The Casey/W motors saga has made W Motors maybe my favorite manufacturer. The fact that W Motors didn’t pull a Ferrari and try to attack Genius Garage for the build was the first pleasant surprise. Then seeing that they were happy to provide some assistance and followed the build was even more impressive. Now choosing to give this rare opportunity to, I say this respectfully as someone with zero followers, a rather small channel based on the fact that he probably would get more from the experience than anyone has me sold on the company. That’s a really awesome story and a really awesome company.

I have lost respect for Ferrari and even Mr. Ferrari himself. He was a really egotistical bastard. He treated one customer so badly that the customer promised him he would regret it. The angry customer's name? Ferrucio Lamborghini. And not only that, he fired a lot of workers and Mr. Lamborghini gave them a job. I heard the team is doing terribly in Formula One now. I couldn't care one bit. Schumacher and Raikkonen did the work for them. They didn't know what the hell they were doing before those two came along.

Sightseeing over, I headed North and found a rugged mountain road devoid of traffic, so set about hammering that course. I had a few white-knuckle moments and Mom was speechless in fear as I took blind corners fast enough that plunging a thousand feet to our certain death was a thrill. Finally got down to flat ground and hit Nicosia for the sights, then back to the hotel in Limassol (the Royal Appolonia) - great hotel and coming back in, hit a speed bump that was not painted. The rear view mirror had obviously had enough, detached from the windshield and landed in the back seat.. I had to pull over b/c I was laughing so hard!

The first Lykan was a scam to raise funds to build Lykans' second car. It actually was a pretty intelligent business model. The second model Lykan has made available (forgot the name) is an actual supercar. The Hypersport? Not so much.

[@jsquared1013]

I wouldn't call it a "scam", the buyers knew what they were getting, and much of what they paid for was the exclusivity (and bragging points like crystals in the headlights).

[@jsquared1013]

@@Spark972 this is VinWiki, not a review channel. The test driver that the company uses is a full-time professional who has competed for years in LMP1. There's only 7 in the world and they are all spoken for, but the Fenyr might get enough produced to eventually get one in the hands of a big-name guy like Harris or Harry Metcalf. How many CTR3s or Ruf RGTs or Chirons have been on those same channels getting slid around a test track?

Of course it's not a legit hypercar. It's like saying that a Armani suit is the same as a tailored suit you bought from some one that run a drycleaner but also tailor suits. I would class it more as a sportscar. A hypercar entails it's on the edge of the most technological advanced sports cars you can think of.

Casey the only American to drive and work on a Lykan. America’s lykan expert!

[@robertmiller9687]

So Casey talked about it being twin turbo, with lots of power, and admits to using full throttle multiple times, and STILL doesn't say any power values, or compare the acceleration to other cars... Sooo... Good Lord. All he said was it's a beast.

[@charleswaldon8362]

Casey is a dry statistic... and asking for more was a laugh.. besides he will be at least 6 years outside of ownership before he could blast the Dubai dump Co. He is way too far up their azzez to talk s41t

@CZINGER-21C thank you!

[@robertmiller9687]

@CZINGER-21C I absolutely enjoyed the fact that there was an environment within the car described, I loved his first episode in which there was some spirited driving along with curves, there was alot presented, and very well might I add. In fact, his description and what I could see with shifting through the gears was fantastic. But the power values were intentionally left out.

[@plusRpm]

I mean the thing we knew beforehand and definitively is that is has the ruf ctr3 drivetrain. Which has that sequential gearbox too 😄

[@johntaylor-lo8qx]

Genius Garage should have sponcers like crazy. Sponcers that give money just for a sticker on the car !!! Thank you for teaching the most valuable lessons of all. I'm sure you learn also. 🙏

I got to chase a Lykan from Baseline east onto the 210 west (Southern California). LOL, but I was in a 2000 Mustang GT.....so it did not last long by the time he got on the freeway.

[@fiercenet]

Spoiler alert, while it seems like this definitely was a cool experience, and the Lykan certainly isn't vaporware, there's nothing particularly special about this car from a performance standpoint, and this video, despite the kind words certainly solidified that. Perhaps there will be a follow up on his channel of him ripping on it at triple digit speeds, some real metrics and maybe even some head to head comparisons but until then its still just a body kit on a Porsche with less reliability.

[@02lucy666]

Its a 3 pedal vehicle. And that third pedal is no parking brake. It certanly is something special in todays day and age.

[@liiillllliiilllliilllliii9461]

@@02lucy666 a manual transmission is nothing crazy there are many cars with them if you want one but most people don’t for many reason

[@Drew_Dannie]

The fact they were excited about the build, helped when they could and gave Casey an invite to see the real deal. Not to mention it sounds like they were invested in the students and their progress shines a new light on W motorsports for me. I know i saw the video from the KZbin channel named after a certain pastry and they seem to be completely wrong about the things they said. I know Casey did a reaction video to their not so accurate video.

[@mashepotatoes]

This was so awesome 😎

[@realgsdontdie5095]

Feel like he's building and building and building the story up for this huge climax and...... 🤔

[@my31and37]

He does have a tendency to talk something to death.

[@meangreen99]

Yeah Casey just got on here to film another response video to the videos calling out lykan for all their bs

[@kaptainkangaroo5377]

Been subscribed on his channel and a Genius Garage fan for quite some time but Casey banned me from his channel for disagreeing.

[@jasonhinton2562]

He's definitely going to rollover at the last min and say he has a boyfriend and start crying then say we should be doing this and on the way home he's asking if we can stop at waffle house. Then ask what your doing this weekend.

[@kineticinstallationspecial5775]

He's a shit storyteller

[@sickjohnson]

This is the best one I have seen...damn impressive and then some! The level of respect I have for W Motors just went up 10 times, and it was high before that.

[@TheMe700]

Mine too, but then again, 10 x 0 is still 0

[@dominikid202]

I hope the students get a chance to do what you did and meet the W motors guys one day

This could have been 8 minutes shorter and told the same exact story..
