McLaren W1 and 750S Le Mans Set for First Public Appearance in the Americas
Car lovers in the Americas will soon get their first close-up look at some of McLaren's most exciting new supercars. The McLaren W1, 750S Le Mans, and a special 'States of Endurance' Artura Spider will all be on display at the Exotics on Broadway event during Monterey Car Week on Saturday, August 16. 'Monterey Car Week is always a special time for us to connect with our community,' said Nicolas Brown, President of McLaren, The Americas. 'We're thrilled to show the McLaren W1 to fans here for the first time. It's a supercar that embodies McLaren's Formula 1 spirit. Alongside the 750S Le Mans and Artura Spider, visitors will be able to see three incredible cars that reflect our racing heritage.' McLaren W1: The Next Chapter in Performance Unveiled globally in October 2024, the McLaren W1 is the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 and P1. It's the fastest-accelerating and fastest-lapping road-legal McLaren ever built, powered by a V8 hybrid engine producing 1,275PS – more than any other McLaren to date. It's quicker than the Speedtail to 300 km/h and three seconds faster per lap than the McLaren Senna on the company's test track. 750S Le Mans: Honoring a Racing Milestone Also debuting in the Americas is the 750S Le Mans, marking 30 years since McLaren's famous 1995 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Inspired by the winning #59 F1 GTR, it comes in Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange, and features a roof scoop, LM wheels, and a McLaren Special Operations High Downforce Kit for improved aerodynamics and track performance. States of Endurance: From Monterey to Miami The event will also kick off 'States of Endurance,' a coast-to-coast tribute to McLaren's Le Mans victory. Three road cars – an Artura Spider and two 750S models – will travel from Monterey to Miami, covering a distance similar to the 24-hour race. Each car will sport a special wrap inspired by different times of day during endurance racing: day, dawn, and night. Car enthusiasts attending Exotics on Broadway can expect to witness a rare gathering of McLaren's past, present, and future – all in one place.

Liverpool set to cut losses with Nunez move to Saudi: reports
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly closing in on a move to Saudi club Al Hilal, which could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Nunez joined the Reds for an initial 75 million euros ($87 million, £65 million) from Benfica three years ago but has failed to live up to that price tag. The Uruguayan has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances but slipped down the pecking order at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. Accord - ing to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal will pay an initial 53 million euros for the 26-year-old. Nunez was likely to play even less this season after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz as part of a 300 million euro spending spree that also includes fullbacks Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the club could still break the British transfer record by signing Isak, with Newcastle reportedly demanding a fee of up to £150 million for the Swedish striker. The sale of Nunez would take Liverpool's income for transfer sales this window t o n e a r l y 200 million euros after the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton.

Wirtz unfazed by huge Liverpool price tag
Florian Wirtz says his huge price tag 'doesn't matter' as he prepares for his first season in the Premier League after a switch to champions Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen. The attacking midfielder arrived at Anfield for an initial £100 million ($132 million) that could rise to £116 million with add-ons, making his move a potential British record. However, speaking after impressing in a 3-2 friendly win over Athletic Bilbao on Monday, the 22-year-old brushed off the size of his transfer fee. 'I don't think about it. I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter,' he said. 'Of course the big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing so (I will) try and just create chances and also work against the ball. 'I can also run a lot so (I will) bring this to the team and then with the ball I can make the team better and bring my teammates into better situations.' Liverpool face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the season-opening Community Shield on Sunday and kick off their Premier League title defence at home to Bournemouth on August 15. Germany international Wirtz said he was relishing the challenge. 'There are some differences to Germany but I think there is also something I can learn and make me better so I am really looking forward to it,' he said. 'It's more intense and more physical, every player is really strong, really fast. That is what everybody is telling me.' Big spenders Liverpool have spent more than £250 million so far in the summer transfer window on a clutch of new players including Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, who also came from Leverkusen, and Giorgi Mamardashvili. The club are understood to have made a bid of around £110 million plus potential add-ons for unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak last week, which was rejected. Manager Arne Slot said after two friendlies against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on Monday that there was 'always room for improvement' despite the club's march to a record-equalling 20th league title last season. 'We've added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons,' said the Dutchman. 'So, Florian has a lot of creativity in the final third. We've lost with Trent (Alexander-Arnold, who has signed for Real Madrid) a lot of creativity from the back. 'Trent's crosses and picking out runners was so special -– I think Flo has this quality as well in a totally different position.' Liverpool paid tribute to late forward Diogo Jota in their first matches at Anfield since the forward and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain last month. Slot said in his programme notes that it had been a 'tough time for everyone connected with the club, but especially for Diogo's family, his wife, his children and friends'. 'We cannot imagine the pain that they have been going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward,' he wrote. 'We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.'
