cartechboy writes "If you're looking for bling, you can always count on Dubai. At the Dubai Motor Show this week, Lebanon-based W Motors unveiled what is billed as the world's first Arab-built super car. The Lykan Hypersport incorporates jewels and precious metals in its construction, suicide-style doors, and an interactive holographic display system. (Yes, drivers will be able to adjust radio volume via a holograph.) The 750 horsepower car accelerates to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 245 mph. The cost: $3.4 million, but owners will also receive a Cyrus Klepcys watch, said to be valued at around $200,000. W Motors plans a whopping 7 units for production."

      Honestly it looks more tasteful than I imagined.

      I figured it would be shaped like a giant penis with death to america written on the windshield and really gaudy gems and gold chrome paint.

    Well, it has stopped being â(TM)by geeksâ(TM), and therefore â(TM)for geeksâ(TM) a decade ago, too. Now itâ(TM)s rather â(TM)by moronsâ(TM) â(TM)for moronsâ(TM).
