Ken Gushi drift king with the 86 at Laguna
It is well known that the soon to be legendary Toyota 86 is an iconic sports car born to be on the race track.
And few tracks are as iconic and legendary as Laguna Seca and its infamous corkscrew.
Ken Gushi was lucky enough to take not only a stock 86 up to the scenic hills of Monterey, CA but also an early prototype for his GReddy Racing 86 drift car!
Enjoy the beautiful lines of the 86
The highly anticipated Toyota 86 has finally been launched in the UAE, and much like the rest of the world, this super charged car market is super excited to be one of the first countries to be launching this explosive little rocket.
To illustrate the amazing handling capabilities of this future legend, Al-Futtaim Motors took the 86 to the twisty roads of Fujairah. Watch and enjoy the 86 do what it does best.
The above video was shot at a closed road, with a professional driver behind the wheel of the car. Just incase you are in the need for some desert driving tips, check out their website here.
2012 Honda CR-V is coming - time to get excited!
The Honda CR-V is a very familiar sight on our local roads. We have sold a bunch of them over the years and prove to be one of those great cross over cars that seems to tick a whole lot of boxes for a wide range of people.
The whole SUV market is a very interesting one, with the Honda CR-V leading the pack with it's clean lines and excellent functionality. The smooth road handling, extra space and ease of use features make it a great family car or the perfect car for someone that needs to move a whole lot of recreational gear around from time to time.
The all new 2012 model is soon to reach our shores - and given the hype and feedback this brand new model has received overseas we all have plenty to be excited about. There have been some exciting changes, big and small, to an already excellent car. We cant wait to get our hands on it at the beginning of July.
Prices start from $39,900 (+orc) with some great finance options available.
If you want to learn more in the meantime check out some of the reviews we have found on youtube.
