All-new 4.0L twin-turbo flat-plane V8 (MHP-8) + F1-derived hybrid module; combined 1,275 PS / 1,340 Nm (engine 928 PS/800 Nm + motor 347 PS/540 Nm); 8-speed DCT (E-Reverse); 0–100 km/h 2.7 s, 0–200 km/h 5.8 s, 0–300 km/h 11.7 s; electronically limited 350 km/h; dry weight 1,399 kg, power-to-weight 911 PS/tonne (McLaren all-time high); 62L tank, EV range <2 km, ultimate performance focus. For buyers considering the McLaren W1, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
