The Boulevard of Dreams

There are cars and then there are supercars – the stylish, noisy types that turn heads everywhere they go. The Middle East is a hotbed of wealthy supercar owners but for many car fans, the only opportunity they get to see a supercar is when one is zooming past them on Dubai’s highways. The 2017 Dubai International Motor Show is hosting a special zone, dedicated to supercars. The Boulevard of Dreams will present visitors with a unique opportunity to get up close to some of the fastest and most glamorous cars in the world, including the world’s first handmade Titanium supercar – the Vulcano Titanium, from Italian manufacturer ICONA. Traditional sector heavyweights such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren will be present with their latest models, while Devel, Shaali and Rimac will demonstrate how the UAE is making waves in the supercar sector.
