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.
The all-new 2017 Infiniti Q60 premium sports coupe was recently launched in the UAE and GCC, with a drive event in Dubai as well as a launch event in Abu Dhabi.
Taiwan has some very strict laws that govern the trade of importing cars into the country. A person who owned a Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 learned it the hard way. Taiwanese authorities decided that to send a message to the people, the best way was to destroy the illegally-imported Italian supercar publicly in front of cameras. When a YouTube channel, J.K Photography, uploaded the video, it sent not just the message, but much heartbreak as well.

Everybody keeps asking us what’s the best offroader. And we generally dodge this question, because it really depends more on skill than any specific 4×4 model. Even crossovers can go offroad, as we have proven before. But if you are brave enough, you can even take an all-wheel-drive turbo hatchback on the big dunes. Here is a 353 hp Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG on the sand, not just casually strolling, but properly dune-bashing as if it were an offroad buggy.
