Lykan Hypersport

Image
When Ralph R Debbas founded W Motors in Beirut with Sari El Kahalil in July 2012, he wanted to create the world's most expensive, luxurious, and exclusive car. Well he’s made a fair fist of it with the Lykan Hypersport, which has been unveiled at the 2013 Qatar Motor Show. W Motors will limit numbers of the car, which it heralds as “the first Arabian hypercar,” to just seven, each priced from US$3.4 million. W Motors, which is now based in Dubai, is claiming performance figures that put the rear-wheel-drive Lykan Hypersport in the same league as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports. Powered by a mid-rear positioned, twin turbocharged flat-six engine generating 750 horsepower, W Motors says the car can go from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in a neck-snapping 2.8 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 395 km/h (245 mph). But the exorbitant price tag isn’t just due to the car’s claimed performance. Sure to dazzle oncoming traffic, the LED headlights feature white gold surrounds encrusted with ...

As a further highlight of its 50th anniversary year, Automobili Lamborghini is presenting one of the most exceptional super sports cars of all time. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is an open racing prototype with an extreme design and breathtaking performance. And it is one of the world's most exclusive automobiles -- not more than nine units will be built during the course of 2019and sold at a price of 4.5 million Euros. The Veneno Roadster is extreme and guarantees an intense driving experience -- because open means truly open. There is no roof, just a strong rollover bar for optimum safety. The design is focused on optimum aerodynamics and stability through fast corners -- with handling akin to that of a racing prototype. Yet it is fully road legal. With a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp, the Veneno Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and top speed stands at 355 km/h. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is driven by a twelve-cylinder engine with ...

Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

Floyd Mayweather is in the headlines these days for his upcoming  boxing match with MMA fighter Conor McGregor. However, when he isn't busy inside the boxing ring, he can likely be found rearranging his collection of high-profile supercars. By rearranging, we mean selling incredibly rare cars to make room for new ones. Mecum has officially consigned Mayweather's Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita after months of speculation that the boxer would sell his prized-Swedish supercar. The fact this car is hitting the market is a big deal because only two CCXR Trevitas were built and this one is specced to be street legal in the United States. The "Trevita" name is Swedish for "three whites," which references the Koenigsegg's special diamond-weave, carbon-fiber bodywork. As for power, the CCXR Trevita isn't short on it as 1,018 horsepower is delivered from a twin-supercharged 4.8-liter V-8. All 1,018 ponies are sent through Koenigsegg's own Xtrac Supe...
