The 2013 Qatar Motor Show opens to the public this afternoon at the Doha Exhibition Center, featuring the latest rides from Europe, Asia, North America, and for the first time, an Arab supercar.
UAE-based W Motors is launching its first model, the Lykan Hypersport, choosing Qatar for its world premiere.“Qatar is a perfect place to launch it because it’s a country that loves what we’re doing,” W Motors co-founder Sari El Khalil told Doha News.
El Khalil says although the company is new, he expects the $3.4 million (QR12.4 million) hypercar to gain traction as its partners are world-renowned.
The Lykan’s 750-horsepower engine is built in Germany, and the diamond, gold and platinum crusted interiors and body are crafted in Italy. While the first car is currently going into production, only seven will be produced overall.
“We are choosing our customers carefully,” El Khalil said. “It’s the first Arab car, we want Arabs driving our car. We’ve gotten interest from India, we’ve gotten interest from Moscow, we’ve gotten interest from China.”
