Issue 712 out on February 10 “You won’t find the Ecoboost V6 under the pumped up bonnet; the F-150 Shelby features Ford’s 5.0-litre V8 and it’s supercharged to produce an astonishing 755 horses Take that, Raptor!” ET G T ’ N A C OF H G U O N E ? heels w LETTER OF THE WEEK I joined a friend of mine for the Gulf News Fun Drive last weekend and had the best time! In fact, I did not expect it would be as exciting as it turned out to be if I am being totally honest It far exceeded my expectations and am already looking forward to next year I have been on several desert drives with respected tour operators in Dubai and enjoyed them all — but never to the extent in which I enjoyed the 38th Gulf News Fun Drive I think what made it so special was the sheer number of cars and people that attended; I SUPER SUPRA The new Supra has been revealed and I like the new look I’m a huge fan of the model (I’ve owned several of these iconic Toyotas in the past) and I’m looking forward to getting a closer look at the newbie I think it will be excellent to believe there were close to 1,000 vehicles participating in the event That is a huge number My friend and I came to the rescue of half a dozen drivers who had got themselves stuck and the camaraderie between all the drivers and marshals (and those who arranged the event) was simply superb — it really felt like a huge family mucking about in the desert! I made so many new friends, saw some breathtaking sights and learnt lots of new offroad driving skills too I am so glad I went AHMED KHAN drive since it shares the same platform and drivetrain as the BMW Z4, and believe it’ll go on to be a huge sales success as the Ferrari 488 Pista that you guys featured in last week’s magazine (issue 710) and then flog it around the Dubai Autodrome I can just imagine how much of a thrill that would be; driving an exotic Italian supercar at full pelt — what a rush! Maybe if I ever win millions from the Big Ticket draw I can make this dream come true TOM WILSON DAVID HARPER DREAM RIDE I wish I was wealthy enough to be able to afford a supercar such ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK: NEW CARS TRENDS SPYSHOTS OPINION QUICK CHAT 2019 DETROIT MOTOR SHOW SHOW-OFFS The motoring extravaganza had it all from a plethora of EV concepts to the long-awaited return of the mighty Supra and everything else in between WORDS: GAUTAM SHARMA PHOTOS: SUPPLIED TOYOTA SUPRA Arguably the star of the show, the reborn Supra was finally unveiled following weeks of leaked images With bulging haunches and classic GT proportions, the new Toyota coupe — which shares its chassis and drivetrain with BMW’s latest Z4 — was honed by the company’s Gazoo Racing performance division Its 3.0-litre turbo six-pot belts out 335bhp and 490Nm, channelled to the rear hoops via an eight-speed auto NISSAN IMS CONCEPT Nissan’s stylish IMs concept is billed as an “elevated sports saloon”, with its jacked-up stance resulting from an underfloor battery pack for a full-electric powertrain that thumps out 476bhp and 800Nm The design study has an unusual ‘2+1+2’ cabin layout, whereby three occupants can sit in the rear, or the outer two pews can be folded to yield a throne-like centre seat 10 BMW SERIES NEW CARS UPDATED 14 ROYAL ENFIELD 650 TWINS INDUSTRY NEWS LAUNCHED IN THE UAE SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 Ford’s Shelby high-performance arm unleashed the GT500, touted as the fastest Mustang it has ever built Propelled by a supercharged 5.2-litre V8, it packs a 700bhp-plus wallop for a 0-100kph split in the 3sec range The GT500 also gets a seven-speed dual-clutch ’box, bespoke suspension with magnetorheological dampers, massive Brembo brakes, 20x11-inch alloys and a racecar-style rear wing Yummy! GAC ENTRANZE China’s GAC Motor has its sights set on the US market, and it signalled its intentions at Detroit by unveiling the futuristic Entranze full-electric crossover concept The seven-seater was conceived at the company’s California design studio and features unusual sliding glass doors There’s a tech bonanza inside with multiple OLED screens, while 90 per cent of the interior is crafted from cork LEXUS LC CONVERTIBLE We’re already familiar with Lexus’s LC500 coupe but get set for a drop-top derivative that lands here in 2020 Unveiled in ‘concept’ form at Detroit, the LC Convertible is arguably even more visually striking than its fixed-roof counterpart You could think of it as a more wallet-friendly alternative to the Mercedes S-Class Convertible, Porsche 911 Cabrio and Ferrari Portofino CADILLAC XT6 The premium American brand recently bolstered its SUV line-up with the XT4 and XT5, and now comes the eightseat XT6 that sits below the gargantuan Escalade in Caddy’s line-up With edgy styling that mimics its smaller brothers, the XT6 is propelled by a 3.6-litre 310bhp V6 mated to a nine-speed auto Standard models will be