A new supercar brand based in the United Arab Emirates is preparing to enter the crowded world of high-performance exotics, promising a purist-focused machine aimed at enthusiasts in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
The company, called FLKON and pronounced “falcon,” plans to unveil its first model on Sunday, Feb. 15. While full technical specifications remain under wraps, early teasers point to a driver-focused philosophy centered on mechanical engagement rather than digital intervention.
At the heart of that promise is a gated manual transmission featuring at least six forward gears and an exposed shift linkage. Images released by the company show what appears to be a machined billet aluminum shift gate with a warm silver finish, mounted within a carbon fiber center tunnel. A prominent badge declaring the car “Made in the Emirates” underscores the company’s domestic ambitions.
Exterior teaser images reveal a low, wide stance with a sharply sculpted body. The front view hints at the bird-inspired identity behind the brand’s name, while the rear features a sail-like fin running along the engine cover, accented by a central lightbar. A large carbon fiber rear wing and a center-exit exhaust further emphasize the car’s performance intent. The visible suspension setup suggests a double-wishbone arrangement with additional locator links.
FLKON says the upcoming reveal will include final design details, technical innovations and drivetrain specifications. The company has developed proof of concept for several elements and is working with Bosch and TÜV SÜD to ensure the vehicle meets regulatory standards in its target markets. Those partnerships are expected to support durability, safety and homologation efforts.
The startup reports raising 88 million AED, roughly $24 million, as it seeks further investment. It is even offering a substantial finder’s fee to attract additional financial backing.
Though a production timeline remains uncertain, FLKON aims to establish itself as a credible homegrown supercar manufacturer in a region already known for its appetite for high-performance machines.
