For all those loyal fans who thought the S63 AMG, which was revealed a few months ago did not have enough oomph can now rejoice, because Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the twelve-cylinder beast of a car; the S65 AMG.
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.
Mini has released specs and images of the all-new Cooper and Cooper S hardtop model, set to release as a 2015 model. It is larger than its predecessor and features new engines as well.
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. This was one such car, which we later identified as a 1948 Porsche No.1 Type 356, spotted when we were out for a walk on one of Dubai’s artificial waterfronts.
Let’s be honest. The GCC car scene would never have been complete without Rolls Royce and their million dirham vehicles floating around with pride and stature. And it is obvious that Rolls Royce recognises that, as the Middle-East remains an important sales platform for the company till date. In any case, this should be why they are revealing their new ‘Ghawwass Edition’ Phantom Coupe.
The McLaren P1 is no joke by any means, as its sculpted design and bold stance was good enough to establish mental authority over many hypercars out there. But now it also proves to take on the competitors as they reveal the performance figures for the P1.
It’s obvious that Opel is busy this year as they came up with an updated Insignia OPC. However, clearly overshadowing the vehicle is the new Monza Concept, which is not just a collection of curves, but rather an art to behold. It was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Range Rover Evoque started off a trend that’s left every other luxury carmaker scrambling to jump on the swoopy-compact crossover bandwagon. The latest entrant in the field is the Lincoln MKC, part of the brand’s comeback line-up.
Another month, another Bentley. This GTC V8 is the fifth variant of the updated Bentley Continental GT we’ve driven in the past 18 months, and heck, it never gets old.
