Dune Bashing & Ferraris in the Dubai Desert

Continuing the Patrick Treacy "Dune Bashing in Dubai" series with a mashup of clips from Jeremy Clarkson and BBC World. Dune bashing, also known as desert safari, is a form of off-roading, using an off-road vehicle to explore sand dunes. Whilst in some parts of the world, such as the fragile coastal dunes of Australia, it is illegal, in others such as the Middle East, it is a booming attraction for tourists.Although most four-wheel drive vehicles are capable of dune bashing, the smaller, lower vehicles like most mini SUVs and compact SUVs are not used because they have a higher risk of getting stuck. Larger sport utility vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser are more common. The vehicles used for this activity are usually equipped with a roll cage to prevent the roof from caving in on passengers in the case of an overturn. Similar to auto-racing, experience and skill is required to manoeuvre the car and prevent accidents. Tires with a recommended pressure of 35 psi are reduced to approximately 17 psi

Oh the other Ferrari is an F40 designed to be the successor to the company's GTO supercar. At ninety years old, Enzo Ferrari was keenly aware that his life was coming to an end, and was somewhat disappointed that Ferrari's dominance in international motorsport had faded somewhat over the years. He wanted a competitor to the Porsche 959 (also seen here)for the company's 40th anniversary.

Nice for the ferrari lovers!

I agree!!!The F50 was introduced in 1995 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car is a two door, two seat convertible with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally-aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5L V12 used in the 1992 Ferrari F92 Formula One car.
