In a momentous celebration of the 52nd UAE National Day, Nissan Middle East has set a unique Guinness World Records™ title for the “Largest Tree Sentence”, with over 2,500 trees planted in Sharjah. This unique feat saw Cidra trees form a line from the first verse of the UAE National Anthem, “عاش اتحاد إماراتنا”, which translates to " The unity of our Emirates lives".
Aligned with UAE’s Year of Sustainability and Nissan’s long-term sustainability goals, the record-breaking endeavor involved the collective efforts of over 100 Nissan employees, joined by members from Al Masaood Automobiles and Arabian Automobiles Company, Nissan’s exclusive dealers in Abu Dhabi & Al Ain, and Dubai & Northern Emirates respectively. The coveted Guinness World Record certificate was presented by officials to Thierry Sabbagh, President of Nissan and INFINITI in the Middle East.
Thierry Sabbagh President, Nissan Saudi Arabia, INFINITI Middle East and Managing Director, Nissan Middle East, expressed: "This Guinness World Records™ title is a testament to Nissan's commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact on the environment and within the communities that we operate in. We are proud to be a part of a record that reflects the UAE’s enduring spirit of unity, and our belief in the power of collective action. This nation has been home to our regional headquarters for nearly thirty years, and we look forward to working alongside our esteemed local partners to continue defying ordinary for years to come.”
This achievement marks the seventh Guinness World Records™ title for Nissan Middle East. In a previous feat in 2013, Nissan broke the record for the “heaviest aircraft pulled by a production vehicle” when the Patrol towed a 170-ton Ilyushin-76 cargo plane, for over 50 meters at Sharjah International Airport. In 2018, a fleet of 180 Patrols set a record for the largest synchronized car dance in Dubai, forming the figure of a flying falcon.
This newest record reflects Nissan’s growing focus on sustainability both globally and regionally, in line with its global ambition to achieve carbon neutrality throughout the company’s operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050. Within the region, Nissan’s commitment to sustainability has been exemplified by its partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai as the Official Automotive Partner, along with its recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ENGIE Solutions GCC to build a solar energy system at its regional headquarters in Dubai. As part of this collaboration, 700,000 KWh of clean energy will be produced annually to assist company operations, the equivalent of offsetting 333 tons of CO2 emissions.

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.
