The Lykan Hypersport is a limited produced supercar by W Motors, a Lebanese based company founded in 2012. It is the first super car to be produced in the Middle East. W Motors plans to only produce seven units of the car. The first pre-production Lykan HyperSport was launched at the International Dubai Motor Show in November 2013.
Entering the cabin is done via a pair of suicide-style doors, a first on a supercar, and inside owners will find the aforementioned holographic display system as well as premium materials such as carbon fiber, titanium and precious stones. Owners will also receive a Cyrus Klepcys watch, said to be valued at around $200,000.
At US$3.4 million, the Lykan Hypersport is the second most expensive car to ever be made, behind only the very limited (four created, three sold) Lamboghini Veneno at US$4.5 million. As reference, the Lykan Hypersport is over US$1 million more expensive than the Bugatti Veyron Supersport, which holds the title of most expensive production car in the world.
The cause of the car's expensive price tag is due to its included options. It is the first car to have diamonds in its headlights. The front lights are made up of titanium LED blades with 420 diamonds (15cts).The buyer can choose which rubies and diamonds they want embedded in the headlights. In addition, the client can choose between a selection of rubies, diamonds, yellow diamonds, or sapphires to be integrated into the vehicle at purchase. The Lykan is available in Lykan White, Royal Red, Royal Blue or Black.
The Lykan Hypersport is powered by a flat-six 3.7-litre (3746 cc) engine, producing 740 bhp (552 kW; 750 PS) and 960 Nm of torque. The car is claimed to have a top speed of 240 mph (386.2 km/h) and accelerate to 0-62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds.
Two versions of the car are being developed: the range-topping Lykan Hypersport you see here and a slightly tamer Lykan Supersport. Both are based on a bespoke platform and feature a turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six engine developed by famous Porsche tuner RUF. The Lykan Hypersport will develop as much as 750 horsepower and is said to be capable of accelerating to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 245 mph.
For that kind of money, you not only get a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, placed in the middle, that develops up to 750 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, which W Motors says is enough to accelerate the car from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 245 mph, but also it has been designed to incorporate jewels and precious metals in its construction, diamond-coated LED lights, gold-stitched leather seats and advanced technologies . including an interactive holographic display system, in its cabin. The customer will also enjoy a 24-hour global concierge service. The body is composed mostly of carbon fiber, is constructed in Italy along with its lavish interior.