front-drive, with AWD available as an option KIA TELLURIDE The eight-seater Telluride is billed as Kia’s largest SUV to date, and its funky styling sets it apart from anything the brand has given us so far Like its Hyundai Palisade cousin, the Telluride is powered by a 291bhp 3.8-litre V6, and it’s offered in front-drive and AWD formats Goodies on offer will include a 10.25in touchscreen and 630-watt Harman Kardon sound system VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT VW’s centrepiece is the second-gen Passat, which retains its predecessor’s platform, but sports fresh new styling characterised by a thrusting chrome grille and sporty front fascia The cabin has also been smartened up and standard safety kit in the newbie includes Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring Power comes from a 174bhp 2.0-litre turbo motor mated to a six-speed auto FORD EXPLORER Ford’s new sixth-gen Explorer turned heads with its clean styling, plus the fact the ST performance flagship packs a 400bhp punch from its twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 However, base models get the same 2.3-litre four-pot turbo that’s offered in the Mustang It promises a sporty drive, as the Explorer will be available with rear-wheel-drive (most rivals are front-drive in standard form) INFINITI QX INSPIRATION CONCEPT Infiniti encountered a slight snag with its QX Inspiration as the electrified SUV concept initially didn’t make it onto the stage due to a technical glitch However, it got there eventually, giving showgoers a preview of the brand’s future design language Infiniti claims the QX concept serves up “blistering off-the-line acceleration” from its twin electric motors and a “lounge-like” cabin 2019 BMW SERIES BMW UPS LIMO ANTE The Munich carmaker’s flagship saloon gets an extensive revamp aimed at boosting its appeal and taking the fight to the Mercedes S-Class WORDS: GAUTAM SHARMA PHOTOS: SUPPLIED B MW crammed its current-gen Series with a host of clever tech when it launched in 2015, yet the flagship Bimmer has lived in the shadow of the funkier MercedesBenz S-Class in the sales race The Bavarian brand’s brains trust hasn’t taken too kindly to this, and the result is the vehicle you see pictured here It’s the most extensive mid-life revamp any of the six generations of the Series have been subjected to, with a raft of upgrades both inside and outside to boost the limo’s appeal The first thing you’re likely to notice is that massive grille up front, and this is becoming a BMW trademark of late, with both the X5 and X7 SUVs also sporting XXL nostrils in an attempt to visually distance them from their competitors In the case of the Series, the big grille is all the more prominent due to the contrast created by a new headlight cluster that’s slimmer than before The standard beams 10 CLASSIC CORNER 1994 FERRARI F512 M This was the ultimate iteration of the Testarossa and a fitting final salutation to the iconic flat 12-cylinder Italian sportscar WORDS: IMRAN MALIK S ome felt the new nose, front and rear lights, along with the turbinestyle alloys was just a bit of ‘tinsel’ — but this last-ditch effort by Ferrari ensured the Testarossa, now over a decade old, bowed out with a bang The final iteration of its famed flat 12-cylinder mid-engine sportscar was called the F512 M with the letter standing for Modificata, which, as you probably guessed is Italian for “modified” Ferrari updated the design over its predecessor, the 512 TR, by giving it exposed headlights, an oval shaped grille, revised tail lights and skewed five-spoke wheels It retained the iconic slatted side intakes and gained more power; the 4.9-litre motor was updated with new titanium connecting rods and a redesigned crankshaft to help it produce 440bhp at 6,750rpm and 500Nm of torque at 5,500rpm It’s top speed remained the same as before at 315kph but thanks to its near 50/50 weight distribution, the F512 M offered far better handling Today, it is one of the rarest ‘modern’ Ferraris and what with just 501 units built, low mile examples tend to fetch around Dh1.5 million at auction, which is double what they cost back in 1994 38 LONG-TERM REVIEW 2018 INFINITI QX80 SO LONG Our long-termer finally leaves wheels HQ — what did we make of it? WORDS AND PHOTOS: SONY THOMAS WEEK t’s been six weeks already and that means it’s time to bid farewell to the QX80 and it leaves behind mostly good impressions Despite its age showing in certain areas, our time with the Infiniti has reinforced our decision to select it as the Best Premium SUV at the wheels Car of the Year awards early last year Its strong, proven underpinnings shared with the Y62 Nissan Patrol, spacious and luxuriously appointed interior and the 400bhp, 560Nm naturally aspirated 5.6-litre V8 engine all combine well to make it one of the best large premium SUVs on the market today While it was already