    The W Motors Lykan Hypersport landed a starring role in Furious 7 as a locked up "beast in a cage." What was weird about that, is that most people had never heard of the Lykan Hypersport before that. What was this strange supercar, and was it worthy of the praise Dom and Brian gave it? We looked into it, and the story behind W Motors and the Lykan Hypersport is deeper, and more eye opening than I ever imagined.

    And I think another part of its misconception as a hypercar, is being called the HYPERSPORT. It lays its cards down immediately for anyone who’s heard it’s name. I think swapping the fenyr and it’s names would have aided in the misperception issue.

    • @ShaggyRogers1
      @ShaggyRogers1 28 дней назад

      Exactly. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it was just meant to be a status symbol. However, the name itself clearly implies that they want to market it to the hyper car crowd, and it just isn't a hyper car.

    The Lykan Hypersport used a Ruf frame, the CTR 3 used the same frame, chassis and presumably transmission as the Lykan, which was a collaborative process, apparently. I've got no clue about the engine in it though. I doubt Ruf sold them a CTR 3 clone, the stats are certainly different. I'd rather have the experience and expertise evident in the ctr3.
    As far as I'm aware most of the value was in the headlight gems lol. Stupid car, for flashy bastards. Just buy one of the handful of CTR3's instead. Those are definitely real, much cheaper and plenty fast enough ;D

      Pretty sure you're getting confused here.
      Nolan just says that the lykan fits the bill for a luxury status supercar, but as a supercar it more often than not feels pretty regular as almost nothing about it is particularly special.
      Sure it's "1/7" cars but not many people are into the brand because they arent a "car" brand in the normal sense.
      Porsche is known for rear engine rwd boxer cars, lambo is known for their angular wedge vertical doors and v12, while ferrari is known for smooth lines also v12's and F1.
      W motors is just... W motors? Sure its a legit brand but it doesnt have the touch or magic of what made the rest distinct.
      Its just known because FnF made it seem like a godsend when in reality its usually beat by even modern sports cars in the same time. ( There are no records of any Lykan going as fast as manufacturer claims, sure its running but thats about it, Im willing to bet it even is slower than your average run of the mill r35 gtr which released around those times as well. Usually when a car is this dodgy about claims, you can bet your money they cant back it up.

      In Saudi Arabia, road signs often include both the Western Arabic, and Eastern Arabic numerals.
      Actually, the current Arabic written language has changed somewhat since the Qur'an was transcribed, meaning that Modern Arabic writing did not exist prior to Islam.
      "The Qur'an was written without diacritical marks. At the time of Muhammad, Arabic orthography was yet to develop into what we have known for centuries. There was no distinction between letters of the Arabic alphabets of similar shape and there were no vowel marks. There were no dots above or below the letters either. For the interpreters who added diacritical marks, to read the Qur'an as it was originally written, would lead the reader to interpret and choose for themselves from the many possible meanings available in the Arabic without diacritical marks."

      @@bullhornzz I mean it’s not like W motors is building their own powertrain and transmission. It’s literally a CTR3 with a body kit at WORST. Who knows what improvements they would’ve made in the time in between the releases of both cars.

    This is basically the same story on Devel sixteen. hypercar from middle east, has appeared to have "very fast speeds and is being reviewed too many times" but doesn't really show the actual footage of the car going on the speed it was claimed.

    Yup, this one and the Devel Sixteen. The best Paperweights ever developed. The amount of R and D to make a paperweight evoke such feelings and feeling so evoked that one could only hope to catch a glimmer of provocation so profound that only the finest will ever experience. Simply beautiful.

      Well the Devel sixteen was actually a scam. The production i canceled. They just put out empty words like «5000 hp engine» 0-60 under 2 sec etc. They never got anywhere other than 2 prototype cars, thats it.

      Not even Arab beauties. The devel concept car had its blueprints made in Italy, and engine in the USA. The Lykan on the other hand was designed by a European who happens to live in the UAE, its parts sourced from RUF in Germany, and was assembled in Italy. Only Arabic thing about them are the badges.
      Its like the kid who did nothing on the school group project taking all the credit.

    It's not a beast in a cage. It's just a pretty pony that overheats if you drive it too long. I'm sure it's performance would be overstated too. I'm sure if it did a 0 - 100 test, it would be lousy and borderline embarrassing, but what do you expect when you have components made of gold within it? Gold is pretty much the heaviest metal there is, and very malleable, so it's probably 1 of a number of things in this car that will only slow you down.
    It's just a status symbol car. It's just a mimic like how some mantis flies look cooler than wasps, but wasps still rule.
