New MCLAREN W1! First Look at the P1 Successor

This is the brand new MCLAREN W1! Join me in Woking for a first look at McLaren's awaited successor to the P1, now completely a trilogy of 1 cars. Limited to 399 cars, featuring a hybrid V8 powertrain boasting 1,275hp and new aero including the extendable rear wing, let's check it out!

McLaren's history includes two of the greatest road supercars ever; F1 and P1, now with W1 to follow up and continue this legacy. Launched 50 years to the day after McLaren's first Formula 1 World Championship title win with Emerson Fittipaldi, the W in the name links to the World Championship philosophy.

Boasting 1,275hp and 1,340Nm from the MHP-8 4.0l twin turbocharged V8, an entirely new engine versus that seen before, combined with an e-system developed from McLaren's racing in IndyCar. All of this sends all the power exclusively to the rear wheels, and boasts impressive performance with 0-100km/h (62mph) in 2.7s, 0-200km/h (124mph) in 5.8s, and 0-300km/h (186mph) in 12.7s, before reaching a limited top speed of 350km/h (217mph).

In a world of big aero, the W1 matches the recently introduced Ferrari F80's 1,000kg of downforce, in this case with the unique element of the rear wing that extends by 300mm out of the back of the car; quite literally a Long Tail. Additionally, the interior is accessed by new Anhedral 'gullwing' doors, to house an all new cabin with plenty of details to share - and benefitted by folding headrests to access a storage area behind the seats.

It has been an honour to visit McLaren in Woking to explore the new W1 and present a first look in person of the new car. No doubt the upcoming customers of McLaren's latest hypercar are going to own a phenomenal machine.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Me seeing this car for the first time: not bad
Me seeing this car again after seeing F80: Magnificent!!!

[YasamaroXL]

this is what I was waiting for... a proper walk around. now I can appreciate all the little details that got lost in the reveal video

[neihomai]

this looks a lot better than that new ferrari hypercar

[Krenisphia]

All right you've convinced me. I'll get two.

[isurumw]

It doesn't have the wow factor of the P1. But compared to the la ferrari succesor this is so much better.

[Mario_RX]

This car got wayyy too much hate when released. Yes the P1 is perfection, but the W1 is also a work of art.😍

[sobsessed]

So excited to get to work speccing ours, lots of pressure!

[redstang]

I cant wait to see you drive it, no one really conveys the feeling of how a car drives quite like you do Tim.

[abdulrahmanalshuaibi]

Thanks so much Shmee for sharing this video before anyone else. Amazing look indeed and love how side mirrors are designed to help with aero....cannot wait to see you testing it on track 🔥

[edsims]

I can't to see it on a track. Phenomenal car. McLaren does it again! Great video.

[GT]

Looks like someone sneezed on those seats 😂

[MW-uynp]

Can't wait to see one in person. nice review as always Schmee, your specialty.

[mba]

This car looks more badass than the day it launched for a reason. It looks like a younger brother with more agression of P1 which is very mature and elegant

[vukasakhecapitalvsc]

😂 "150 kilos lighter than their competitor out there" 👏🏽 that one line deserves a PR master class, that was beautiful to witness....

[mrs]

I wasnt too sure of this when i initially saw it but im starting to absolutely love it. That spec with the black accents is spot on 👌🏻

[carlopipia]

I already know that will be an amazing video Tim❤️

[HossLUK]

I already loved this car from the reveal, but this detailed walk around made me love it even more. I can't wait to see people get their hands on these for proper track days and spirited road drives.

[MotorMedia-G]

The more I look at it the more I love it 😍

[neiladkins]

Love Ya Shmee, and thank you very much for showing us the ins and outs of this awesome car

[samwings]

McLaren just does it right. This car is honestly so freaking cool! Can’t wait to see how some people spec theirs.
