Top Gear in UAE ?

This is intresting.

I read it today in the news paper that the top gear people were shooting 3 Bugatti's in Abu Dhabi which is the UAE capital.

Here is another website which talks about it maybe guys who know someone from Abu Dhabi can share the story with us.

Oh yes, that is true!

They filmed 3 Veyrons that belong to one person from AD royal family on the corniche, by blocking the roads for an hour.

Also, they raced 2 Veyrons against a Koenigsegg CCX driven by stig on the jebel hafeet. :)

sorry to burst your bubble guys, but it's for the magazine

Photo shoot goes into top gear

ABU DHABI Psst, buddy, can you spare me a sports car? Yes, evidently, three of them. This weekend Top Gear, the UK-based car magazine, which is in the country for a photo shoot, sent out an urgent request for an unusual car, the million-dollar Bugatti Veyron.

It was hoping for one. Instead, it was offered three of the vehicles, which cost more than Dh4.4 million (US$1.2m) each. “No other place in the world could we have found three Bugattis in a span of 48 hours,” said a relieved Charlie Turner, the creative director for the magazine.

The cars were tracked down by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and belong to local owners who wish to remain anonymous. Built by Volkswagen, the 1,000-horsepower vehicle can reach 407kph. One car in the shoot, a gleaming aluminium-bodied model, is one of only five in the world.

The Corniche area and Jabel Hafeet were briefly closed off for the shoot, which featured the Stig, Top Gear’s mysterious, overall-clad driver.

Top Gear, paired with a BBC television show of the same name, sells more than a million copies a month.
