Maserati’s GranTurismo has now been soldiering on for 10 years, but the stylish coupe – and cabrio – have now come in for a final round of upgrades to keep the car fresh until an all-new replacement finally arrives over the coming year or two.
British manufacturer Lotus recently revealed Evora GT430 4-seater. The GT430 is the most hardcore model from Lotus and it sports a 3.5-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine.
Rolls-Royce has updated their flagship Phantom with more luxury packed into it than ever before. The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom’s brochure was leaked a few weeks ago which gave us a hint of what it was going to look like, prior to its reveal.
Jaguar is on a run, churning out car after car. The XE SV Project 8 that was released a few days ago was the British manufacturer’s answer to the compact sedans from the Mercedes AMG and BMW M division. And now they have turned their attention towards their full-size sedan, the XJ. Jaguar has given the XJ a bunch of performance updates to create the 2018 Jaguar XJR575 Super Sedan.
BMW has given the 1-Series hatchback a nip and tuck for 2018, months ahead of the release of their next-generation model. This will act as a swan song to the RWD hatchback as the next-gen model will have a Front-Wheel Drive layout. The refreshed model will be sold in 3 and 5 door versions.
Emirates Driving Institute (EDI) in the UAE announced the launch of its “Platinum Driving Course” a few months ago, where well-heeled customers can learn how to drive on a fleet of premium cars instead of the usual Nissan Sunnys. And we got the chance to go back to school to try it out.

Jaguar has launched a new sub-compact crossover to accompany the F-Pace in its lineup. The new model called the E-Pace will lock horns with the trio from Germany, Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3 and the BMW X1.

Yanking a silk sheet off a car at ‘grand reveals’ is so old-hat. Audi obviously thinks so, and didn’t resort to this old chestnut for the first public appearance of its Merc S-Class/BMW 7 Series-baiting A8 limo. Instead, the Ingolstadt carmaker spun the debutant around like a Tonka Toy on a giant robotic arm. It was all part of the glitz and glamour of the ‘Audi Summit’ in Barcelona – a four-ringed extravaganza where the brand aimed to put the focus on its plans for future mobility, autonomous driving…and basically anything other than diesel scandals.
