Lykan Hypersport is the debut of W Motors in supercar territory.
Its name suddenly raised when Lykan became the major focus in Furious 7 film,
and also came in the Project CARS game and Driveclub. Due to limited
production, Lykan Hypersport is offered at a high price. And the Abu Dhabi
Police Department has added a number of technologies that make it more special.
The use of luxury cars and supercars by United Arab Emirates
police force is not new news: Carbon Motors E7, Nissan GT-R, and also Chevrolet
Camaro. And now reportedly they also adopt Lykan Hypersport that's equipped
with advanced capabilities made by Ekin Technology, making it resemble to
Robocop car.
The modification of collaboration between the Abu Dhabi
Police and Ekin lies in the series of Ekin Patrol surveillance camera system.
It can read the license plate. But instead of one by one, the process is done simultaneously;
all are detected in the area of 180 degrees. The system will also match the
plate with vehicle speed. Amazingly, the camera can scan and recognize faces
even though the car is being raced at high speed.
In addition, this advanced version of the Lykan Hypersport
can send GPS coordinates of the cars to police or traffic control center, as
well as communicate with fellow officers. There is also a function of
'blacklist' to see the vehicles which are entered at the blacklist record. Ekin
Technology claims that no other product in the world that's able to scan and
match at the same time, unless their work.
For Ekin team, their technology opens new possibilities and
potential in the smart traffic field. Ekin Patrol helps to boost the security
level, the effectiveness of operation, and maintenance. As a complement of the
entire ecosystem, Ekin and Abu Dhabi Police is also implementing a program
called Smart Traffic Center Project.
Lykan Hypersport itself is the first street-legal supercar
made by the Middle East (W Motors comes from Lebanon), and it's produced only
seven units. It occupies the third position of the world's most expensive
vehicles, behind the Lamborghini Veneno and Maybach Exelero. For reference:
Lykan is more expensive US $ 1 million than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, one
of the fastest vehicles in the world.
The high price is quite reasonable because in addition of
the advanced technologies, the headlights are made from the combination of
titanium blade LED and precious stones - 420 diamonds, a total of 15 carat.
Additionally, there are also other options such as sapphires, rubies and yellow
diamonds. Lykan Hypersport is priced at around US $ 3.4 million.
