A new supercar is brewing in the Middle East, one that will set some
hard to beat benchmarks, not only in terms of performance and technology
but also in price and exclusivity. We are, of course, talking about the
upcoming Lykan Hypersport from supercar startup W Motors.
Today, the company announced that the Lykan Hypersport, which will
retail for a staggering $3.69 million and be built in an exclusive run
of just seven units, will feature rear-opening ‘suicide’ doors.
These latest renderings show how the doors will look when fully
extended and reveal a design not seen on any other supercar currently in
production. Rolls-Royce’s Phantom Coupe features a similar door design
but these don’t angle upwards like on the Lykan Hypersport.
W Motors has also confirmed that the production version of the Lykan
Hypersport will be shown for the first time at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show
in November. A concept version was shown earlier this year at the 2013
Qatar Motor Show.
Two versions of the car are being developed: the range-topping Lykan
Hypersport you see here and a slightly tamer Lykan Supersport. Both will
be built on a bespoke platform and feature a turbocharged flat-six
engine developed by famous Porsche
tuner RUF. The Lykan Hypersport will develop as much as 560 kilowatts
and is said to be capable of accelerating to 100km/h in approximately
2.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of 394km/h.
To justify its lofty pricetag, the Lykan Hypersport has been designed
to incorporate jewels and precious metals in its construction and
advanced technologies, including an interactive holographic display
system, in its cabin.
If you were just itching to drop $3.69 million on one of the seven
examples W Motors will be building, we hear all the cars have already
been accounted for. Fortunately, given that success, we’re sure the
company will launch a followup.
