Lykan Hypersport: World’s Most Expensive Car
by Barry Ritholtz - March 24th, 2013, 6:30am

Revealed at this year’s Dubai International Boat Show, the Lykan HyperSport 2013 (from W Motors) is the world’s most expensive car absurdly priced at $3.4 million dollars.

Only 7 will be made, all manufactured in Dubai — the first Arabian supercar

• mid-engine twin turbo flat-six (built by RUF)
• 750 HP.
• 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds
• Top speed 395 km/h.
• Only 7 units to ever be made.
• $3.4 million USD.

i actually like something u posted
as overpriced as it is, it's probably sold out

dared3vil0 04-23-2013 12:43 AM

395kmh? I highly doubt it. That's just under 250mph.

westopher 04-23-2013 12:59 AM

I'll take a bugatti, a murcialago, 2 e30 m3s, a singer 911, a yellow bird, a 355 f1, and maybe a few odds and ends for them instead please. It looks like a 3.4 million dollar stormtrooper helmet on wheels.

how does the door open?

Looks like a LFA and Lambo rip off

It's one of those designs that I'm sure looks fantastic as a drawing, but when made real... it just doesn't translate as well. The pinched mid-rift just makes it look really weird. Well, so does the rest of the design.

I seriously doubt the 395km/hr claim, however. Not enough power and it doesn't look like it has a terribly great drag coefficient.

Headlights look slightly Arashed. I wonder what the molds were made out of... :fullofwin:

I'd rather buy 10 Aventadors than a car that sounds like something growing on a rock.:D

pastarocket 04-23-2013 09:33 AM

Yeah, it does look like a storm trooper. For 3.4 million, you're not getting the force from Star Wars with that ride.

I'd buy an Aventador, a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, a Koenigsegg Agera, and a Pagani Zonda for that amount of money instead.

Isn't the maybach exelero more expensive or that new lambo?? Maybe I'm wrong...


kwy 04-23-2013 09:41 AM

The only splash this thing will ever make will be price tag wise.

smoothie. 04-23-2013 09:51 AM

Maybe 395 is the redline of the last gear, when the car is in the air?

looks like a cross between a LFA x FRS x r8

Timpo 04-23-2013 12:33 PM

why do people doubt 395km/h?

look at McLaren F1, 627hp, 391km/h

Because there is no video or any proof it does it. Just a claim.

Gumpert Apollo, one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars does not look very smooth either

very nice, but my pick still goes to the McLaren F1=)

shenmecar 04-23-2013 08:45 PM

What makes it so expensive? The fact that it was designed in Dubai for rich people who lives in Dubai?

Its a relatively new company that thinks it can capture the world's attention by putting a stupidly high price tag on their first car. I think the Top Gear (UK) crew will hate it.
