic living organism. this looks like a hyper car. if that makes sense

[talkshow]

I used to think the P1 was a timeless classic that looks modern even in 2024, but this time, McLaren have outdone themselves. This is one beautiful car.

[haventcenathing]

The P1 was a work of art, the W1 is more aggressive and angular it looks built to be a racecar. Nothing can top the P1 design it was so smooth so beautiful. The W1 has a lot of what I assume is exposed or maybe black painted carbon, I wonder what it would look like with some of that wrapped or painted body color. Good design, great job McLaren.

The fact that this car has a bigger battery and electric motor compared to the P1, and is only 5 kilos heavier is crazy.

Damn I started a war in the replies

[parisplatynov]

P1 in it's years was really a revolution. The W1 is not showing us anything we haven't seen yet. I think that's only an refresh

[ski]

new holy trinity is gonna be legendary 😮‍💨

[FruitFlyKilla]

It looks like the kind of weird hypercar that sometimes pops up out of China or the UAE.

[ronaldocost]

P1 owners: Feeling good about owning the best looking car McLaren has ever made.

[DIVEnSOME]

4:09 you’ll never let Yianni live down that day, will you 😂😂

[joelbrown]

It's growing on me, , I loved the P1 from the moment it was unveiled. It has always been a dream car of mine. I think this has a lot to live upto compared to the P1.

[kavin]

Wow it's stunning. I think it could carry the Legacy of the P1

[ericship]

The p1 set the bar so high mclaren is never going to make something as good as that car ever again

[edwardtran]

Lacks the elegance of P1. Still a monster

[timpearson]

I reckon that this was designed by a design team.
The P1 and F1 were each designed by a designer.

[mohammadrizwan]

I like it. From the side you can inspo from the McLaren Senna, from the front, the rear, and the silhouette it looks like a modernized McLaren P1. The headlight design is similar to the McLaren GT.

[martyndyson]

I love the design, it's the best looking Mclaren in my opinion, love the spoiler and doors, the front end looks great. Looks are different for everyone and you will always get people who love and hate it.

[anamsakalonu]

This W1 is a cool modern supercar. Mclaren P1 is a living beautiful being

[MatHewitt]

This is a beautiful car but the McLaren P1 will forever be a true work of art and engineering

[CarSpotterUnique]

this design is organic with static racing carbon parts which i think is the perfect combo for a car like this. however, i think the front looks like a toyota prius
