This here is exclusive video footage, taken by our roving photographer Faisal Khatib, of the 2010 Nissan Patrol on a man-made offroad course during the launch event in Dubai. While the course is standard fare, we seem to be the only ones who caught the high-tech new Patrol tripping on one of the obstacles.

Renault’s truck division held a press day recently, where they showed off the off-road prowess of the new Renault Sherpa 4×4, a civilian version of the military-grade truck, in a desert safari ride-along. It was quite possibly the most back-breaking off-road trip we’ve ever been on, as the professional driver hit dunes, shrubs and ruts [...] A comprehensive TV news report covering everything one would need to know about the Toyota recall, along with a demonstration involving a Toyota Camry. The real dream of any car enthusiast is to have a home with a garage. This 87-year-old man from Belgium manages to have just that, even if his car is just an old Fiat Panda. An extended commercial for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, quite possibly the most over-hyped car in the German manufacturer’s history. This video has stirred some debate on the authenticity of the depicted event, although any smart person can see the obvious. Quite possibly the most anticipated electric car in the history of electric cars, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt is evidently almost ready. Unlike the non-moving prototype displayed at the Dubai Motor Show, there exists several working prototypes of the Volt. This video shows one burning rubber around a parking-lot autocross course. While we are supposed to [...] This here is a car chase set in Japan, featuring a Nissan 240Z, a Skyline R31, a Pontiac Firebird and a whole host of classic Japanese police cars. Be sure to turn up the sound on this special-effects-laden extravaganza. Here’s a tip. If you have an exotic car and don’t have much experience in driving at the limit, do not choose a public location to try out your supposed “drifting” skills. You might kill someone, but more importantly, embarrass yourself. It is pretty much understood that most people buying a supercar likely has no comprehension of how to drive one. A guy named Any House from Texas just proved it on video, claiming he was hit by an invisible pelican, forcing him to plow his car into a salt-water lake. However, the story only gets [...] A CGI amateur from Azerbaijan went ahead and created this elaborate computer-generated randomness of a video, featuring a Chevy Camaro, a modded Ford Mustang, a Russian VAZ and our all-time favourite 4×4, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. An Apache attack helicopter shows up in it too. While not exactly realistic, it could be inspiration for budding [...] The BMW X1 crossover is the German manufacturer’s latest offering. Check out the largely-robotic production line that puts together the vehicle. About 42 hours after Highcroft Acura driver Scott Sharp walked away from a crash during practice for the Petit Le Mans racing event in the United States, a freshly-built Acura ARX-02a was rolled out for the morning warmup on Saturday. The Highcroft crew put in marathon sessions of work, totalling 20 hours, to build a [...] Honda has developed a new “personal mobility technology,” naming it the U3-X. The experimental unicycle is designed to provide free movement in all directions just like human walking, including side-to-side and diagonally. The U3-X makes it possible to adjust speed, move, turn and stop in all directions when the rider leans their upper body to [...] This test was done to celebrate the U.S. IIHS safety institute’s 50th anniversary. The IIHS is a non-government organisation that conducts crash tests on new cars. It is generally accepted that today’s cars are softer and crumple more easily, compared to the hard-boned cars of olden days. So they decided to pit a 2009 Chevrolet [...] As a purveyor of quick-cut videos with cheesy music myself, here is an official video of the all-new 2010 Hyundai Tucson ix35, with background music featuring one of Britney Spears’ catchy new songs that I don’t know the name of. What caught me was the ridiculous ‘SUV’ tag-line at the end. Interesting European TV ad for the Opel Antara crossover, which incidentally is on sale in the UAE, but no one knows about it. And even if some people did know about it, they rightfully avoid it. A wild horse collided with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally car, causing the animal to be catapulted 9 metres into the air, during the Argentine Rally in South America. Driver Federico Villagra slammed his rally car straight into the horse, which was seriously injured and had to be put down. Two other horses narrowly avoided [...] The little boxy Toyota bB, known as the Scion xB in America, can become a fun tool to drive the cops crazy. This here is a crash test of a 1978 Holden at 100 kph. Crash tests nowadays are done at only 56 kph, so the damage seen here is much higher. Keeping in mind that cars back then had even stronger bodies than today’s collapsible cars, and you have an idea of how many pieces you [...] While the first-generation BMW M3 E30 was a regular in the touring car racing scene, few would expect the original M3 to play in the rally circuit as well. This is video footage of Patrick Snijers at the Manx Rally in 1988. |
