Nissan Middle East is now offering a VVIP version of its latest GT-R model. The 2012 Nissan GT-R is one of the fastest sports cars in the world, but it never had the material finish of its overpriced competitors from Germany and Italy. Pay for the VVIP edition though, and that becomes a non-issue.
BMW has unveiled their latest iteration of the BMW M6. Essentially an M5 with two doors, the M6 will first be released as a convertible, followed by a coupe a bit later.
The BMW 7-Series is the best-selling Bimmer in the Middle East, and apparently the best-selling full-size luxury sedan in this region too. But about a decade ago, BMW management had mentioned that there will never be an ‘M’ version of the 7-Series, because it did not go well with the rest of the ‘M’ line-up. Of course, since then there has been SUVs with the ‘M’ badge even while most M cars are now automatic, but the 7-Series had to make-do with just an ‘M Edition’ upgrade package. The latest version of the BMW 7-Series M Edition has just been launched for sale in the GCC.
The facelifted Lexus LX 570 debuted in the United States recently as the 2013 model, but the luxury full-size 4×4 has just been officially launched in the UAE, as a 2012 model.
BMW M, the German carmaker’s legendary performance subsidiary, has rolled out four new BMW M models, all set to debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show soon. However, the interesting news is that the new models are all diesel-powered vehicles, which happens to be the first ones ever to get the “M” treatment.
The Fiat 500 is a supermini that marked the return of the marque into the Middle East after nearly a decade. While the Fiat 500 did not seem to get enough attention in this part of the world, out in the European nations, it seems to be a hit. That probably is the reason why Fiat has decided to stretch the 500 to make a larger version, calling it the Fiat 500L – the ‘L’ stands for “Large”.
The all-new 2013 Ford Fusion midsize sedan has debuted at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, touting styling that seems to meld an Aston Martin front end with the rear of a Ford Mondeo. Interestingly, the same car will also be launched in Europe as the Ford Mondeo, so it remains to be seen what it will be called in GCC markets.
The 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser will receive a minor facelift. Japanese brochure images of the facelifted 4×4 have been floating around for a while now.
The latest masterpiece from AMG, the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, is the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, which debuted at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show as well as the 2011 Dubai Motor Show.
