McLaren W1 production is in full swing, and the first customer cars are expected to be delivered soon. Images from the factory reveal two W1 hypercars at the end of the assembly line.

The first of the two W1s is VIN 180, featuring a Crystal Blue exposed carbon fibre bodywork and a black interior. It is fitted with matte black wheels paired with black brake calipers.

The second car is a VIN 068 finished in MSO Carbon Tarocco – a two-tone colour scheme of orange and black. The wheels on this one have a two-tone finish, while the brake calipers appear to be painted black.

Both cars have been commissioned by McLaren Fukuoka. The W1 in blue carbon is headed to Japan, while the two-tone MSO spec will be shipped to Taiwan.

The McLaren W1 is based on a carbon fibre monocoque, just like its predecessor, the P1. It is powered by an all-new 4.0-litre V8 engine paired with a hybrid system, producing 1,258 hp and 988 lb-ft of torque. The car weighs just 1399 kg, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 911 PS per tonne. It can sprint from 0 to 124 mph in 5.8 seconds.
