    McLaren Automotive confirms new ‘1’ car, McLaren W1, as a successor to the F1 and McLaren P1™!



    McLaren Automotive today confirms the next chapter in the extraordinary story of its legendary ‘1’ car lineage. The new supercar, named McLaren W1, will be revealed at 13:00 BST on Sunday, 6 October 2024.

    The W1 name celebrates McLaren’s World Championship mindset, with the public reveal date marking the 50th anniversary of McLaren winning its first Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship, and Emerson Fittipaldi winning the 1974 World Drivers’ Championship with McLaren.

    The McLaren W1, is a successor to the iconic McLaren F1, and the era-defining McLaren P1™.

    “The McLaren W1 is defined by real supercar principles and is the ultimate expression of a McLaren supercar. Born of our rich racing history and World Championship mindset, W1 pushes the boundaries of performance and is worthy of the ‘1’ name. Like its predecessors the F1 and McLaren P1™, W1 defines the rulebook of a real supercar.”
    Michael Leiters, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive

    A short film about the name can be found at https://cars.mclaren.com/en/W1.

    New detail

    - Looks low and sleek and wide with a double active rear wing and active front wing.

    - Vents and double venting like a F1 car up front, seats molded as one into the carbon fiber tub.

    If that’s it- not a fan. Looks too angular. Not sexy and curvy.

    It's definitely not as sleek as the P1, and it seems like they wanted to increase the cabin space because the roofline sits very high, and the windshield is awkwardly angled. I was expecting more of a Valkyrie-type design with P1 elements, but instead, it looks like a 750 replacement. I'm sure, in the right spec and in real life, it might look alright.

    It looks more like a next gen regular release car. Not a wild, limited edition hypercar. The front looks like the SF90. The rear looks bad. Disappointed.

    • if this is it, at least it is not polarizing design. We all don't like it :).
