First drive: 2017 Porsche 911 1,000,000 and 911 classics in Scotland (’67 Targa, ’85 Clubsport, 964 Turbo & 996 GT3)
It’s not very often a car museum wheels its finest exhibits out the door, transports them to a destination with fantastic driving roads, throws you the keys and says: “Here you go. Have fun!” It’s not a common occurrence even for us weather-beaten career motoring hacks. However, the Porsche Museum handed a small selection of automotive hacks from around the globe (including this DriveArabia scribe) what amounted to an early Eid present, laying on an epic road trip through the Scottish Highlands in some of the finest ‘toys’ in its collection.
2018 BMW 2-Series range gets minor updates
BMW gave their entry level coupe/convertible, the 2-Series, a refresh which includes a list of minor tweaks. The refresh applies to the whole range of 2-Series cars, starting from the pedestrian base models all the way up to the fire-breathing M2. A new model, M240i M, is also slipped in to form a link between the normal 2-Series and the M2.
2018 Fiat 500L gets a subtle refresh
Fiat’s 500L recently received an update which, Fiat claims, has changed 40% of the 500L’s components. But visually, it’s not that easy to spot all the differences.
Long-term update: Toyota 86 put to work as daily-driver and track car
Hello, Toyota 86 fans. Yes, it has been almost a year since I’ve wrote an update on my 86, mainly due to being busy with the work-life routine. It has also been a year since I’ve had the 86. I’m glad to report that it has been a smooth experience when it comes to fun little sports cars that’s also economically lean on the pocket.
First drive: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in Las Vegas USA
When we went to Nevada for the U.S. launch of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (and visit SEMA) late last year, we had a bit of free time to explore Las Vegas, and we were provided a new Chrysler Pacifica minivan to do it in on our own accord. We figured why not take the chance to review it, since it’s likely destined to hit Middle East shores eventually, maybe within a year.
Citroen C5 Aircross is as funky as the concept
At the 2015 Auto Shanghai, Citroen showed off an Aircross concept that boasted a funky design and a hybrid powertrain. Two years after that at the 2017 Auto Shanghai, it was revealed again, now as a production model. This here is the Citroen C5 Aircross.
