After its unveiling in Dubai, the Fenyr SuperSport has been given its own video that showcases how wild the design is. To recap, the supercar was developed in collaboration with Magna Steyr and RUF Automobile of Germany. Only 25 units will be made, and it’s reportedly priced at USD$ 1.8 million (RM7.9 million).
Shown more clearly now, is the green, white and red strips (no, it’s not the colour of the Italian flag, but the United Arab Emirates flag). In addition to that, the rear logo looks as though it’s floating in the air.
Sadly, no details of the interior has been shown in the video but it’s the way that the supercar is built, which is enough to grab one’s attention. To start off with, the Fenyr features an aerodynamically-engineered, full carbon-fibre shell and a tubular aluminium chassis beneath it. This means the vehicle is light in terms of overall weight.
The main highlight of the high-performance supercar, however, is its engine – developed by RUF. A twin-turbo 4.0 litre flat-six mid-rear engine paired to a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox can be found beneath that body. Producing upward of about 900 hp and 1,200 Nm, the century sprint is done in 2.7 seconds, while top-speed “exceeds 400 km/h.”
Unlike the Lykan HyperSport, priced at USD$3.4 million (now RM14.9 million) and aimed at the ultra-luxury segment, the Fenyr SuperSport is a more “affordable” supercar. According to Ralph R. Debbas, CEO of W Motors, it’s meant for those looking for pure performance and a striking design similar to the Lykan, rather than a rare collector’s item.

not lebanese flag but UAE
A young company can make such sexy hot super car while Proton can’t even make an Iriz right. See the difference?
And yet a 75 year old toyota global car company still give shit spec, paper thin cars, with invisible safety spec.
Blame yourself when you can’t afford good Toyota. Why Toyota so expensive here? Thanks to your beloved Proton.
When we gave you fuel saving Prius, 2.4L alike power, 7 airbags, VSC TRC ABS EBD BA everything in RM140k, you couldn’t afford, then you pretend it DOESN’T EXIST. To protect Proton hybrids (still in Mars), it rise to RM250k, you blame Toyota.
How hilarious.
Why toyota cannot sell at honda price with same specs?
It’s relatively easy to design a super car. Production cost is not an issue. High performance engines are easily available. Practicality is not an issue. Price tag isn’t. Reliability isn’t an issue either. Porsche 911 GT3 on fire? Nah. No problem. Same thing with Lamborghini, Ferrari… they aren’t very reliable. The Caparo T1 even ignited itself DURING a car review for TV!
It IS difficult to develop an affordable every day car. Even the smallest reliability issue will hit many customers, who will complain no end. Crash tests need to be passed. It needs to be cheap to make, because otherwise the price tag would be to high and people would buy other cars. The design needs to be practical and useful first and foremost, no fancy wings and sharp corners and no wasting space (how big is the boot on this Fenyr?). And of course cheap to produce, fancy designs cost extra, and customers aren’t willing to pay for that. Small outside, big inside. Instead of extra wide extra expensive tyres they have to use skinny cheap ones, but handling still needs to be good. A hyper car can have very stiff suspension, but normal customers do want something that also absorbs bumps and goes over speed bumps. Fuel consumption on this Fenyr will probably make your eyes water, normal consumers won’t have any of that.
That’s why it is relatively easy to make a super car, hyper car, whatever. Normal, affordable cars are really hard. Extremely hard.
Until now we have yet to see any news about the actual real world test for the Lykan, now they come up with this imaginary thing? What you see here might probably be an empty shell with no engine. Very fishy, selling nothing but specs and rumours.
If you thought Lamborghini was a bit tame…
