W Motors Is Launching A Race Car

When reading this article's headline, your first question was probably not ‘’what will W Motors' race car look like?’’ but ‘’who is W Motors?’’. I can’t blame you, the smart Lebanese firm has had very little exposure and they just launched their very first car, the Lykan Hypersport. In case you were wondering, it’s a supercar sold for 3.4 million dollars and powered by a Porsche flat-six engine developing 770 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. According to the manufacturer, the car can get from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

The Lykan Hypersport is now complete, and the brand can now concentrate on building their next car, the Supersport (because, in Lykan’s book, Super comes after Hyper).

Now, W Motors has announced a race car. We don’t know much about it so far, but the manufacturer already announced that it would use a non-fossil fuel powerplant. They have already named the car the Lykan Supersport HSF, where HSF stands for Hybrid Synthetic Fuel, so we can expect some sort of hybrid drivetrain as well. The builders also announced that their car would deliver more than 1,000 horsepower.

As for the ‘’regular’’ Lykan Supersport, it should be launched in the coming year.
