It’s a pleasure to watch the red horse trotting along Jumeirah beach, pausing at signals or parking itself by the little malls for admiring eyes to feast on. Those strolling along The Walk at JBR could find their walk worthwhile if they get a fill of a Ferrari moving at …

Bentley Mulsanne Speed review: 18 feet, 8 heads and it roars…
Spitting fire from its oval exhausts and spinning 1100 Nm, the king of torque is an obvious title for the Bentley Mulsanne Speed. What made Bentley create a leviathan with such formidable power is the first question that pops up. Does the fastest Bentley make for an enjoyable drive is the next. UPSIDE: …

Ferrari 488 GTB Review: Ferrari with a twist
While Maranello has held out as the last bastion for the hard-core fans of naturally aspirated engines, its donjons have lowered their guard from time to time, only to raise the flag of performance. The 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO and the F40 have gone down in history as the fastest …
Rolls-Royce Black Badge: Driven and drooled over
Phantom. Silver Seraph. Ghost. Wraith. Starting with their names, there is a dark mystique that shrouds the Rolls-Royce motorcars, just as the impenetrable lives of their super-rich owners. If power and luxury had a colour, what else could it then be, but black? And if Drivemeonline were to celebrate the …
The Ferrari FF: Family or Ferrari first?
FF, in Maranello speak, stands for Four Seat or Four Wheel Drive. To me, it simply stands for the Family Ferrari because this is the only Fezza which can actually make space for a family of four. The Drive The FF isn’t a meek family carrier. While many of the …

If someone was legally declared insane, dangerously insane, preventing him from all social contact, he could still have one consolation – he could still drive the Nissan GT-R.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Review: A manual purist’s automatic nirvana
Aston Martin is a very different car. The V12 Vantage S is a very different Aston Martin. This car loves drama, and pausing for effect. The drama comes largely from the fact that Aston Martin’s smallest car is equipped with its most powerful V12 engine. The drama growls in your …
Bentley Continental GTC V8 Review: More fun per gallon
All the other cars in our building parking would have been fast asleep when my Bentley GTC arrived and climbed up the ramp. A blood curdling roar echoed across the lot, shaking off their slumber as a chill of fearsome respect ran down their axles. Even if not in this …
Aston Martin Rapide S 2014 review: Family Bond
At the headquarters, Agent Sophia handed over a rectangular capsule to me, which I presumed was an extra thick USB with encoded classified information. “Insert it deep into the centre slot till it aligns itself invisible”, she said, “that’s when the mission would begin”. I held the tiny glass capsule …
Maserati GranCabrio MC 2014 Review: Dolce Suono
It was in Venice, almost two hundred kms from Modena, the home of Maserati, that I watched Verdi’s masterpiece La Traviata. Driving the Maserati GranCabrio MC Sportline through Dubai airport tunnel, it appeared as though the entire repertoire of emotions in that opera had been captured by its sound. It …
