Take the Ultimate Desert Road Trip with Lamborghini’s Serata Dubai

By
Serata Dubai Lamborghini
Lamborghini Club America

A few minutes behind the wheel of a Lamborghini would tick off a handful of bucket list must-dos for the average auto enthusiast. But, what about an exclusive, all-inclusive, superlative-filled road trip across some of the world’s fastest roads? That’s precisely what Serata Dubai is all about.

The inaugural event, hosted by Lamborghini Club of America, is a lavish, ultra-exclusive trip filled with experiences befitting the Lamborghini lifestyle. Maybe you’re unsure what that means because you don’t own an exotic Italian supercar (sorry to hear that). Consider that the event will take place over five action-packed days in Dubai, which should provide a clue. This is arguably the world’s most extravagant city where they built a 500-foot, gold-plated picture frame just because they could. Serata Dubai promises to be every bit as over the top.

Tour-goers will experience the biggest, the fastest, the highest, and the most luxurious things the Middle East has to offer. The trip kicks off with a gala dinner at the Burj Al Arab, the world’s self-proclaimed “only seven-star hotel.” Days will be spent cruising the deserts of the UAE, including a trip to Jebel Jais Mountain, the country’s highest point. The itinerary even includes a VIP Formula 1 Grand Prix experience, plus bonus time in the driver’s seat at a private Dubai Autodrome track event with Lamborghini’s former chief test driver Valentino Balboni. When not behind the wheel, drivers will visit the Armani Lounge for a gold cappuccino, enjoy lunch at the world’s highest restaurant inside the Burj Khalifa, trek the Arabian desert and dine with Bedouins, train in the classic sport of camel polo, and relax with a sunset dinner cruise aboard a world-class superyacht.

Lamborghini Club of America dates back to 1975. It was founded to honor Ferruccio Lamborghini who almost single-handedly defined the automaker’s legacy over the last fifty years. The club’s exclusive, world-class events include Super Trofeo and the annual Serata Italiana and Monterey, California meetups, all of which bring together the world’s most affluent exotic car collectors.

Serata Dubai is scheduled for November 21-26, 2019, to coincide with two of the world’s most notable automotive events: Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the Dubai International Motor Show. Interested road-trippers can request pricing through the Serata Dubai website. But, frankly, if you’re shopping seriously for this kind of ultra-luxe getaway, it’s difficult to imagine that money is an object. With only fifty seats available, it’s expected to sell out fast.

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
