Fenyr SuperSport Arrives With 900 HP, Begs for Spot in Next Fast & Furious Movie
If Fast and Furious 8 didn’t have its star car picked, it does now.
Move over Lykan HyperSport because W Motors has debuted something even hotter at the 2015 Dubai Motor Show. Limited to just 25 units per year, the Fenyr SuperSport blends a carbon fiber body with advanced aerodynamics and aggressive styling that the automaker has become famous for with the Lykan HyperSport, which had a starring role in an over-the-top Furious 7 chase scene.
Powering the Fenyr is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six mid-rear engine produced by RUF Automobile in Germany, paired to a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox. In total, the powerplant delivers 900 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque.

According to W Motors, the Fenyr SuperSport goes zero to 62 mph in less than 2.7 seconds and has a top speed more than 248 mph. The carbon fiber body is complemented by a lightweight tubular aluminum chassis.
Production of the hypercar will be handled by partner Magna Steyr Italy, but now that W Motors has established its headquarters in Dubai, it hopes to shift production to the United Arab Emirates. The company didn’t release pricing on the Fenyr SuperSport, but considering the Lykan HyperSport runs $3.4 million, don’t expect the Fenyr to be any less.
