W1, the reviews are out. Proud is an understatement. Such positivity from magazines I trawled through as a kid, truly is the stuff of dreams! Moments like this are why after over 12 years at McLaren, I still pinch myself everyday. A massive thank you to those who have helped put dreams on driveways! To name just a few. Ryan D'Souza, Max Louch, Mushtaq Roble, Sahil Varma, Jon Diez Sierra, Wesley O'Callaghan, Evan Carter, Mayur Bhesania, Max Graystone-Lee, Vaz Gorasia, David Futcher, Antonio Carlos da Silva Filho, Stéfano Almeida, Dora Szalai, Bisi Joshua Oladipo MSc, Luke Phillips, Alex Oke, Nathan Barber A special thankyou to Barney King for all of your guidance over the years, I hope we have developed a worthy P1 successor! “1,258bhp through the rear wheels should be unmanageable, but instead the W1 is a paragon of feel, feedback and traction” Top Gear “Stunning performance without compromises” EVO “I think the W1 goes toe-to-toe against any of them.” PistonHeads “I love the W1’s straightforwardness of feedback and its built-in natural agility.” Autocar “If you were only going to have one hypercar to do it all, this might just be it.” Auto Express
