McLaren W1 Spider could be maker’s first Ultimate drop-top
The brand-new McLaren W1 – the successor to the F1 and P1 – has just been revealed, along with confirmation that just 399 will be built and all are accounted for. Those with the necessary £2 million-plus needn’t be disappointed, however, as more models might be on the way.

New McLaren W1 is a landmark £2m hybrid hypercar with 1,285bhp

They have been together before of course, most notably and recently at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting in the spring, but never for a purpose like this.
