The W Motors story
W Motors’ Lykan HyperSport and Fenyr SuperSport established a modern hypercar identity outside the category’s usual European centres. The two programmes share a taste for dramatic proportions and highly visible design details, but they are separate families rather than successive trim levels. Lykan belongs in the archive, with Fenyr forming the current published programme.
The geographical distinction is useful context, not a verdict on the engineering. We are interested in the specific choices made in packaging, materials and mechanical layout. A manufacturer becomes more convincing when those choices can be explained independently of the spectacle surrounding the reveal.
Lykan and Fenyr also show why a young marque benefits from a recognisable design vocabulary. A reader can follow the changing treatment of the lights, openings and body volumes without assuming that the cars share every underlying component. Our preference is for that kind of specific comparison. It allows the company’s identity to develop through the cars themselves rather than through claims of exclusivity alone.
Current lineup & programmes
Performance and specialist model families are listed below. Programme status describes the manufacturer’s published range or announcement, rather than stock or an available allocation. Open-top and special derivatives are grouped where they share a family; follow the model link for the distinctions.

The SuperCarNews view
Lykan HyperSport and Fenyr SuperSport establish W Motors' place in this archive. The company's history links the first model to its initial international visibility and the Fenyr to a subsequent development of its specialist-car identity. The manufacturer continues to present the Fenyr within its programme.
The interesting question is how a new marque creates an identity that survives beyond a spectacular launch or film appearance. Shape, cabin execution and the relationship with technical partners all contribute. We would judge the result by the clarity of those choices, rather than assume exclusivity alone makes the car compelling.
The distinction between the two models also matters. A Lykan specification should not be copied into a Fenyr article because the cars share a manufacturer. Small-volume production makes individual documentation more important, not less.
