The love for fast, luxurious cars is quite prominent in the UAE, so I’d like to take a moment to highlight some of the tips and tricks for driving them.
First, make sure you understand just how powerful the car is! A lot of these cars have over 400 horsepower, so if you are not used to such a powerful car, get accustomed to it slowly before you go flying around!
Second, make sure you know how to drive a manual before you get in the $250,000 vehicle. You cannot shift gears in a Lamborghini the way you would shift gears in a pickup truck. They aren’t built the same. Fast cars need quick shifts and drivers who can handle the power! However, you don’t want to redline them each time either. Think of the car as a person- you don’t want to push the limits until you are really comfortable with them.
Third, here are a few things to remember about the mechanics of the car: Brakes, especially on expensive newer cars, can be very tight. You don’t want to get out of a car that has brakes that have been somewhat worn in, and then get into an expensive supercar without paying attention to this: you could end up pressing them too hard. So you need to be very careful, even when you get nervous, because hitting the brakes too quickly can result in the possibility of an accident. This is especially important when talking about driving in the UAE; there are already too many accidents in this country. Luxury cars are built to hug the road. Feel free to take turns a little sharper and let the car shift into the turn. However, if the car is too light, it won’t settle as well as if it were really heavy. Don’t fluctuate your foot pressure, especially around a turn – it’s either smooth or pedal to the metal! The moment you begin to feel nervous is the point at which you will relinquish control of the vehicle. No matter how unexpected the drive of the vehicle is, do not panic. I don’t care who you are, your insurance company would not be happy if something awful happened, and neither would you!
In addition to the power and visual appeal of the car, take a moment to appreciate all of the fine technological and design details on the inside. Play around with the radio, fiddle with all of the buttons and gadgets, adjust the seat to the perfect position – in total, enjoy the car to the fullest extent.
