Why it matters
The Lykan HyperSport's leap between the Etihad Towers is one of the best-known stunts of the Fast & Furious series. W Motors built ten purpose-made stunt cars for it, and this is the only one that survived. It is a film car built by the manufacturer itself, distinct from the handful of road-going Lykans.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionone of ten stunt cars built for Furious 7 survives | 13 | Surviving examples | Independently researched |
| Total model productionLykan HyperSport units, limited by the maker to seven | 71,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
W Motors, set up in Dubai in 2012, built ten stunt versions of its Lykan HyperSport for Furious 7. They were used in action scenes filmed in Abu Dhabi in 2013, in which the car crashes out of an Etihad Towers window into a neighbouring tower and then into a third. Nine were destroyed.
The surviving car, still bearing filming scars, was displayed at the W Motors Gallery in Dubai and offered through the RubiX platform on 11 May 2021 with a US$500,000 reserve, sold together with an NFT package. The result was not confirmed in the sources.
