Al Tayer Motors brings high octane motoring to NOFILTERDXB

What’s your definition of a paradise? Do paradises on earth even exist? Certainly, and in Dubai. This place offers gushing thrill of fast cars, dune-bashing SUVs, sleeper sedans that can make GTs feel ignominious of their existence and finally, frugal but pragmatic everyday cars which befit the parsimonious people and when needed, can transition themselves into consummate highway mile-munchers as well. 

Evocative of its rich heritage for the most unique (and some obnoxious) cars on the planet, it provides an occult experience to everyone who lands his feet on this honourable land. One of the most landmark events happening in the year is #NOFILTERDXB, a car and fashion event aiming to stun the audience and show the automobile and haute-couture prowess achieved by the nation in these 5 decades that it received independence.

Held in Dubai between the 24th November and 27th November at Dubai Harbour, the Al Tayer Group thought of it as a quintessential opportunity to showcase its diverse realms in the form of high-performance cars which set the dais ablaze at the event. These automotive icons which are known to defy the laws of physics comprised everything from brawny and potent SUVs to high-performance pickups and cars built for the rarefied community.

Starting with the Maserati Levante Hybrid, it is the brand’s premier and maiden hybrid-SUV offering which is going to be a ground-breaking leap towards adopting electrification. It’s been harangued as ‘Faster. Greener. Unique’ and dazzled the crowd with its Italian flair and bulky haunches besides the trident logo. It possesses some record-breaking figures to write home about but most importantly, it is an SUV which doesn’t dispose off its innate Maserati traits of providing intense paces and agility while instilling plush interiors and a comfy ride at the same time.

Next up, is the big daddy from Ford, the F-150 Raptor which has tutored itself to become even more dexterous in dealing with obstacles that impede its off-road poise and locomotion. With several terrain modes such as Normal, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul, Off-Road, Baja and Rock Crawl, it has the courage to manoeuvre through all kinds of road surfaces. Along with its 5-link rear suspension and a segment-first dual valve exhausts, it has the go to match the mammoth dimensions. 

Taking a drastically different take on performance, was the brand-new Land Rover Range Rover which is an epitome of opulence, performance, charm and capability. An all-rounder, the new iteration of the flagship makes an astounding attempt at making other SUVs in its class appear rife with its massive suite of convenience tech and impeccable materials used on the inside. On show, were two trims, first one was the SE trim carrying the proportions of the standard wheelbase model and housing an I6 engine at its heart followed by the most bonkers of its range SVO model shod with a V8 engine and long wheelbase guise. Where the former came painted in Batumi Gold with Ebony fabric interior, the latter sported Icy White integument and leather the shade of Caraway.

Ford Bronco, a highly coveted and iconic nameplate, recuperated after decades, has already forayed into the UAE and shared the land with the stars at the event. The full-blown 4X4 provides a thrilling driving experience and retains the old-school aura of its previous aeon while blending modern design characteristics of Ford vehicles. Cutting-edge features and technology along with 2 and 4-door body style formats and a scornful 150 accessory list, the Ford Bronco is a formidable consideration which can be a show-stopper wherever it goes.

Stealing some light from the penultimate car, the Lincoln Navigator and Aviator models were also there on display depicting the spaciousness on the outside and grandeur and extravagance on the inside. These 4X4s are some of the finest statements from Lincoln which deserve this space and a lot more.

There’s no apprehension behind the fact that #NOFILTERDXB is an event which people in spates witnessed and drafted an impression which is only going to attract a wider audience and even better exhibitions spouting solid drama to entice the visitors.
