We missed out on covering this, well, “thing” during the Dubai Motor Show, but figured we should at least give it some column inches, if only because it is intended to grab headlines. This here is the Devel Sixteen, with a “Made in Dubai” tag and a claim of 5000 horses!
It is interesting that Honda has chosen India to launch the all-new version of the subcompact Honda City, which pretty much sums up their target market. The new model literally debuted just hours ago at a media event in New Delhi.

The 2015 Honda Civic Type-R is nearing the end of its development stage, to the point where journalists from around the world, including the GCC, have been invited to briefly test the prototype in Japan this week. Of course, we weren’t invited. But the reviews are already coming in.
Remember that fluorescent-yellow Dubai Civil Defence Chevrolet Corvette C6 with the big wing and light bar that used to roam the streets and show up at random events as a fully-functional publicity stunt? Well, the Fire Brigade’s got an upgrade in the form of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7, as we saw at the 2013 Dubai Air Show.
We don’t run around trying to get photos of ho-hum supercars. And we’ve never shown in real interest in classic cars either. But every once in a while, a car pops up that you just have to snap for posterity.
