Take the Ultimate Desert Road Trip with Lamborghini’s Serata Dubai

A few minutes behind the wheel of a Lamborghini would tick off a handful of bucket list must-dos for the average auto enthusiast. But, what about an exclusive, all-inclusive, superlative-filled road trip across some of the world’s fastest roads? That’s precisely what Serata Dubai is all about.

The inaugural event, hosted by Lamborghini Club of America, is a lavish, ultra-exclusive trip filled with experiences befitting the Lamborghini lifestyle. Maybe you’re unsure what that means because you don’t own an exotic Italian supercar (sorry to hear that). Consider that the event will take place over five action-packed days in Dubai, which should provide a clue. This is arguably the world’s most extravagant city where they built a 500-foot, gold-plated picture frame just because they could. Serata Dubai promises to be every bit as over the top.

Tour-goers will experience the biggest, the fastest, the highest, and the most luxurious things the Middle East has to offer. The trip kicks off with a gala dinner at the Burj Al Arab, the world’s self-proclaimed “only seven-star hotel.” Days will be spent cruising the deserts of the UAE, including a trip to Jebel Jais Mountain, the country’s highest point. The itinerary even includes a VIP Formula 1 Grand Prix experience, plus bonus time in the driver’s seat at a private Dubai Autodrome track event with Lamborghini’s former chief test driver Valentino Balboni. When not behind the wheel, drivers will visit the Armani Lounge for a gold cappuccino, enjoy lunch at the world’s highest restaurant inside the Burj Khalifa, trek the Arabian desert and dine with Bedouins, train in the classic sport of camel polo, and relax with a sunset dinner cruise aboard a world-class superyacht.

Lamborghini Club of America dates back to 1975. It was founded to honor Ferruccio Lamborghini who almost single-handedly defined the automaker’s legacy over the last fifty years. The club’s exclusive, world-class events include Super Trofeo and the annual Serata Italiana and Monterey, California meetups, all of which bring together the world’s most affluent exotic car collectors.

Serata Dubai is scheduled for November 21-26, 2019, to coincide with two of the world’s most notable automotive events: Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the Dubai International Motor Show. Interested road-trippers can request pricing through the Serata Dubai website. But, frankly, if you’re shopping seriously for this kind of ultra-luxe getaway, it’s difficult to imagine that money is an object. With only fifty seats available, it’s expected to sell out fast.

Although admittedly, I have never owned a Bugatti, I have owned a few exciting cars over the years. And while most of those purchases were made out of my love for each one, I would be lying if I said that the head-turns and thumbs up I received while driving those vehicles did not add to the fun of ownership.

Multiplying that feeling exponentially, I can only imagine that if I were to pay several million dollars for any of Bugatti's unbelievably stellar machines, I would want to show it off to anyone and everyone I could, driving or not. Apparently, I am not alone in that thinking because Bugatti has created the FG-01 Garage to address that exact problem.

Almost 300,000 Ford trucks recalled for bad fuel pump

Although Tesla held the title of most vehicles recalled for 2024, Ford Motor Company was hot on its heels with the number two spot. In one of its most recent recalls filed with the NHTSA, the Blue Oval added nearly 300,000 more vehicles to that total (which still leaves Tesla roughly half a million in the lead) because of another side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ford is bringing back certain F250, F350, F450, F550, F650, and F750 Super Duty and Medium Truck vehicles equipped with its 6.7-liter Scorpion diesel engine. It seems that these pickup trucks' motors can form dangerous biodiesel deposits on the fuel pump drivetrain roller components. These deposits can then lead to the engine's high-pressure fuel pump failing, causing a potentially catastrophic cascade of damage.
