Last summer brought word that the Middle East was finally getting its own homegrown supercars in the form of two all-new vehicles – the Hypersport and Supersport – from W Motors. Now, just weeks after its official debut at the 2013 Qatar Motor Show, we are learning more details about its initial release, aptly called the Lykan Hypersport.

Its appearance is radical (looking a bit as if it were penned by Lamborghini), but it more than substantiates its performance. According to the automaker, the Hypersport will boast a twin-turbo flat-six generating about 750 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. The mid-mounted engine will propel the Arab supercar to 60 miles per hour in a blistering 2.7 seconds as it heads towards a top speed of 245 mph.

W Motors has reportedly already taken over 100 orders for the two-seater that will initially be assembled in Italy (production will move to the Middle East later). Before you reach for your checkbook, keep in mind that the list price on the Hypersport is a very Middle East-like $3.4 million. Yes, each.

I wonder if they're modifying a 911 Turbo or Cayman. I'd imagine they're borrowing at least a Porsche engine as crank-duty.

Rumor has it it'll have a gold-plated hood and diamonds in its taillights.... They sure like bling in the middle east

Basically just an Italian-kitted Porsche. With heavy design influence from the Aventador, the R8 and the LFA. Not sure why this is worth almost 10 times the price of the LFA.

Its worth that much because they are going to use diamonds in the headlights and such.

I also wouldn't doubt the price is a little inflated because they know middle-easterners would buy this car no matter the price to because it came from the middle east

That was my line of thought too. Just to say it sold well, built by us for us mentality.

100 orders for a car they said was to be limited to a production run of just 7??

It's designed by the Middle East for the Middle East. That alone means many people from that region would put in an order - not even counting guaranteed orders from nepotism. It's part of the culture of that region.
