What can possibly justify a price like that, you might ask. Well, let's start with the sensational diamond-encrusted LED headlights, shall we? Then perhaps we could mention the gold-plated hood and gold stitching to the leather seats. Of course, with the entire body being constructed from carbon fibre and similarly high-tech lightweight materials, I suppose it would be foolish to use anything else, wouldn't it? The Lykan Hypersport really is something else to look at too, with its striking razor-sharp lines bringing to mind the greatest creations of Lamborghini and Ferarri, yet retaining an identity that is uniquely the Lykan's own. What's more, with the mid-ship situated flat-six engine provided by RUF, the company famous for its custom Porsches, the performance is set to be equally stunning. With that motor capable of producing 750 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, W Motors, the Lykan's manufacturer, are already claiming performance figures of 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 242 mph and, based on computer simulations, that all seems completely attainable. The interior is also set to be a sight to be seen. Hand-built in Italy, using the finest, most exclusive materials on earth, it may well appear more like the cockpit of a spacecraft than a road car. A holographic display system takes the place of more traditional clocks and dials, seats are constructed in carbon fibre to a unique design, and even the ignition key features carbon fibre and titanium, not to mention precious stones. Add to that the fact that every aspect will be infinitely customisable to the buyer's specification, and you come to realise that this is no ordinary car.
