2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport in Forza Horizon 6
The 2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport is one of the most unique and storied cars in the entire Forza franchise. It sits in Class S1 in Forza Horizon 6 as a Hypercar — the first and only hypercar from the Arab world to appear in the Forza series. In real life, only seven were ever made. In FH6, you can own one for 3,000,000 credits — which is not cheap, but for a car this extraordinary, it is understandable.
The Lykan HyperSport has been a Forza staple since Forza Motorsport 6, where it arrived as part of the Polo Red Car Pack. It has appeared in every main Forza title since, including Forza Horizon 3, 4, and 5 (where it joined the roster in Series 29). In FH6, it returns as a high-end S1 Hypercar available from the Autoshow.
Beyond the game, the Lykan HyperSport is famous worldwide for its role in Fast & Furious 7, where it launched itself between the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi. That scene did more for its global recognition than almost any car launch event could. In FH6’s Japan setting, it gets a different kind of stage — the mountain passes, expressways, and open roads that suit a powerful, dramatic hypercar perfectly.

The stat profile tells an honest story. The Lykan HyperSport has excellent straight-line speed — an 8.6 speed rating is strong in S1 class — but the handling at 6.3 is where it trails most dedicated S1 supercars. It is a car built around power and top-end pace, not corner-to-corner agility. Think of it as a power-biased hypercar rather than a precision handler, and it will reward you accordingly.
W Motors Lykan HyperSport Real-World Specs
The Lykan HyperSport is the debut car of W Motors, a Lebanese-Emirati automotive company founded by Ralph Debbas. It was first unveiled at the Qatar Motor Show in February 2013 and represents a landmark moment — the first supercar to come out of the Arab world.
The engineering pedigree behind it is genuinely impressive. The engine is a 3.7-litre twin-turbocharged flat-6 sourced from RUF Automobile’s CTR3 supercar — itself a machine built around Porsche-derived mechanicals. It produces 780 hp at 7,100 rpm and 708 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The kerb weight of just 3,042 lb gives it an outstanding power-to-weight ratio of approximately 565 hp per tonne.
The Lykan HyperSport hits 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a tested top speed of 233 mph — slightly below the claimed 240 mph due to its tight gear ratios. The transmission is a 6-speed sequential manual, transversely rear-mounted, with a limited-slip differential. In the Forza games, the car always uses this six-speed manual configuration.
What makes the Lykan truly extraordinary beyond its performance is the level of luxury and exclusivity packed into it. The LED headlights contain titanium blades set with 440 platinum diamonds — buyers could choose from diamonds, rubies, yellow diamonds, or sapphires. The interior features a holographic display system and gold stitching throughout. Each of the seven buyers also received a Cyrus Klepcys watch worth $200,000. The brakes use six-piston aluminium callipers with carbon-ceramic composite cross-drilled discs measuring 380mm in diameter. Nothing about this car was done halfway.
The Lykan HyperSport was the third most expensive production car in the world at the time of its production, with a retail price of US$3.4 million. In FH6, the 3,000,000 credit price tag reflects that real-world exclusivity accurately.
How to Unlock the 2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport in Forza Horizon 6
The Lykan HyperSport is available from the Autoshow in Forza Horizon 6 for 3,000,000 credits. It is one of the more expensive cars you can buy directly in the game. There is no seasonal unlock or DLC requirement — just credits.
To build that credit balance faster, see our guide on how to earn credits fast in Forza Horizon 6. Wheelspins are also worth attempting — the Lykan is in the reward pool as a high-rarity car. The fastest way to accumulate Wheelspins is covered in the XP and levelling guide. You can also check the list of most expensive cars in FH6 to plan your credit spending across all top-tier vehicles.
How Good Is the Lykan HyperSport in Forza Horizon 6?
Straight-Line Speed: Strong
An 8.6 speed rating in S1 class is excellent. The Lykan HyperSport is a genuine top-speed contender for its class. Its 780 hp through rear-wheel drive and a light 3,042 lb body means it accelerates hard once it hooks up, and it keeps pulling strongly all the way to its 233 mph ceiling. On long expressways and speed traps, it is one of the better S1 options available. See our guide on the best cars for speed traps and speed zones for comparisons across all classes.
