McLaren W1 spotted undisguised at Circuit de Catalunya in Spain

A McLaren W1 was recently spotted in Spain. The hypercar was captured on camera by @acidcarss at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which is the home of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix.

Now, we’ve seen prototypes of the W1 testing on public roads before. However, this one looks different. Considering it is a pre-production test mule, the car isn’t covered in camouflage like the prototypes that were spotted earlier. It is also fitted with the same set of multi-spoke wheels that were seen in the Arctic testing video.

The W1 is the most powerful road car ever made by McLaren. It uses an all-new 4.0-liter V8 hybrid powertrain that produces 1258 hp and 988 lb-ft of torque. The engine revs to 9200 rpm, which is the highest among all McLaren road car powertrains.

The W1 weighs just 1399 kg and has a power-to-weight ratio of 911 PS per tonne. McLaren claims the W1 can sprint from 0-124 mph in just 5.8 seconds.
