With the Middle East such a major market for supercars, it was inevitable that the region eventually would birth its own supercar company. Now it has. W Motors, which bills itself as the first Arabian brand of high-performance luxury sports cars, was established in Lebanon in 2012, and moved to the more luxury-goods-friendly environment of the United Arab Emirates the following year. At the U.A.E.’s Dubai auto show, W Motors unveiled its latest offering, the Fenyr SuperSport.

The mid-engine Fenyr features a carbon-composite body over an aluminum chassis. Motivation comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine by German tuner RUF that makes 900 horsepower and 885 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic sends that output to the rear wheels. Top speed is claimed to exceed 249 mph, with 62 mph arriving in “less than” 2.7 seconds.

On the show stand at Dubai, the Fenyr SuperSport was joined by its sibling, the Lykan HyperSport (above). You might recognize the latter as the car Vin Diesel’s character drove in Furious 7. Seven also happens to be the Lykan’s total production output, according to its maker; that makes the new Fenyr the volume model in the lineup. Its run is to be capped at 25 units per year.
