W Motors will outfit the Lykan’s interior with diamonds, gold, and platinum as well as give each of the seven lucky owners a Cyrus Klepcys Watch, which itself is valued at U.S. $200,000 (or approx Rp. 1.93 billion). Each owner will also get a dedicated concierge service line. The first deliveries are expected to occur at the end of 2013, but you can expect to hear a lot more about Beirut-based W Motors before then.

So who is the first buyer of this car? A billionaire from Qatar became the first buyer Lykan Hypersport, most expensive cars in the world today. Sheikh Jawan bin Hamad Al-Thani had to spend up to U.S. $3.5 million (about Rp. 34 billion) to bring home the black colored Lykan Hypersport.
