We’ve not heard much about Daihatsu in the recent past. There’s the Sirion, there’s the Terios and that’s pretty much it. However, things are going to be spiced up a bit, as they are all set to make a sporting comeback with the new Kopen, shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show this week.
The Los Angeles Auto Show is one of the smaller global motorshows, but still one of the important ones. At the 2013 edition of the show, which kicked off on the 20th of November, there are several world debuts, such as the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the Porsche Macan, the Range Rover LWB, the Chevrolet Colorado and the Subaru WRX. Concepts include the Ford Edge, the Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo, the Nissan Sentra Nismo and the Youabian Puma. Photos by Newspress.
Sony Middle East has just launched the new Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V in the UAE. It will be going against the mighty GoPro Hero3 Black Edition, the popular choice for consumers to film and record extreme action videos. We were invited to try out the new Sony Action Cam at the Dubai Kartdrome.
You’ve probably heard that the Jaguar F-Type Coupe just had its world debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show this morning. What you didn’t know is that it had its UAE debut this morning as well!
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.
