With a voracious appetite for all kinds of super cars and plenty of wealth to sustain it thanks to its oil-rich real estate, it shouldn't come to as a surprise that the Arab world has finally managed to produce its own hyper car in the guise of W Motors's Lykan Hypersport, which was introduced at this week's Qatar Motor Show.
The motivation to create a world-beating supercar is easy to understand. As seen by the success ofKoenigsegg
So, is this Lykan set to stalk its prey in the form of Lamborghinis, Paganis and Bugattis like its mythical namesake does? Or will this simply be another drop in the bucket of failed attempts at infiltrating the supercar market? Only time will tell

The Lykan Hypersport comes with a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine (likely sourced from Porsche) with 750-horsepower positioned behind the driver and can reach 100km/h (62mph) in 2.8 seconds before topping out at 395km/h (245mph) – yep, you're not the only one thinking about 'hagwalah' right now…
INTERIOR:
The interior of this car is one of its more vapor-esque features. Does it exist outside a computer? From these images, the answer is ‘not yet.’ The mock-ups are pretty impressive, nonetheless. They show sophisticated shapes, materials and technology.

Atop the slim one-piece carbon seats there are individual leather pads spaced about a half inch apart. The steering wheel is draped with thick racing Alcantara near the 9 o’ clock and 3 o’ clock positions.
COMPETITION:
The competition for Lykan includes hypercar legends like Ferrari, McLaren, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Due to its unknown weight figures and “only” 750 horsepower, it looks outmatched by the Veyron and Veneno. Luckily, RUF is a tuner at its core, meaning outputs in the 1,250-horepower range are plausible.
