McLaren Automotive is set to showcase its '1' car lineage with the global public debut of the McLaren W1, along with McLaren P1 and F1 at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK.
The W1, displayed for the first time at 'McLaren House', features a 1275PS V8 hybrid powertrain and active aerodynamics, including “Formula 1-inspired” ground effect aero technology.
With only 399 examples available for customer specification, all of which are already allocated, the W1 joins the ranks alongside the McLaren F1 and McLaren P1.
It is commemorating the 30th anniversary of its win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with two distinctive events at the festival.
The winning F1 GTR will make an appearance on the Hillclimb, driven by JJ Lehto, part of the original winning team.
Additionally, the new 750S Le Mans, a limited edition of 50 units featuring a McLaren Special Operations (MSO) High Downforce Kit, will be introduced to the public.
The track-only Solus GT, known for its 840PS naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine and sub-1,000kg weight, will return to the festival after its Timed Shootout Final win in 2023 and another hillclimb run with Mika Häkkinen last year.
Furthermore, the 750S and Artura MCL38 Celebration Edition supercars, produced in a limited run of nine each, will participate in dynamic runs at Goodwood.
McLaren is also marking ten years of its 'LT' cars, with LT models from the Heritage collection participating in dynamic displays. The 'Celebrate LT' initiative has been engaging the LT owner community globally.
In April this year, Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings completed its acquisition transaction of McLaren’s Automotive business and a non-controlling stake in McLaren’s Racing business.
Last year, McLaren Automotive entered a partnership with Divergent Technologies to develop advanced suspension hardware.
