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.

Continental is the fourth largest tyre manufacturer in the world. The German-based brand launched in the UAE in 2009 when they partnered up with Emirates for Universal Tyres (EUT), part of the Abdulla Al Masood and Sons (AMS) Group, to become the sole distributor.

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.
