Summary

In this week's episode of the Autocar podcast My Week In Cars, we drive the McLaren W1 hypercar, the latest Ultimate series car from the Woking carmaker, and only the third McLaren to have a '1' moniker. Meanwhile Mitsubishi returns to the UK, the ZEV mandate looks like being amended, and industry minister Chris McDonald MP talks to us from Lotus's Hethel HQ, from where there is news too. Prior and Cropley also have your letters and chat about the archive. And for details of a special offer which gives you SIX issues of Autocar for just £6, click here. Hosted on Acast.
