AGMC, the official BMW Group importer for Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, has delivered the ultimate luxury sports activity vehicle — the new BMW XM — to world-renowned footballer Andres Iniesta, in the UAE.
The handover took place at the BMW AGMC showroom in Ras Al Khaimah, where the power and elegance of the BMW XM were unveiled as the new car of choice for Iniesta, who has been a UAE resident since 2023.
The most powerful SUV ever produced by BMW M, the BMW XM is a masterpiece of innovation and high-performance engineering. The combination of a 4.4-litre BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine with a high-performance electric motor sets a new standard for what a luxury sports activity vehicle can be —delivering up to 653 horsepower. Making every drive an exhilarating experience, Iniesta can now enjoy the perfect blend of speed and efficiency on and off the field.
The choice of the BMW XM also reflects the Spanish midfielder’s commitment to excellence, as the first BMW M Plug-in Hybrid SUV which can travel almost 50km on all-electric power. The XM’s dual-engine capability ensures both thrilling top speed of 249 kmph — with a 0-100 mph acceleration in just 4.3 seconds — and efficient driving dynamics.
This plug-in hybrid SUV is not only powerful but also environmentally conscious, aligning with BMW's commitment to sustainable mobility.
Inside, the BMW XM showcases a luxurious and indulgent interior equipped with the latest technology. The BMW Curved Display with the iDrive 8 Operating System, Intelligent Personal Assistant, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility offer unparalleled connectivity and convenience. Safety is also at the forefront, with features such as Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation.
From its Illuminated Kidney Grille to the 23” BMW M wheels and angular quad exhaust, the BMW XM’s design elements harmonise to create a bold, commanding presence.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
