Officially launched under its exclusive UAE distributor, ALTAWKILAT, earlier this month, luxury brand Hongqi is making a strong entrance to the market with the All-New Hongqi Ousado. First revealed to the world through a grand inaugural reveal in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last month, the four-door luxury sedan can now be purchased from ALTAWKILAT at its Abu Dhabi-based facility.
The Hongqi Ousado is entering the market with a boldly designed exterior that is modern and streamlined to fully represent and deliver a luxurious driving experience. The car boasts performance of 223HP and maximum torque of 340NM, which grants the car acceleration from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in just 7.8 seconds.
The car also boasts a new four-cylinder, two-litre turbo engine. Providing drivers with a high-end experience, ultimate comfort and peace of mind, the Ousado has an ultra-high strength steel body with 2000MPa pressure compared to 1000MPa of its competitors.
The Hongqi Ousado is built with some of the most advanced safety features. Alongside front, rear, curtain and driver-knee protection with up to nine airbags, the luxury vehicle comes with multiple parking sensors and warning systems installed for driver and passenger protection alike.
It is truly a pleasure to finally be able to bring the new Hongqi Ousado to the UAE market, stated Eng. Mohamed Salahuddin Abduljawad, ALTAWKILAT Chairman and CEO. A luxurious driving experience is highly sought after in the UAE, and we are confident in Hongqi’s successful entry to the market in this regard.
Cheng Zhang, Director of Hongqi in the Middle East, commented: The Ousado model is our latest representation of what Hongqi stands for. We believe it is an excellent offering for those who are just beginning to step into the world of luxury vehicles. With the Ousado guarantee of excellent performance, safety and added convenience, we’re looking forward to welcoming new customers in the region who will enjoy a comfortable yet luxurious driving experience.

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.
