Driven: the world's fastest front-wheel-drive car - and it's a Golf. You donât really hear of Q-cars any more. Thirty years ago the phrase was commonplace, but has fallen into effective disuse today.

W Motors, which is now based in Dubai, is claiming performance figures that put the rear-wheel-drive Lykan Hypersport in the same league as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports. Powered by a mid-rear positioned, twin turbocharged flat-six engine generating 750 horsepower, W Motors says the car can go from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in a neck-snapping 2.8 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 395 km/h (245 mph).
