Porsche has taken the wraps off the most powerful road-going 911 ever produced. Called the GT2 RS, it slips in as a halo model to the iconic sports car range which sold more than a million units since its inception 55 years ago.
McLaren has dropped the top on the 570S to create the first Spider model in its entry level “Sports” series. Joining the 675LT Spider and the 650S Spider from their “Super” series, the 570S Spider will offer air-in-the-hair motoring action at a slightly lower price.
The Volkswagen Polo hatchback was retracted from the GCC market in 2010 and since then, the German manufacturer hasn’t even spoken about bringing it back. And VW has now revealed the sixth generation of its popular supermini for the international market.
The new Land Rover Discovery is not a good-looking vehicle. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, remember that the current Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol and even Range Rover were received with equal hate from the general public, only for them to become “dream” cars for those same people in less than a year, and they both currently dominate the sales charts. In all likelihood, the Discovery will pull off the same feat, once everyone gets used to it. We were just about starting to warm up to it when we had one for a few days.
After the BMW 5-Series GT, the German luxury car manufacturer has reiterated the GT concept by adding it to the 6 Series range. The termination of the 6-Series Coupe has liberated a bit of room to accommodate the new addition. BMW hopes that the swooping coupe-ish lines of the 6 Series will revive the sales of the GT.
Porsche’s boffins at Stuttgart have revealed yet another 911 to sit on top of the already mental 911 Turbo S. Called the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series, the production numbers of this new variant does justice to its name as it is limited to 500 units.
When Volkswagen first debuted the Passat CC, it turned quite a few heads. Not only because it looked good, but also the question of “why?”, especially as the CC version was priced higher than an already-existing Passat. Lucky for us at that time, Volkswagen decided to help us understand the “why” question and offered us the VW Passat CC V6 for 5 months. If you had been following our reports back in 2011, you would probably know we bloody fell in love with that car. Power, handling, comfort and luxury in a more stylish package — it ticked all the right boxes and justified the price premium over the standard Passat.
Camouflaged prototypes of the upcoming BMW 8-Series, updated BMW X5 and the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV have been spotted in different parts of the UAE, sometimes even hanging out together as they are all part of the same company.
Sporting a gorgeous silhouette, the BMW 8-Series Concept debuted at the 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Minus a few details, the concept should pretty much represent the production BMW 8-Series that is expected to hit markets in 2018. Resurrecting the “8-Series” moniker, an M8 version has also already been announced, with the prototype shown at the ‘Ring.
Borgward Group AG, the formerly-defunct German auto manufacturer that was recently resurrected with the help of Chinese truck-maker Foton Motor, has appointed exclusive distributors across the GCC.
