Sheikh Mohammed is first 2013 Range Rover customer in the world


His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the popular Ruler of Dubai who is also the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, has apparently become the first customer of the 2013 Range Rover in the world, after local dealer Al Tayer Motors delivered a white one and a black one to him recently.

The white one will have his customary “Dubai 1” number plate, just like all his other cars, while the black one will have plate number “11” and goes to Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.

For all we know, the vehicles were gifted to the ruler because cars associated with royalty instantly get a sales boost in the UAE. Mercedes-Benz had already handed over the 2013 G 65 AMG to the ruler, long before it even hit showrooms anywhere.

We’d actually heard months ago that the first batch of 2013 Range Rover Supercharged models went straight to the royals of the UAE, so this news didn’t come as a surprise to us. Unfortunately Land Rover Middle East did not capitalise on the handover occasion and simply sent us an anonymous Blackberry photo that has been doing the rounds of the internet for ages, instead of taking any actual proper photos.

  1. RR Looks Beautiful <3 <3 stunning car

  2. not sure yet. i really like the rear, but the front doesnt do this car justice.

    the G65 looks awesome, though!!!

  3. Mashallah….wish it was a seven seater

  4. wow real nice gifts. i may have actually seen these very 2 range rovers on a truck on emirates road sometime back!

    i still think it looks a little too ford explorerish. Im sure it will sell like cheesecake factory cheesecakes now.

    any idea on pricing?

  5. What a nice car!I love it

  6. Sheikh Mohammed has a G63 , not a G65!

  7. had to be done!! now wait and see how it easily it will sell in Dubai 😉

  8. Isnt the first picture a photoshop’d version of the range rover ? I am pretty sure that Sheikh Mohammed did not go offroad straight away… not cool..

  9. Ya yaso wat, I bet I was the 3rd buyer
