The McLaren 675LT is the limited-edition “Long Tail” version of the 650S, featuring lighter weight, more power and extra-aggressive styling. With only 500 being built in this coupe form, the car already sold out within months of its debut this summer. So it came as a surprise that McLaren offered us an all-too-brief test-drive with one.
Infiniti has officially unveiled the new 2016 Q50 with a host of new engine options, one of which is a twin-turbo V6 pumping out 400hp.
If there is such a thing as a start-up among luxury car brands, Infiniti would be one of them. Created at around the same time as Lexus a quarter of a century ago, Infiniti never really made an impact on the automotive landscape until about a decade ago. Since then, there have been a few somewhat interesting cars, and many that were mistaken for just warmed-over versions of Nissans. And then there was that whole naming-system change. The new Infiniti Q50 is the only actual new model that isn’t just a ‘Q’ rebadge of an old model. It’s been out for more than a year,
Let’s get the obvious out of the way. This is the new Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce Roadster. Is it very very fast? Yes it is. Is it a good handler? Yes, if you’re brave enough to push Dhs 2.5 million of carbon-fibre car around a corner. Does it look good? Clearly. Does it have a very long name? Yes it does. Now with that out of the way, what is it like to drive a Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SuperVeloce Roadster on the streets of Dubai for half a day? More adventurous than you think.
Here’s some good news for car owners in the UAE. The Supreme Committee for Consumer Protection at the Ministry of Economy has recommended that the warranty of vehicles shouldn’t be affected irrespective of where the vehicle is serviced. That means owners of new cars will soon be able to service their cars at any garage instead of getting ripped off by the dealer, without voiding the warranty.
Hyundai, who had recently announced that “Genesis” would be the stand-alone brand for their luxury models, has officially revealed the G90 as its new flagship, replacing the Hyundai Centennial.
American pickup trucks have evolved from being just utilitarian workhorses to something completely in a class of their own. Big, bold and powerful, they are icons with reputations built over more than half a century. Nowadays, you can outfit them as anything from barebones work-trucks to complete luxury cars, so all you ever need is one vehicle in your life. Still, innovation has not been a strong suit of the pickup-truck industry over the years, but a bombshell was dropped recently in the form of the all-new Ford F-150, and it’s a complete game-changer compared to the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500.
McLaren has officially unveiled the new 675LT Spider; a hard-top convertible version of the 675LT coupe. The 675LT breed of supercars are intended to be track focused versions of the 650S.
Let’s be honest, tyres aren’t sexy. They might be arguably the most vital component in your vehicle -– seeing as they provide the sole contact point between it and terra firma -– yet they’re probably not something you devote a whole lot of thought to.
Honda is better known as a maker of Civics and Accords nowadays, and anyone other than Honda salesmen will have a tough time trying to remember if they sell anything else. However, they do offer a midsize 4×4 called the Pilot, a model that had been chugging along virtually unchanged since the last recession. It wasn’t particularly good at anything either, so we were keen to see how Honda has gone about bringing the all-new 2016 Pilot bang up to date in our all-too-brief time with the car.
