Welcome back everybody :). The car of the week is the Lykan Hypersport. This luxury car is assuredly a car for the times. It looks extremely tough, thanks to layered surfacing treatments that create the impression of an armored vehicle. The scissor doors are wild, but nothing compared to the rear fender. This is the most brutal part of the design, with the fender flaring out wildly from the bodywork The powertrain of this car is one of its most special features. The Lykan is powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged boxer six crate motor from the German tuner, RUF, creating 750 horsepower and 750 pound-feet of torque. The RUF and Magna parts bolt securely on the Lykan Hypersport’s carbon tub to create the world’s ultimate rat-rod Porsche. W Motors quotes a 0-to-60-mph time of 2.8 seconds, topping out at a claimed 245 mph. The W Motors Lykan Hypersport is priced at $3.4 million and will not be sold in the US or western Europe. (I think this is one of the main reasons why I never heard of it). The Lykan might be painted white like a sheep, but make no mistake: this is a wolf of a car. Building on RUF’s high-speed experience and mechanicals, and Magna Steyr Torino styling and interior, the W Motors Lykan Hypersport looks like a small winner in the supercar world.
Production versions of hypercars with pricing above $3,000,000 are generally a pretty rare sight.
That will be the case with the W Motors Lykan, of which the company plans to build only ten copies before moving on to a Lykan Targa or cheaper Lykan SuperSport models. So, I did not find a lot of info about the engine (sorry about that) so this is it. good bye everyone.