selling well here, the makeover that the current model has received increases its appeal, and makes it an even more attractive proposition than the Nissan Patrol thanks to its more unique appearance and the imposing faỗade While the upscale cabin has abundant room for passengers, we had previously noted that cargo space is a bit limited with all three rows of seats up However, I this week I had to take visiting family to the airport and the QX80 effortlessly devoured two suitcases, along with a 49in television and a sound system in their respective cartons and still accommodated four adults in comfort The other minor complaints we had were the lack of features such as softclose doors and auto folding side mirrors It is understandable that incorporating these into a mid-cycle update could have been a challenge, but we hope the next generational update will feature all these as standard Overall, the Infiniti QX80 is a great buy for someone who wants to get all the goodness of a Patrol, but wants his ride to stand out from the crowd of ubiquitous Nissans DRIVEN BY SONY START MILEAGE 13,232KM RECENT COST FUEL AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 17.1 LITRES PER

fastest, most powerful car ever produced by GM and gives the a lot of supercars a run for their millions (for a fraction of the price too we might add) thanks to its 650 horsepower 6.2-litre supercharged V8 You better become friends with your nearest tyre supplier; it has 881Nm of tyre melting (literally) torque and can be had with a seven-speed manual to 100kph takes just 3.8 seconds, it handles like it’s on rails (the magnetorheological shock absorbers deliver a sporty but livable ride) and looks absolutely fabulous You need to be on your best day to handle this formidable beast — but its wild nature just adds to its overall allure 41 TYPE FERRARI 488 GTB 488 SPIDER 812 SUPERFAST GTC4 LUSSO GTC4LUSSO T PORTOFINO HATCH HATCH HATCH/ CABRIO SALOON SALOON SALOON HATCH HATCH CUV

so to get it right in its first go is an impressive achievement With performance tuning expert Albert Biermann (the former head of engineering at BMW’s M division ) taking care of the Stinger GT’s driving dynamics, and with it producing 370bhp from its twinturbocharged 3.3-litre V6, the Kia has a lot going for it when it comes to affording an exhilarating drive And, it’s affordable too — compared to the models from well-established brands with storied pasts that it goes up against and can stand shoulder to shoulder with This handsome, potent performance fastback makes for a truly compelling case for itself 200/320 200/320 250/365 250/365 380/450 250/365 250/365 250/365 250/365 250/365 380/450 340/450 340/450 340/450 200/320 200/320 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 8A 9A

customised with a wolf design theme He tells us more about his awesome Dodge WORDS: IMRAN MALIK PHOTOS: STEFAN LINDEQUE NAME MARTIN BARLOW JOB OPERATION SUPPORT SPECIALIST FOR AN OIL COMPANY FROM SCOTLAND WHEELS 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT IN THE UAE YEARS Welcome to wheels, Martin That is an awesome looking Challenger you’ve got there; tell us about it… Thanks for featuring me in wheels! I have always had a love for American muscle cars and living in a country now where I could get one, I jumped at the chance when I came across this at the Dodge dealership in Abu Dhabi I just fell in love with it and so I bought it It’s been mine for two years I looked at the Charger but it didn’t quite make the grade as the retro looks of the Challenger won me over hands down It has since been heavily customised 46 and it looks great; tell us from start to finish all of the work that you have had done to it… I wanted to give it a more aggressive look and so I opted for a unique design theme; you’ll notice that it says Faol on the car in a few places — this means wolf in Gaelic — and this is the native language of Scotland I wanted it to look like a wolf had walked through it so I had claw marks airbrushed on the front and rear of the car To achieve the look I was after, I first had the original sticker stripes removed and repainted on with red pin stripes I also painted stripes on the profile to give it that old school Challenger look Then, I spruced up the engine bay with some custom air brushing including wolf foot prints and splatters of ‘blood’! Next was a custom carbon fibre splitter and rear spoiler and finally I rounded the exterior off with a new set of custom painted wheels with hand machined wheel spacers all round and the brake callipers were also re-painted golden Now, people are amazed at the work done on the car, especially the engine bay and the boot — where the wolf now resides! In fact, that wolf head is the centre piece of the car, it’s a 3D hand made head and it has been known to frighten many kids at car shows! The reactions that my car creates is always entertaining and overall, I am very proud of it and very humbled by the attention it gets It makes all the hard work feel worthwhile It really stands out now but you didn’t “I spruced up the engine bay with some custom air brushing including wolf foot prints and splatters of ‘blood’!” 