The Fenyr SuperSport is a Lebanese limited production sports car built by W Motors, a United Arab Emirates based company. It was unveiled at the 2015 Dubai Motor Show. The name of the car, Fenyr, comes from the word Fenrir, the name of a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology.[3] The production of the car is planned to be up to 25 units per year, an increase from the limited 7-car total production run of its predecessor.[2][4] The price of the Fenyr SuperSport is expected to start at US$1.9 million.[5]
Specifications
Powertrain
The Fenyr SuperSport is powered by a 3.8 litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine developed by Ruf Automobile,[6] producing a maximum of 596 kW (810 PS; 799 hp) at 7,100 rpm and 980 N⋅m (723 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm.[6] The engine has mid-rear mounted position.
Transmission
The Fenyr SuperSport is equipped with Porsche's 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. The transmission is paired with a limited-slip differential and is mounted transversely at the rear of the vehicle transferring power to the rear wheels.[6]
Suspension
The Fenyr SuperSport utilises MacPherson strut suspension on the front axle, and multi-link suspension with horizontal coil over shock absorbers at the rear axle. Anti-roll bars are also installed at both axles.[6]
Wheels
The Fenyr SuperSport is equipped with forged aluminum wheels with diameters of 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear. The car utilises Pirelli P Zero tyres having codes of 255/35 ZR 19 for the front and 335/30 ZR 20 for the rear. The brakes are ventilated ceramic composite discs, with a diameter of 420 mm (16.5 in) each and utilising six-piston aluminium callipers at the front and rear.[6]
Interior features
The interior of the Fenyr SuperSport features a dashboard and central console finished in carbon-fibre and alcantara. The infotainment system includes a 12.3-inch dashboard display, 10.4-inch central display, and a 7.8-inch display for interior controls on the passenger side.[6] The car also has a 3G router and a mobile app for enhanced connectivity and remote data monitoring.
Performance
The manufacturer claims a top speed of 394 km/h (245 mph) for the Fenyr SuperSport.[1] The car has a claimed 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 2.7 seconds. This is at least 5 km/h (3 mph) faster and 0.1 seconds quicker than the claimed figures for the Lykan HyperSport.[7]
