Arab sheiks choice: what cars do they drive?

What do you imagine when you hear about the cars of Arab sheiks? It’s surely something very expensive: a sports car or customed luxury "iron horse". Today we will figure out which models are much loved by rich people from the United Arab Emirates.

• Lykan HyperSport

Rolled out in 2013, the Lykan HyperSport supercar received a luxurious and aggressive appearance, a six-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with a supervision system. Its volume is 3,746 cubic centimeters. As a result, the car reaches the first one hundred only in 2.8 seconds and can speed up to 385 kilometers.

The car costs about $3.4 million. And this is not surprising, because the body of the car is made of carbon. And, attention... the polar headlights have a LED filling and an inlaid of 420 diamonds.

As they say, everything is in the best traditions of the Arab sheiks.

• Lotec C1000

The only C1000 in its kind was designed for a rich businessman from the UAE by the German company Lotec, known by GROUP 6 and Group C race cars.

It was designed with a carbon body, which made it possible to reduce the mass to 1080 kg, despite the large engine. Really huge 5.6-liter V8 from Mercedes-Benz with a pair of turbocharger Garrett sends a power of 1000 "horses".

The highest possible speed is 430 km/h, and the acceleration to 100 is happening in 3.2 seconds. The cost of such a "device" is $3,5 million.

• McLaren X 1

This exclusive, in shape reminiscent of an imperial stormtrooper, was created in a single format based on the McLaren MP4-12C. The car cost the customer $6 million and is still the only one of its kind.
