    The W Motors Lykan Hypersport landed a starring role in Furious 7 as a locked up "beast in a cage." What was weird about that, is that most people had never heard of the Lykan Hypersport before that. What was this strange supercar, and was it worthy of the praise Dom and Brian gave it? We looked into it, and the story behind W Motors and the Lykan Hypersport is deeper, and more eye opening than I ever imagined.

    And I think another part of its misconception as a hypercar, is being called the HYPERSPORT. It lays its cards down immediately for anyone who’s heard it’s name. I think swapping the fenyr and it’s names would have aided in the misperception issue.

    • @ShaggyRogers1

      Exactly. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it was just meant to be a status symbol. However, the name itself clearly implies that they want to market it to the hyper car crowd, and it just isn't a hyper car.

      @@ihlasschwarzenegger6680 I'm talking about the numeral systems that are currently used in the world today, not the language. Roman numerals exist outside of the dead language of Latin.
      In Saudi Arabia, road signs often include both the Western Arabic, and Eastern Arabic numerals.
      Actually, the current Arabic written language has changed somewhat since the Qur'an was transcribed, meaning that Modern Arabic writing did not exist prior to Islam.
      "The Qur'an was written without diacritical marks. At the time of Muhammad, Arabic orthography was yet to develop into what we have known for centuries. There was no distinction between letters of the Arabic alphabets of similar shape and there were no vowel marks. There were no dots above or below the letters either. For the interpreters who added diacritical marks, to read the Qur'an as it was originally written, would lead the reader to interpret and choose for themselves from the many possible meanings available in the Arabic without diacritical marks."

      Pretty sure you're getting confused here.
      Nolan just says that the lykan fits the bill for a luxury status supercar, but as a supercar it more often than not feels pretty regular as almost nothing about it is particularly special.
      Sure it's "1/7" cars but not many people are into the brand because they arent a "car" brand in the normal sense.
      Porsche is known for rear engine rwd boxer cars, lambo is known for their angular wedge vertical doors and v12, while ferrari is known for smooth lines also v12's and F1.
      W motors is just... W motors? Sure its a legit brand but it doesnt have the touch or magic of what made the rest distinct.
      Its just known because FnF made it seem like a godsend when in reality its usually beat by even modern sports cars in the same time. ( There are no records of any Lykan going as fast as manufacturer claims, sure its running but thats about it, Im willing to bet it even is slower than your average run of the mill r35 gtr which released around those times as well. Usually when a car is this dodgy about claims, you can bet your money they cant back it up.
