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

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.

The heavenly F80: Ferrari’s newest halo car
The F80 is the fastest and most expensive yet
Ferrari F80

In our ever-expanding, attention-deficient world, we have been conditioned always to demand, "What's next?! " The lifecycles of every kind of product, from insulated water bottles to smartwatches, have slowly been cut down so that manufacturers can capitalize on the novelty of the next new thing. But there are tiers of reactions, depending on what that new item happens to be.

While a new iPhone or PlayStation typically raises exceptional amounts of fanfare among each's respective fan base, when it comes to a brand-new, top-tier Ferrari, the entire world stops and gasps at the sight of one. Even non-car people who don't fully understand what they're looking at will know the new Ferrari F80 is special. Picking up where it left off with the amazing SF90 Stradale and Spyder, Ferrari took what it learned about hybrid powertrains and literally and figuratively ratcheted up the power and performance to create the latest and greatest hyper-horse-halo-car.
The Ferrari F80 is the great, great-grandchild of the iconic F40

The 2024 Lincoln Corsair: Full-sized luxury in a neat little package
All the luxury touches of its big brothers, with a far better driving experience
Front 3/4 view of a black 2024 Lincoln Corsair on a bridge

When it comes to luxury SUVs, the three-row seems to be king. Everyone seems to opt for something mid-sized or full-sized, even if their friends and family won’t be taking up all seven seats or they won’t be transporting enough junk to justify the extended trunk space. But after spending a week in the 2024 Lincoln Corsair, I’m set on the fact it may be worth considering something smaller.

The comfort and luxury is all there, and the driving experience is far better overall. Plus, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the crossover segment may have more styling options than larger alternatives--which either go down the Land Cruiser or Range Rover route when it comes to appearances. The 2024 Corsair left a bit of an impression on me, and here are some reasons you may like it, too.
It packs a notable punch