47 “At the moment it makes 485bhp but I want to increase this by turbo charging it and the magic number I have in my head would be 1,000bhp!” 48 stop there — you ensured that it had the go to match the show… That’s right, I wanted more power and so I added a custom cold air intake by UGR which improved the throttle response and also I removed the muffler and added UGR carbon fibre exhaust tips I must say it sounds fabulous when I floor it now! I bet it does — nothing beats straight pipes! You also fettled with the chassis, right? Yes, I wanted to improve the ride so I got an air suspension installed; it did the trick and I can adjust the ride height of my car — for shows it’s as low as it will go! I also had some custom lighting in the engine bay and boot added, and I gave it a pair of Oracle headlights Last but not least I upgraded the sound system with custom speaker boxes and airbrushing I still have plans for it such as custom wide body kit with new, deep dish wheels and maybe more work to further improve the sound system Also, I would love to add a twin turbo charger to the car but that would be far in the future As it is, it is amazing fun to drive and I love the power it produces Speaking of power, how much does it produce? At the moment it makes 485bhp but I want to increase this by turbo charging it and the magic number I have in my head would be 1,000bhp! You must tell us if you ever reach that colossal figure! Take us back to how your passion for motoring began… It began from my father, he had a love for cars and it was just something that I lived with from an early age from watching F1 to then seeing the modified car scene back in Scotland and I wanted to be part of it My first car was a 1987 Golf GTI MK2; this was a learning curve for me as I re-built the engine etc but unfortunately my talents at the time were zero and I ended up blowing the motor up! I have owned over twenty cars since then and every one of them had some sort of modification done to it I just can’t help myself! What’s the best car you have ever driven or had a ride in? Best so far for me was being able to have a ride in a Bugatti Veyron I never got to drive it, but just being in that car was special enough for me Finally, what is your dream car? This has to be the Dodge Challenger Demon; the power and the looks of this car is just insane Also, I would love to own a 1971 Challenger and modify it the same way as my current Challenger GOT A HOT RIDE?

Customers are wary of buying a new car at the best of times but you wouldn’t blame them if they turned a blind eye at the Daihatsu which bore a name that translated to “an absurd pretence intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance” Oops There have been countless others such as the Pontiac Parisienne (“French lady from Paris”) and arguably the most bizarre of the lot — the Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard Japanese car names deserve a page all to themselves, but for now W we’re picking on Ford as it has made some right blunders in the past such as the unfortunately designated Escort (no, it wasn’t aimed at lonely gentleman in case you were wondering ) although it can’t compete in the name stakes with the Probe There was plenty wrong with this coupe — and it wasn’t just its invasive medical procedure-esque tag Introduced in 1989 and based on a Mazda platform, it was meant to be the next gen Mustang in the US but marketing a frontwheel drive sportscar without a V8 and Japanese ancestry proved tricky Across the pond in Europe, it had the equally unenvious task of replacing the muchloved Capri It failed on both counts The second gen, launched in 1993, found 120,000 homes but just a year later that number plummeted to 20,000 Several issues were to blame; brand new Probes would often stall at idle, their paint was reported to flake off and the brakes showed signs of heavy wear after just several hard stops Panel gaps on some models were huge, the ride was harsh and legroom in the back was terrible, however the real damage was done when the bigwigs sat down to come up with an epithet — which did nothing but conjure thoughts of aliens poking and probing away at us They may well come in peace, but they still want to know what’s going on in there; labelling the Ford after their favourite investigative technique wasn’t the best idea The Probe met its maker in 1997 and is a car the Blue Oval and everyone else (apart for those little green guys) would rather forget wrong with “There was plentyd it wasn’t an — this coupe edical just its invasive mtag ” e procedure-esqu GOT A MOTORING-RELATED WHINGE?
