Nothing is confirmed about the W1 except it will debut this week and will be the successor to the legendary McLaren P1
Published September 30, 2024
The car will be known as “W1” and will be third in McLaren’s “1” series of ultra-rare and superfast cars. Every information apart from its name is purely speculation at this point but there are certain things we know the W1 will definitely have.
Hypercars translate to exclusivity and a 7 figure price tag, both of which W1 is expected to debut with. The car will likely be extremely limited. The P1 was limited to only 375 units, expect the W1 production number to be in that ballpark.
As for the price, you can bet it will be more than a million dollars.
There is an unforeseen but welcome surge in naturally aspirated hypercars but McLaren is an exception. The Woking base brand is known for its exceptionally powerful engines that have always been Turbocharged except for the super rare Solus GT which is powered by a Judd-derived NA V10. Just recently they released the first mass-production hybrid supercar, Artura.
The W1 might have a blend of Twin Turbocharged V8 and a trio of electric motors with 1100-1200 hp. It will also use some form of McLaren Proactive Chassis Control and a Carbon Fibre Monocoque. Similarly, 0-60 mph of less than 3 seconds and a 200 mph top speed is the bare minimum W1 should do.
We will keep updating this post as the story develops.