Road Racing: Competent but Demanding
The 6.3 handling rating means the Lykan HyperSport is not at its best in tight, technical circuits. It has a handling disadvantage compared to most purpose-built supercars in S1 — the Forza Wiki notes this directly. On fast, flowing road courses where straight-line pace and braking (7.4) matter more than cornering grip, it holds its own. But on technical touge-style routes, it will work harder than a more balanced rival.
With a proper tune — particularly suspension, tyres, and differential settings — the handling deficit can be reduced significantly. See the car tuning and mechanical balance guide for where to start.
Speed Zones and Danger Signs
For PR stunt events that reward raw top speed and acceleration, the Lykan HyperSport punches well above its price class. The combination of 780 hp and 3,042 lb weight gives it the power-to-weight ratio to clear distance-based danger signs and max out speed zones. Check the full PR Stunts guide for event locations and class recommendations.
Goliath and Long-Circuit Events
On long circuits like the Goliath — where top speed matters across extended straights — the Lykan HyperSport is a legitimate choice. Its speed and braking ratings give it a strong base for endurance-style racing. Read the Goliath race guide for car selection advice and strategy.
Lykan HyperSport vs Other S1 Hypercars in FH6
Within S1, the Lykan HyperSport occupies a specific niche — high speed, rear-wheel drive, light weight, significant power. Cars like the 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus offer a more balanced all-round profile with better handling at their PI level. The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a very different car entirely — lighter on PI, sharper on handling — showing how varied the S1 landscape is.
For reference on where the Lykan sits across all classes, see the best cars for every class guide and the complete car list by class.
If budget is a factor, the 2020 BMW M8 Competition Coupé at 100,000 CR is a far more accessible S1-capable car with a strong stat spread. The Lykan commands 30 times that price — you are paying for prestige, rarity, and a piece of automotive history as much as raw lap time.
Tips for Using the W Motors Lykan HyperSport in Forza Horizon 6
- Manage the RWD carefully. At 780 hp on rear-wheel drive, aggressive throttle out of slow corners will send you sideways. Smooth, progressive power application is essential. The Lykan rewards patience at corner exit.
- Tune the differential and suspension first. This is the most impactful way to reduce the handling deficit. A rear-biased power differential and properly stiffened suspension will make the car feel sharper through corners. The mechanical balance system guide covers exactly how to approach this.
- Play to its speed strength. Do not force the Lykan into tight technical events where its handling disadvantage is most exposed. Use it in long, fast road events, speed zones, and circuit events with sustained high-speed sections.
- Use it on expressways for XP farming. High-speed road cars are excellent for skill chain farming. See how to get XP and level up fast.
- Best for showing off, too. Let’s be honest — a car with diamond-encrusted headlights deserves the Photo Mode treatment. Check the photo mode guide and best locations for spots that do this car justice.
W Motors Lykan HyperSport and Seasonal Events in Forza Horizon 6
As an Autoshow car, the Lykan HyperSport is eligible for all standard S1 events and seasonal championships in its class. The seasonal events and festival playlist guide is worth checking weekly — S1 road events appear regularly, and the Lykan’s speed rating gives it a strong baseline in those events. It is also a compelling pick for Horizon Arcade speed challenges and any time the playlist rewards top-speed milestones.

Final Verdict
The 2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport is unlike any other car in Forza Horizon 6. It is not the sharpest handler in S1, and it demands more from the driver than many of its rivals. But no other car in the game carries the same weight of history, exclusivity, and spectacle. Seven units in the real world. Diamond-encrusted headlights. A RUF-built 780 hp flat-six. Gold stitching on every seat. A $3.4 million price tag.
In FH6, it is the kind of car you buy because you want something truly special in your garage — something that tells a story every time you roll it out. On Japan’s open expressways and mountain backdrops, the Lykan HyperSport is exactly that. A rolling legend, brought to life.
