Dubai-based W Motors' LykanHypersport 2013, the first hypercar designed in the Middle East, attracted its first buyer on the first public day of the show. With a flat 6, twin-turbo,750 horsepower engine delivering 1000 NM of torque takes the vehicle from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.8 seconds to reach the break neck maximum speed of 390 kilometers per hour. Diamond-encrusted LED front lights and other details to styling make this one of the most luxurious cars ever designed.
The car is priced at 3.5 million dollars (nearly 13 million Qatari riyals), with the new owner also walking away with a Special Edition Cyrus Klepcy Watch, worth over 200,000 US dollars (almost 730,000 Qatari riyals). Six more of these engineering marvels are left, so it's not too late to pick your own!
In addition, Brabus, a high-performance aftermarket tuning company, chose the 2013 Qatar Motor Show to unveil its latest model, the BrabusWidestar 800, based on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG.
