Some of the supercars and stars from the Dubai Motor Show

Porsche 918 Spyder
One third of the ‘Holy Trinity’, Porsche’s hybrid hypercar proves that a classy design ages very well indeed. Bravo.

Fab Design Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Don’t see these very often, right? This one’s been tuned by Fab Design, because of course.

Jannarelly Design-1

Remember this? Clamshell-roofed supercar gets a home motor show spot. It’s built in Dubai, after all, and gets a Nissan V6. Nice.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Still got a soft-spot for the big-hearted, gullwinged Merc SLS.

Ferrari 488 Pista
Pista means track. The 488 Pista is exceptional on a track, yes, but can it do the daily grind? We found out, here.

Aston Martin One-77

Been a while since we’ve seen the gorgeous One-77. And with 77 built in total, will probably be a while before we see one again.

Hongqi L5

This is a simply marvellous Chinese limousine and we’re having zero arguments about that. 

INKAS Titan

It’s a very big, really very armoured car.

This too, has been armoured. INKAS told TG they strip the interior and retrofit all the armouring, so there’s no visual cues as to its capability. Apart from the really bloody heavy doors, which you won’t be able to blow off. Arf arf!

Jaguar I-Pace
Now for a little change of… um, pace. Jag’s electric SUV gets a prime spot on the Dubai show floor…

Land Rover Defender

… as does the new LR Defender.

BMW 7 Series

We’re not saying it. Nope. Nothing at all.

Chevrolet Corvette

The new mid-engined ‘Vette got a Middle Eastern debut, in this fetching colour combo. You lot still 50/50 on the looks?

Ferrari 512 BB

Now for something a little older… and so, so very cool. Oof.

Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina
Another entry from Maranello, here. V12s FTW.

Lamborghini Countach

Million dollar question here: classic old Countach, or…

Lamborghini Aventador

… lairy new Aventador?

Brabus Mercedes-AMG G-Class

Ah, nice and subtle from Brabus, as always.

Ferrari 812 Superfast

And last, but definitely not least, the 812. So ‘not least’, in fact. This thing is terrifyingly quick.
