The Lykan HyperSport is not a well-known car, but is
definitely a head-turner, with its unique body style, interior features
including a holographic display, and price tag in the multimillions. Made by W Motors, which is located in Dubai,
this car has been featured in the movie Furious 7. With only seven of
them in existence, this unique car is surely a collector’s item, as well as
being well placed as one of the highest horsepower cars, at 780 horsepower at
7100 rpm. This is definitely a car book to recommend for those who love fast
cars. It’s nice to see a book about a car that is not often featured in car
books for children. It features
excellent illustrations, a specifications chart, a glossary and an index.
The series Car Crazy features fourteen books that
will delight young children who have an automotive interest. Statistics on the
car, its history, and little-known facts will appeal to budding car aficionados. Each book has excellent illustrations, a
specifications chart, a glossary and an index Grades 2-5.
Summary: The Lykan HyperSport is a unique car built in
Dubai by W Motors, and only seven of them were built. One was used in the Furious
7 movie. Because of the multimillion dollar price, few can afford these
extremely fast cars. It is nice to see a
book on a lesser known brand. Grades 2-7.
