Alfa Romeo isn’t exactly a very popular brand in the GCC. But it should be, now that the Giulietta’s appeared in Fast & Furious 6 as the car that took down a cargo plane on the world’s longest runway. Incidentally, we took the car for a run just a week before the premiere of that movie in Dubai, which we attended courtesy of tickets from Chrysler-Fiat.
The parade of fancy cars from Dubai Police hasn’t ended yet, as uncredited photos have emerged of a BMW 6-Series and a Ford Mustang, in full police livery.
BMW officially unveiled their Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe Concept model at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este (translated as Competition of Elegance of Villa d’Este), a show where every year about 50 vintage models compete for the best historic car.
A couple of new cars were launched in the last few weeks and a couple of cars will be launched in the coming few weeks, almost all fresh nameplates for the GCC, and all revealed at events in the UAE.
The Bentley Continental GT is among our most favourite cars we’ve ever driven. It looks great, drives great, and offers just the right amount of balance between performance, practicality and flamboyance.

After continuously giving us sneak peaks, Mercedes-Benz have finally revealed the 2014 S-Class. Slightly taller and wider, the new S-Class features a front fascia with a bigger front radiator grille and a slanting rear end. Under the skin, it gets a host of new technologies.
The all-new 2014 Peugeot 308 has just been revealed in photos, now featuring a nameplate that does not increase by +1 with the new generation as well as a new design language.
The Renault Duster was surely a surprise package when it was first introduced GCC-wide in 2012, largely because of its minimal price-tag and the fact that it fell into the ‘SUV’ segment in terms of size. DC Designs, an automobile modification company from India, has extensively modified the Duster for the better.
Porsche recently revealed the new 911 Turbo and Turbo S models, which are set to make its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
As if the Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari FF cop cars weren’t enough, Dubai Police has gone ahead and added an Aston Martin One-77 to their fleet. Also seen in full police livery are a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as well as a Bentley Continental GT.
