at the end of september, overseas media reported that two new names appeared in mclaren's trademarks submitted to the british intellectual property office: "w1" and "mp1". among them, w1 is considered to be the name of a new generation of supercars.

mclaren then announced that it would officially release a new supercar on october 6, with the internal codename p18. this new car is confirmed as the successor of the mclaren p1 and adopts mclaren's latest design language and a newly developed v8 hybrid system.

mclaren said that the name w1 was inspired by its "world champion mentality", and the release of mclaren w1 coincides with the 50th anniversary of the manufacturer's first f1 world championship.

now, mclaren’s new w1 is finally here. the w1 is considered by mclaren to be the epoch-making successor to the two major supercars in history - the mclaren f1 and the mclaren p1. it elevates the performance of the mclaren "1" series sports cars to a new level.

w1 brings together mclaren's exceptional expertise in lightweight engineering and aerodynamic performance, derived from years of racing innovation. the engineering team behind the new mclaren w1 has helped mclaren win 16 f1 world championship titles in driver and team categories.

the w1's revolutionary high downforce, low drag, ground effect aerodynamic design and reduced ground clearance (37 mm lower at the front and 17 mm lower at the rear). the front and rear active wings unfold, and the mclaren active long rear wing extends up to 300 mm rearward, helping the w1 generate up to 1,000 kilograms of downforce.

the new mhp-8 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged v8 engine makes its debut in the w1. this new 1275-horsepower high-performance hybrid is equipped with a new e-module (integrated radial flux electric motor and motor control unit) and e-reverse functional 8-speed transmission. achieving performance levels previously only achieved by track-specific supercars and racing cars.

the key is that the w1 weighs only 1,399 kilograms, so it achieves an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 911 horsepower/ton - the highest value of any mclaren road-legal model ever.

w1’s amazing acceleration performance: it only takes 2.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, 5.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h, and it can be achieved from 0 to 300 km/h in less than 12.7 seconds.

the core principles of every mclaren supercar: unleash extreme power through cutting-edge aerodynamics and lightweight chassis technology; achieve the highest level of dynamic performance and the purest driving interconnection; create a perfect driving environment suitable for various driving situations.

the mclaren w1 is also an epoch-making existence as the fastest lap time and strongest acceleration in mclaren's history as a road-legal supercar.
