Power, Performance, and Shapeshifting Aerodynamics of the McLaren W1  

At the heart of the McLaren W1 is the all-new McLaren High-Performance Hybrid (MHPH) powertrain. This advanced system combines the MHP-8 V8 engine with an innovative E-module and Formula 1-inspired battery technology. The result? A staggering 1,275 PS of power and the title of the fastest accelerating road-legal McLaren ever. Additionally, it can sprint from 0 to 200 km/h in an astonishing 5.8 seconds.  

The true thrill of a supercar lies in its ability to deliver both on the road and on the track, and the McLaren W1 does this with unparalleled flair. With a power-to-weight ratio of 911 PS per tonne, it guarantees exhilarating driver control and engagement. The MHP-8 engine’s port and direct injection system optimize fuel utilization, delivering peak performance across all rev ranges, ensuring every drive is a thrilling experience.  

The W1 has advanced McLaren Aerocell, a lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber monocoque, improving agility and stability. The raised footbox and integrated seat create a more connected driving position, allowing for precise handling and feedback. This design is complemented by the McLaren Active Long Tail, which extends in race mode to improve aerodynamics and deliver an astounding 1,000 kg of downforce, five times more than its road configuration. This shapeshifting capability ensures the W1 remains stable and responsive at extreme speeds, delivering a driver-focused experience unlike any other.
