£2.2million supercar which travels from 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds is set to be the priciest motor on the market
A Lebanese-made super car will become the most expensive motor in the world when it is unveiled later this year - setting buyers back £2.2 million.
But even those with the highest budgets to appease their boy racer fantasies might need to scramble for the new LykanHypersport - as only seven of the cars are being created this year.
The car becomes the world's most expensive above the Bugatti Veyron, which costs a mere £1.5 million.
Expensive: The LykanHypersport will become the world's most expensive car when it is unveiled later this year, costing £2.2 million
Despite its huge cost, the car, which is to be unveiled at the Qatar motor show, is not as fast as the Veyron.
While the LykanHypersport does 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds, the Veyron does it in 2.5 seconds.
Diamonds: The car, designed by Lebanese firm W Motors, features diamond-encrusted lights and a gold stitched leather interior
The luxury car even has diamond-encrusted lights.
Created by firm W Motors, the motor has an impressive 750 horsepower engine.
Tech-heads will also be impressed by the vehicle's 3D holographic display and its interactive dashboard.
The car, first imagined by designer Ralph Debbas, who previously worked with Aston Martin, has taken six years to design.
It was developed in alongside Magna Steyr Italia, RUF Automobile, Studiotorino, Viotti, and ID4MOTIO.
Limited edition: The manufacturers will only be making seven of the cars, which have a top speed of 267mph, this year
UFOs on the M4: Audi reveals bizarre 'swarm' light that turns the back of its cars into a pulsating screen
Audi has revealed a car lighting technology that can make the back of its cars show bright patterns to other drivers.
This 'swarm' is made up of thousands of small red lights that cover the width of the boot and react to movements of the car.
The screens are designed to show other drivers what the driver it doing - but motoring organizations told Cars In Doha the technology should stay a concept.
Audi's swarm tail light technology is made up of organic light-emitting diodes that respond to movements of the car
When the wheel is turned left or right, the lights flow in the same direction. When the driver presses the accelerator the lights move faster, and when the car brakes the lights flow forward
When the wheel is turned left or right, the lights flow in the same direction. When the driver presses the accelerator the lights move faster, and when the car brakes the lights flow forward
When the driver turns the wheel, the red dots flow in the direction it has been turned.
When the car speeds up the number of dots, or 'fish', increase and they flow faster around the surface.
When the driver brakes, the dots slow down and flow forward onto the top of the boot.
Audi’s swarm lights are made up of thousands of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
These diodes can be added to any surface.
When an electrical charge is put through this organic material, the diodes light up.
Audi claims these lights mean drivers in cars behind can always see what the driver of the car in front is doing.

UK television
A new TV documentary highlighting complaints about rich, young Khaleeji men turning London’s streets into their own personal playground is sparking debate and discussion online about multiculturalism and tolerance.
“Millionaire Boy Racers” focuses on the so-called “Arab supercar season” in London every summer, when young male Gulf residents flock to the UK’s capital for lengthy holidays, often with their imported super cars in tow.
These men like to show off their cars in the central London borough of Knights bridge, the location of popular luxury store Harrods, which was bought by Qatar in 2010.
Residents’ complaints
Several long-term Knights-bridge residents feature in the film, in which they relate tales of sleepless nights due to the volume of engine noise these super-cars create.
They also complain that the cars are driven erratically and at excessive speeds, posing a serious safety risk.
Although no Qatari men are featured in the film, the footage includes several super cars clearly displaying Qatari number plates, as well as images of the Doha skyline.
Controversial comments
The documentary has proved controversial partly due to comments made in the film by residents about the effect they feel so many tourists from the Gulf are having on their local area.
For example, resident Justin describes the Gulf tourist season as “reverse colonization” and is seen telling a policeman that he doesn’t like the new multicultural nature of his home.
Conversely, two British car enthusiasts featured in the documentary explain why they love to see the cars on London’s streets, and express dismay at the campaign to get rid of them.
The film also showcases the extravagant lifestyles of several young male tourists from KSA and Kuwait, who are seen visiting exclusive nightclubs and running up huge bills during their nights out on the town.
