THE REAL SUPERCAR

Introducing the McLaren W1. Not just any car can be given the '1' title. '1' cars have to be the ultimate expression of our supercar first principles. 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 our first Formula 1 World Championship win, W1 embodies our world championship mindset. To strive to achieve more. Always pushing the boundaries of performance.

Design

The exterior design combines shrink-wrapped organic surfaces on top with sharp, technical, aerodynamic devices below.

Our Formula 1-inspired side pods work in perfect harmony with the exterior surfaces to guide the airflow around the McLaren Aerocell, featuring the new McLaren Anhedral doors with integrated aero blades, not just a theatrical feature but also an integral part of the aerodynamic package.

Performance by design at its very best.

Performance

Sensational on road. Superb on track. A breadth of ability embodied by our F1 and P1™, taken to the next level with the McLaren W1. Best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 911PS/tonne, guaranteeing ultimate driver control and engagement.

This bandwidth is foundational to any '1' car, and the absolute pinnacle of what McLaren does best.

Engagement

A real supercar needs perfect weight distribution and rear-wheel drive.

Only McLaren's Formula 1-derived know-how in lightweight engineering, aerodynamics technology and superb vehicle dynamics, can deliver this much power and control through just the rear axle.

Combined with our world-leading McLaren Hydraulic Performance Steering and the epic stopping power of our Carbon Ceramic Braking System, the driver is connected to the road like nothing else, making the McLaren W1 an absolute joy to drive.

Interior

The McLaren W1 features a beautifully crafted wraparound interior providing best-in-class visibility, driver focus and comfort.

W1 also marks the world's first application of our patented McLaren InnoKnit, an infinitely flexible, seamlessly integrated, super-light material. Through InnoKnit we are able to integrate interior lighting and sound components under one surface, reducing weight without impacting performance.

The McLaren W1 is the pinnacle of supercar design.
