Founding member of the Supercar Majlis owners’ club, the largest supercar owners collective in the Middle East, and celebrated entrepreneur Qais Sedki experienced the thrill of McLaren’s first series-production High-Performance Hybrid supercar, Artura, at the Pure McLaren track day in Silverstone - the iconic circuit considered the Home of British Motor Racing, and a long-term fixture on the Formula 1 calendar.
Also known by his Instagram handle, Gloves in Gray, Qais swapped his beloved McLaren 765LT, personalized by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), for the wheel of the Artura, taking part in a day of on-track action and professional instruction from McLaren pro driver, former British GT and European GT4 Champion, Joe Osborne. And Qais came away with nothing but praise for the Artura’s stunning dynamic capabilities and compact, lightweight V6 hybrid powertrain.
“This car’s power delivery is fantastic, very linear, I’m loving it! We’re in ‘Track-Track ‘mode, Track on handling, Track on powertrain, ESC dynamic, and it is such a playful car. This is the sort of car that’s very confidence building.
I am thoroughly enjoying this circuit, and the fact that we have the torque infil from this hybrid system as well. It’s just a fantastic, good fun car to drive.”
Underpinned by the McLaren philosophy of super-lightweight engineering, the Artura is the first model to utilise the all-new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) uniquely optimised for hybrids. The all-new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine with an E-motor produces a combined output of 671bhp and 531 lb-ft. of torque, while the 94bhp E-motor delivers instant torque of 166lb-ft, ensuring the sharpest-ever throttle response from a McLaren with 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds. Performance is further boosted with a curb weight of just 3,303lbs, the lightest in its class.

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.
