The First Arab Supercar Costs $3.4 Million And Has Diamond-Encrusted LEDs

Next week, W Motors, based in Beirut, will reveal the Arab world's first homegrown supercar: The outrageous LykanHypersport 2013.

The oddly-named vehicle will make its debut at the Qatar Motor Show, starting January 29.

On top of impressive power figures — 750 brake horsepower, good enough to go from 0 to 62 mph in a blazing 2.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 242 mph — it is loaded with luxuries.

The LykanHypersport's LED lights are diamond-encrusted. The leather interior features gold stitching. The display system used 3D holograms.

For those willing to spend the $3.4 million to purchase one, the Lykan also comes with a 24-hour concierge service, and a Special Edition Cyrus Klepcys Watch, worth more than $200,000.

The LykanHypersport will be fully revealed at the Qatar Motor Show. It will certainly be expensive and luxurious. But whether it can really compete with established supercar makers remains to be seen.

It will take something great to move wealthy Arab drivers with millions to spend on cars away from classic greats, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, and Bugatti.

But even for potential owners with the cash, the new supercar will be hard to get: Only seven will be produced. Deliveries are scheduled for September.

I couldn't tell from the pics and didn't see it in the specs... Does it have a receiver hitch to pull a boat?

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

no but i have heard possible issues with the throttle pedal sticking and them accidently driving threw US government buildings.

 

[braceysdad]

no .

I'm out then...

[gunnar]

I hope it can drive on two wheels, most arabs demand that feature nowadays.:ror:

 

[dkf]

Better come with at least 70 virgins for that price.:ror:

 

[badhoopty]

please lord please please let top gear test one.
i would love to see what jeremy clarkson would have to say...

 

[DUDE]

I see a lot of Lambo like designs in that, full retard, nice. "thumbsup"

 

[4VRYNG]

Ugly and stupid useless details for a "Super" car. I'd buy a Veyron at 1/2 the price before I ever bought that Ugly ass thing.

 

[ROWDY RACING]

I was expecting a tricked out magic carpet. :evil:

 

[scottanthony]

Looks like a re-designed Camel with a rocket in its ass...

 

[scottanthony]

Better come with at least 70 virgins for that price.:ror:

Even at 70 virgins you'd have to throw in some Rupies to cover Doc and Dealer Fees.

But does it have a flux capatior that generates 1.21 giggawatts @ 88 mph? I would also settle for a Mr fusion mounted on the back but still needs to have 1.21 giggawatts

 

[Duuuuuuuude]

Other than the way-over-the-top bling, I like it. "thumbsup"

 

[Krakker]

They've got 2 other interesting paint colors:
Oil Black, and Gold on Gold I'm so F'n rich.

I heard they had a sand camo version but lost it somewhere during a test drive so they've discontinued that color.

 

[Hunter711]

How many BEC's do I need? And how do I hook them up? :???:

 

[C*H*U*D]

Looks like a Transformer.

 

[krawlfreak]

i would put a ski rack on it and park it in the snow overnight...

 

[darkmanx]

I keep watching the red one waiting to see if it Iron man climbs out of it!
