Last year McLaren Automotive revealed the next instalment in its '1' hypercar series, and it will be the most powerful road-legal model the hallowed British auto brand has ever made.

The McLaren W1 follows the legendary F1 and the modern P1 in serving as the absolute pinnacle of the brand's lineup, boasting an all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 that revs all the way to 9200rpm and is said to be good for 683kW of power and 900Nm of torque on its own.

It's teamed with a motorsport-sourced plug-in hybrid system that adds 255kW and 440Nm for stratospheric combined outputs of 938kW/1340Nm, making it the most powerful road car McLaren has ever produced, sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
