Please Don’t Jump the Fenyr SuperSport Like ‘Fast and the Furious’

For the casual observer, at first glance, this is the car from Furious 7, the seventh installation of the seemingly never-ending, yet quite fun, Fast and the Furious franchise. It’s the car that Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker drove and jumped through three buildings. You’d, however, be wrong. Though the W Motors Lykan Hypersport used for the film may share certain design characteristics, the Fenyr SuperSport is very much a brand-new supercar, and its laundry list of performance stats make it one of the fastest cars on the planet.

The Dubai-based W Motors is a relative newcomer to the world of supercars. In fact, the aforementioned Lykan Hypersport was its first offering, reaching production just two years ago. Only seven were ever built, and it’s easy to see why, as the Lykan Hypersport sported headlights that made use of 420 actual diamonds. Why? Because diamonds are way more dope than LEDs.

Now ready to release its second offering, W Motors wants the Fenyr SuperSport to be the more consumer-available supercar as production will increase to a grand total of 25 per year. How industrious.

The Fenyr SuperSport is powered by a 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged, flat-six engine developed by the manic fiends at RUF Automobile GmbH, the German Porsche-tuning company responsible for some of the wildest Porsche creations. The flat-six puts down a barn-blazing 789 horsepower and 723 lb-ft of torque and rests rear-middle in the Anthony Jannarelly-designed carbon body.

According to the company, the Fenyr SuperSport will be able to hit a top speed of 245 mph. You should be able to get to 62 mph by in just 2.7 seconds, while 124 mph comes just 6 seconds after. If that sounds eyes-hitting-the-back-of-your-skull-fast, you’d be right. Though the group is barely out of its teething years, the production-ready cars, and the engineering work inside of them, was completed by Magna Steyr, the same company that has been responsible for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class since its inception nearly 50 years ago, helped Aston Martin develop the Rapide, and builds both Jaguar’s E-Pace SUV and I-Pace fully electric crossover. With that resume, this car is sure to boogie.

Inside, customers will be cosseted in special W Motors carbon fiber shell seats, while the rest of the car will be able to be customized to your heart’s desire as customers will sit down with an individual W Motors’ Customization Consultant. Well, you’ll be able to until your bank account runs into an overdraft situation — and that’s certainly a possibility with a starting price of $1.5 million dollars. The car will make its production debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and will be one of the many supercars that run the historic hill climb.

2024 Audi Q8 SUV flagship updates exterior and lighting technology
New features help differentiate Audi's flagship from the rest
2024 Audi S Q8 in Waitomo Blue left front three-quarter view on pavement near the ocean shore - European Model Shown..

Audi pulled off a pretty neat trick updating its flagship Q8 SUV. How do you differentiate an automotive brand's flagship from the rest of the model lineup? It's imperative to balance significant brand identity clues with distinctive touches that signal the flagship's specialness.
The Audi Q7 three-row mid-size SUV packs sufficient luxury for many buyers, so Audi needed to add unique features to the Q8 to provoke desire and loosen budgets. The most significant changes in the 2024 Audi Q8 are in exterior styling, blending boldness with elegance, to use Audi's terms. Audi rolled out additional standard driver assistance technology in the Q8, but the drive trains carry over unchanged for the Q8 and the sporty SQ8.

The 2024 Audi Q8's updated design
The 2024 Audi Q8 styling changes emphasize the existing roofline slope, frameless doors, and broad wheel arches. The Q8's octagonal front grille incorporates new design features, including L-shaped sections on the Q8 with the S Line style option and on the SQ8.

Only 50 Audi TT Roadster Final Editions are for sale (and only in the U.S.)
This limited edition celebrates the original Audi design

The end of the 2023 model production year will mark the demise of the "fun Audi," the ICE-powered, two-seater Audi TT sports car. Audi of America recently announced a limited run of just 50 2023 Audi TT Roadster Final Edition sports cars for sale in the U.S.

Audi's farewell TT build resembles the 2024 Jaguar F-Type ZP Special Edition. The limited-run Jaguar roadster and coupe references the company's historic racing success. A notable difference between the two marques is that Jaguar will switch to EVs entirely after the 2024 model year. Audi is committed to a U.S. model lineup that will be at least 30% electrified by 2025 but will continue to sell gas-powered cars, such as the Audi Q7 Prestige midsize SUV and the S5 Sportback.
