BMW M5 ‘Ring taxi crashes (video)
If you’re not familiar with the ‘Ring taxi, it’s a product-placement BMW M5 that’s available for passenger rides around the famed Nurbrugring race-track in Germany, at a hefty €225 per person, and driven by a professional. But no matter how many times one drives the same track, mistakes are inevitable, as seen in this crash video.
So we got a 2015 Range Rover Evoque
Who would’ve thought that, 3 years ago when the Range Rover Evoque debuted, it was a sign of things to come, as the new face of Range Rover. Could it be that the Evoque is now the new “original” Range Rover? Anyway, our last experience with the Evoque wasn’t very satisfying, with its lethargic drivetrain and non-adjustable suspension in the mid-range version we drove. So we asked for it again, and this time, it’s equipped with a new 9-speed automatic and dynamic suspension.
First drive: 2014 McLaren 650S Spider in the UAE
“Why’s everybody staring?” asks my passenger. “Of course everybody’s staring. It’s a McLaren.” “But no one’s taking any pictures.” And that’s true. When we had the previous MP4-12C parked anywhere, it caused hordes of impromptu-paparazzi to teleport from out of nowhere to pose with the car and take photos. This time, our 650S Spider tester should’ve been even more of a selfie-attraction, with its P1-derived front-end and bright-orange paintjob. But based on what we noticed, maybe McLaren-fatigue is setting in among the general public, as the 650S doesn’t appear to be anything more than a facelift of a 2-year-old model.

Top 10 most researched luxury cars for Ramadan 2014
Last week we did a list of the top cars researched by our readers this Ramadan. This week we take a look at the top ten luxury cars that are in consideration by our more affluent visitors. These figures were pulled from our internal stats, with a heavy UAE bias since most of our traffic is from our home-base. We’ve also stuck to only true luxury brands, rather than fit in luxury cars from mainstream brands.
