      I agree W Motors appreciate what Casey and Genius Garage were doing and took enough interest to know the students by name and what each student did. Thank you W Motors for your interest and wonderful experience you gave Casey. I hope to see the Genius Garage Lykan out of the body shop soon and driving. In time I see more development happening.
      Thanks Casey and you great students for making a mock up into a real car.

    The Casey/W motors saga has made W Motors maybe my favorite manufacturer. The fact that W Motors didn’t pull a Ferrari and try to attack Genius Garage for the build was the first pleasant surprise. Then seeing that they were happy to provide some assistance and followed the build was even more impressive. Now choosing to give this rare opportunity to, I say this respectfully as someone with zero followers, a rather small channel based on the fact that he probably would get more from the experience than anyone has me sold on the company. That’s a really awesome story and a really awesome company.

      I have lost respect for Ferrari and even Mr. Ferrari himself. He was a really egotistical bastard. He treated one customer so badly that the customer promised him he would regret it. The angry customer's name? Ferrucio Lamborghini. And not only that, he fired a lot of workers and Mr. Lamborghini gave them a job. I heard the team is doing terribly in Formula One now. I couldn't care one bit. Schumacher and Raikkonen did the work for them. They didn't know what the hell they were doing before those two came along. Last I heard, they put the wrong tires on Leclerc's car twice -- in the SAME race!

    I hate this video because it may be the closest you'd get to an indept and accurate review, but at the same time this guy was literally given one of the greatest honors by being invited to drive this thing. You know he's gonna thread softly when speaking about the negatives of the car, and may or may not be the best explained, because even if they don't tell him directly to not talk too much negative about the car (I don't think they did anyway), he's still gonna feel guilty if he were to expose something bad about it.

    I had a somewhat similar experience in Cyprus. My mom wanted to see Mount Olympus and I rented a shitty SEAT to do that. Sightseeing over, I headed North and found a rugged mountain road devoid of traffic, so set about hammering that course. I had a few white-knuckle moments and Mom was speechless in fear as I took blind corners fast enough that plunging a thousand feet to our certain death was a thrill. Finally got down to flat ground and hit Nicosia for the sights, then back to the hotel in Limassol (the Royal Appolonia) - great hotel and coming back in, hit a speed bump that was not painted. The rear view mirror had obviously had enough, detached from the windshield and landed in the back seat.. I had to pull over b/c I was laughing so hard!

But it’s a public road popular with bicycle riders so you need to be mindful not to hurt anyone of course.

      Even Chris Harris has drifted the hell out of the La Ferrari when asked to not do so by the maker, so that granny driving of the Lykan doesn't show anything from the car performances. Till then, it's just vaporware.
      Pagani and Koenigsegg also shown prototypes in the past and they were beaten to hell by in house test drivers and the guest on the passenger seat, so its pretty obvious W motors don't want (or can't) show anything to support what they are claiming.
