The W Motors Lykan HyperSport is not just a car but a symbol of unique automotive art. This model was first introduced in 2013 as an exclusive first-generation supercar, Gen 1. The design and engineering prowess come from Ralph R. Debbas and Anthony Jannarelly. The car was developed by the Lebanese company W Motors and stands out for its distinctive lines, high-tech integrations, and its limitation to only seven units worldwide. The W Motors Lykan HyperSport is equipped with a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine developed by RUF Automobile GmbH, a renowned German manufacturer founded in 1939, delivering an impressive 780 horsepower. The top speed is 395 km/h (245 mph), and the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds.
For collectors, the scale model of the W Motors Lykan HyperSport in 1/18 scale, produced by Top Marques Collectibles, is a real highlight. The model is made of high-quality resin and delights with its precise and accurate reproduction. In the photos by Modelly member "Andy," it is clear how meticulously the shapes and lines of the original were captured. The sharp edges that perfectly represent the sporty and futuristic design of the masterpiece are particularly striking.
The W Motors Lykan HyperSport became renowned not only for its performance but also for its extravagant features. From the highly advanced holographic displays in the cockpit to LED headlights encrusted with diamonds. The car features scissor doors and an aggressive front end that immediately catches the eye. Another notable technological marvel is the integration of carbon fiber elements on several parts of the vehicle to save weight while increasing aerodynamic efficiency. Fredrick Aeschlimann played a crucial role as the chief engineer in shaping and fine-tuning the super sporty DNA of this car.
The 1/18 scale model stands out for its special and eye-catching paint job in a vibrant red with metallic effect. The black rims harmoniously blend into the overall design, emphasizing the vehicle's sporty character.
