Ramadan is a blessed season of self-restraint, prayer, fasting and charity – overall, a good time to polish and practise virtuous behaviour. This applies to driving habits too. Good behaviour and virtues do pay off anywhere, and on road the rewards could range from safer driving to better performance and improved fuel economy. Our Ramadan reading involves insights for drivers, with practical inputs from Nassib Nassar, Director Marketing & CRM – Volume Brands at Al Habtoor Motors.

Bestune T99 from automotive manufacturers FAW is a midsize 5 seater SUV that at first glance stands for everything good the Chinese car brands have brought into this market, and there seems to be a reason for it. In the last couple of years, the number of new car brands and novel designs on our roads has risen more than ever – most of them are Chinese brands that have set out on a mission to conquer the automotive world west of China. Along with those brands came a wizardry of sorts – of delivering gadgetry that could only be admired so far in premium cars; of design that brought a ..read more

Audi Vs Lancia RACE FOR GLORY Movie review 5.8/10

If George Orwell was a rally historian, his book would be titled 1983. That was the year in which intense rivalry was immortalised in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) by two legendary teams of the time. The Audi Vs Lancia battle was a war between Germany and Italy just as between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. Race for Glory: Audi vs Lancia by Stefano Mordini chronicles the war on wheels. Despite its disclaimer that it isn’t a true account in historical detail, the film tag states it is based on true events. The drama obviously needed filling in the blanks as in any event being r ..read more

Ferrari movie review: 7.0/10

2M ago
My passion for cars and movies are together celebrated in road and racing movies. At the “Need for Speed” festival at Roxy Cinemas, I watched a bunch of movies that tell the story of racing icons or iconic rivalries. The new movie Ferrari is remarkable as the story of a man and a machine – both legends. The making of movies about races and racers is vastly diverse. Some are essentially documentaries that are true to the details but sprinkled with situations or dialogues that are ‘overheard in the screenplay writer’s dream’ in order to build cinematic bridges. For example, “Race to Glory: Aud ..read more

Pole to Pole EV expedition reaches South Pole A pole-to-pole expedition set out to help raise global interest in electric mobility has achieved its goal when it came to a conclusion in Antarctica.

This is the first time any car, not just an electric vehicl ..read more

Toyota Urban Cruiser Neodrive review: Hybrid Standards

A subcompact crossover running on hybrid technology, Toyota Urban Cruiser Neodrive woos the urban driver with its promise of nearly 20 kilometres per litre and a host of standard features that is unrivalled, if only for the lack of rivals in this entry-level segment. The Design Toyota Urban Cruiser would have looked like a overgrown hatchback, if not for the muscular body and somewhat elevated stance. Looking cool in dual tone colour, my test car was white-bodied with a glossy black roof, flaunting a roof spoiler and roof rails. Dimensions: L x W x H 4365 x 1795 x 1645 mm Wheel base 2600 mm ..read more
