W Motors unveiled its first model, the Lykan HyperSport, at the Qatar Motor Show in January 2013.[4] It is planned to manufacturer ten examples, selling each at GB£2,160,000. It is powered by a twin-turbo, flat-six Ruf-tuned Porsche[5] engine producing power of 740 bhp (552 kW; 750 PS) and 737 lb·ft (999 N·m) of torque. It is claimed to be capable of 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 245 mph (394.3 km/h).[6] A second model in the pipeline is the 'Lykan SuperSport'. W Motors was co-founded in Lebanon in July 2012[1] by Sari El Khalil[2] and its chairman Ralph Debbas, a former student of the Coventry University School of Art and Design.[3] The company is now based in Dubai, UAE.
RUF Automobile GmbH is a German automobile manufacturer. RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts instead of simply badge engineering, the company is recognised as a manufacturer by the German government. RUF is mostly known for their CTR Yellowbird, and is the biggest and most renowned company to make Porsche performance enhancements. RUF has also made a name for itself as an automobile refiner, specialist in vintage restoration and rebuilds of classic RUF and Porsche automobiles. RUF also carries out service and crash repair. In April 2007, RUF released the new CTR3 to celebrate the company's new plant in Bahrain and as a 20th anniversary celebration of the original CTR. In 2010 Geneva Motor Show, RUF also showcased the RGT-8, the first production V8-powered 911 in the history. In February 2013, Genii Capital, owner of Lotus F1 Team, acquired RUF. Gerard Lopez has been appointed non-executive chairman of the board.
In racing video games, due to difficulties in obtaining a license to the Porsche brand, RUF is a popular substitute, as their cars' exterior structures remain similar but with altered engine specifications.

Gran Turismo series, a well-known exclusive franchise for Sony platforms, utilise Ruf as a "substitute" for Porsche, as the creators were unable to acquire the rights to the Porsche brand. When Turn 10 Studios lost the rights to Porsche following Forza Motorsport 3, Ruf was then included in Forza Motorsport 4. However, in the fourth installment, a thirty-car Porsche download content pack was released seven months after the game's debut. Another download pack featured 3 other RUF cars, whereas the original game only contained one. Project Gotham Racing 4 obtained the Ruf license when Bizarre Creations lost the rights to Porsche. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is another modern racing game including 4 Ruf car models. The Ruf brand can also be seen in Gameloft's Asphalt series. In Driver: San Francisco, the player is able to drive the following Ruf cars: Ruf CTR 3, Ruf CTR Yellow Bird, Ruf RK Coupe, Ruf RK Spyder and Ruf Rt 12.[9] Most recently, Slightly Mad Studios acquired the Ruf license and will include these Ruf car models in Project CARS: Ruf CTR Yellow Bird, Ruf RGT-8, Ruf Rt 12R and the Ruf CTR 3.

A RUF car also features prominently in the Wangan Midnight franchise. In the Manga, Anime and Japanese games, one of the main characters drives a "Yellowbird" painted black. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruf_Automobile
