This is the Dubai Roadster, a sports car project that
reportedly is the brainchild of an Emirati racer. The
Dubai Roadster looks every bit as aggressive as its name indicates. Not much
has been released as far as details are concerned, but the Roadster does have
all the physical attributes to be treated as a bonafide track racer.
The
aggressive front bumper is pretty evident and the swooping, vented hood gives
the physical look of a car that’s born for racing. LED-infused headlights are
also part of the treatment, while out back, a large rear wing and roll bars can
be clearly seen. The overall shape screams of a track car that’s
aerodynamically suited to be be quick and agile, two attributes that cars like
the Roadster should be.
The Dubai Roadster will
reportedly come with a transversely mounted, V-8 engine that can produce as
much as 400 horsepower, all while weighing 1,653 pounds. The numbers certainly
speak for themselves, and its origin points to a car that has some significant
financial backing.
It’s still unclear how far along the Dubai Roadster is
in its developmental phase, but if everything goes according to schedule, as we
expect it should be, the Roadster could be ready in time for the 2015 Dubai
Motor Show.
