- New McLaren W1 to star in Forza Horizon 6 as part of British Automotive Series update for Microsoft Xbox’s flagship racing title
- The McLaren W1 will be available in game from 10 September for all players owning the Car Pass downloadable content pack
Forza Horizon 6 players will soon be able to own and drive the latest car in McLaren’s ‘1’ car linage in-game, as the McLaren W1 joins the action on 10 September.
Introduced to players as part of the British Automotive Series update for the title, the car will be exclusively available to those who have purchased the Car Pass downloadable content (DLC) pack, and added directly to their in-game garage as part of the latest release of vehicles for this DLC.
This latest addition to the in-game line-up expands McLaren’s extensive presence throughout the Forza catalogue. The W1 joins the legendary McLaren F1 and McLaren P1TM – the latter being the cover star of 2013’s Forza Motorsport 5 title – in game as ‘Legendary’ level vehicles. It is one of 13 McLaren vehicles gamers can experience, own, and customise in the in-game world, and joins the McLaren Artura as a current production McLaren available to players.
The McLaren W1 is the ground-breaking successor to two of the world’s greatest and most iconic supercars, the McLaren F1 and McLaren P1TM, and it represents the ultimate expression of McLaren’s core performance principles.
Created to deliver class-defining performance, W1 delivers sensational power, cutting-edge aerodynamics and the latest lightweight chassis technologies. The result is a supercar that delivers the highest levels of dynamic excellence and the purest driver connection.
