Abu Dhabi AMGs

I was in UAE for the last week and saw a bunch of AMGs as you might expect. The funny thing is that I also saw a bunch of CLS500 AMGs and I don't believe AMG ever made that model?

I saw a Paladium Silver C63 that looked very nice with a decal on the back window that read "Titanium", parked across from the Abu Dhabi Hilton.

There was also a crazy Brabus (C63?) that said K8 where the AMG badge goes on the back and it had 6 tailpipes!

What city? *edit* I should have reread the title lol. A close friend of mine is contracted there in Dubai to work on their power companies and takes that main road in dubai everyday to work...never a shortage of lambos/ferraris/AMG's, etc, etc. He says that fixed up Toyota Prado 's or ridiculously fast Nissan Patrols are pretty popular there too

Yeah, lots of suped up SUVs and we saw a lot of Land Cruisers that were really screaming around town. Also saw my first Nissan GT-R in person.

Yeah, Brabus makes a six pipe! Pretty weird looking on their website...you need a pretty wide back end, like on a Lambo, to pull something like that off nicely...but what was your opinion?

I was wondering about how hard they enforce speeding since there were several people going really fast on the roads. I asked our driver and he said they have a 120km speed limit that is enforced pretty stiffly. He said that it is a flat fine for a certain amount over and then it climbs per km over after that and they take your car for 3 months. He also said that you get 1 month jail and a nice fine for red light running and they have cameras at the intersections. Those roundabouts get pretty crazy too.

On the Brabus K8 I didn't think the exhaust looked very good. I also noticed that the innermost pipe on both sides did not have carbon build-up like the others which made me think it may even be a fake extension.

I wanted to try and talk to the guy sitting in the parked car but he was on the phone.

They literally tune Japanese SUV's with 1,000 horespower etc, youd be surprised how fast they do a quarter mile up a dune.

They've got two quarter miles,

sand straight and dune quarter mile your looking at suv's that do 6 second quarter mile, some of them remove the nissan engine and install a GM engine in it with turbos.
