W
Motors New Fenyr Supersport
Arabian supercar marque
W Motors shocked the world when it first announced plans for a car with a price
tag of US$ 3.4 million. The car was the Lykan Hypersport, and its production run
would total just seven cars. It now appears all of them have been built and
sold as W Motors is ready to bring us a new model.
The company has started
teasing a model called the Fenyr Supersport and confirmed the unveiling will
take place at next week’s 2015 Dubai Motor Show. From the teaser shots, it’s
clear the Fenyr Supersport will feature the same edgy design as the Lykan
Hypersport.
The Fenyr Supersport
won’t be as exclusive as its predecessor but W Motors promises to lift the
performance bar higher. In case you’ve forgotten, the Lykan Hypersport came
with 770 horsepower, could hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of
around 245 mph.
W Motors first showed
us a model called the Supersport back in 2013. At the time, the company said
the car would cost around US$ 1.6 million, produce as much as 1,000 horsepower and
weigh in at less than 2,650 pounds. Production of this model was said to be
capped at 25 units but a track-only version is also expected.
It’s likely the design
and specifications have changed since then but we’ll have all the details soon
as this year’s Dubai Motor Show gets underway November 10.
