In a tribute to Nissan's ethos of 'Defy Ordinary', Khalifa embarked on a captivating journey, unveiling Qatar's essence through its revered landmarks. His exploration shed light on the diverse tapestry of Qatar's terrain, beginning amidst the bustling lanes of Souq Waqif, a vibrant bastion of tradition nestled in the city's heart. From there, his voyage traversed the sleek contours of Msheireb, a burgeoning urban landscape adorned with quintessential Qatari architecture and trendy culinary havens. Guiding his path towards the iconic skyline of West Bay, where skyscrapers ascend to the clouds, Khalifa's expedition then wandered into the tranquil embrace of Katara's hills, where culture intertwined with the refreshing breeze. Continuing onward, he anchored at The Pearl, a sparkling gem in the ocean, meticulously crafted to honor Qatar's rich pearl diving heritage. Amidst its lavish environs, Khalifa embraced the comfort of the Nissan Patrol, a fitting companion for his journey. Unfazed by urban allure, Khalifa's journey pressed forward to Lusail Boulevard, a vibrant thoroughfare for festivals, culminating at the grandeur of Lusail Stadium, a testament to Qatar's sporting prowess. Yet, the true allure of adventure beckoned beyond city limits, as Khalifa embraced the desert's vast expanse, effortlessly guiding the Nissan Patrol through undulating sand dunes. With each challenge overcome, the unwavering spirit of the Nissan Patrol empowered Khalifa, enabling him to immerse himself fully in the magnificence of Qatar's landscapes, free from constraint or compromise. Presented in a multi-episode series, each adventure takes viewers on a unique journey, illuminating the rich cultural tapestry and varied landscapes across eight markets that Nissan operates in, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Jordan, Kuwait, and Lebanon. Organized in collaboration with Nissan’s trusted partners in each market, the series puts the unparalleled capabilities of the legendary Nissan Patrol on full display, traversing from desert landscapes to towering mountains and bustling cityscapes – with each adventurer experiencing a common thread of exploring home.

Combining refinement, innovation, and connectivity, the 2024 Nissan Patrol continues to defy ordinary with sheer off-road prowess and a variety of cutting-edge technologies. Thierry Sabbagh, President, Nissan Saudi Arabia, INFINITI Middle East, and Managing Director, Nissan Middle East, said: "Nissan Patrol 8 Adventures underscores Nissan's commitment to inspiring our audience to explore the great outdoors with the legendary Patrol. This cross-market initiative required seamlessly weaving eight unique experiences into a cohesive narrative, underlining the Patrol’s terrain-conquering legacy, and the Middle East’s long-standing love for exploration. This initiative is not just an adventure, but an engaging showcase of the Patrol's capabilities and the region’s admiration for this iconic SUV.” Nassim Mourani, General Manager of the Automotive Group at Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co., conveyed enthusiasm regarding the partnership with one of Qatar's beloved influencers, Khalifa Al Haroon.

Alfardan Luxury Motors, the official dealer for Aston Martin in the State of Qatar, unveiled the newest of the esteemed British marque’s next generation of  sportscars: Vantage. The iconic model made its debut in Qatar in a series of viewings at the state-of-the-art Aston Martin showroom in Alfardan Towers, West Bay, Doha. The latest in an iconic bloodline, the new Vantage is an authentic, unadulterated celebration of pure performance, engineered to deliver maximum thrills with maximum confidence. “We’re delighted to present the all-new Vantage in Qatar. Engineered for real drivers, Vantage has immaculate style, unforgettable performance and inimitable character; it embodies the sporting qualities the line has become synonymous with since 1964. With class-leading outputs and razor-sharp handling, I have no doubt the motoring enthusiasts here will be thrilled by the new generation model,” said Samer Bou Dargham, General Manager of Alfardan Luxury Motors. Powered by a heavily reworked, hand-built 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine the new Vantage is the fastest in the nameplate’s history. With peaks of 665PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque it also makes the biggest-ever jump in power and torque compared to the model it succeeds, those increases of 155PS and 115Nm equating to gains of 30% and 15% respectively. Mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission this is enough to propel the two-seater sports car to a top speed of 325km/h and punch it from a standstill to 100km/h in just 3.4sec. From the first glimpse you know the new generation Vantage is a game-changer. A body standing 30mm wider with a more muscular stance is accentuated by a completely redesigned front-end featuring a 38% larger recontoured veined grille aperture, offering 29% increase in mass airflow for additional cooling. Further cooling intakes set into the bumper either side of the grille sharpen the front-end’s features, while the new integrated splitter, with a wider and lower stance, adds drama as well as aerodynamic function, providing high speed stability through lift reduction. This distinctive front-end treatment is completed by all-new Matrix LED headlamp design with integrated DRLs, featuring Aston Martin’s new light signature. Elsewhere the new Vantage sees a return of the iconic Aston Martin side strake, which now forms the sharp focal point of revised vents in each flank. Standard-fit 21in forged alloy wheels fill the wider wheel arches to perfection, creating a purposeful stance that exudes power and poise in equal measure. Frameless door mirrors and presenting door handles are also new to Vantage, while a wider rear bumper incorporating side vents and larger diameter quad exhaust tailpipes ensure the Vantage looks as dramatic from the rear as it does from the front. Vantage is a hardcore sports car at heart, but this doesn’t mean it makes sacrifices when it comes to design, comfort or equipment levels. The new generation Vantage makes a breathtaking statement with an all-new ultra-luxury interior defined by flawless architectural lines, swathed in the finest materials and packed with state-of-the-art connected technology and a stunning surround sound system developed by audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. It is the second model to feature Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment. The second of Aston Martin’s Next Generation of sportscars, new Vantage sets a new benchmark of driving purity, for drivers who relish in a challenge a fast sports car represents.

In the realm of automotive design, where every curve, line, and detail hold significance, INFINITI stands out for more than just aesthetics. Rooted in its Japanese heritage, the brand's design philosophy is a testament to the rich tapestry of cultural influences that shape its identity. At the core of INFINITI’s design ethos lie three distinct concepts: Ma, Omotenashi, and Engawa, each embodying a profound aspect of Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility. Ma, the first principle, encapsulates the essence of space and time—the delicate interplay between what is present and what is not. In Japanese culture, Ma signifies the intervals between objects, the pauses between sounds, and the voids between moments. Ma is more than just negative space; it is the art of creating harmony through subtraction. Step into an INFINITI vehicle, and you'll experience this sense of spaciousness—an environment where every curve and contour serve a purpose, where luxury is not just in what is present, but also in what is absent. Omotenashi, another principle, embodies the spirit of thoughtful hospitality—an unwavering commitment to creating meaningful connections with those who interact with the brand. Omotenashi transcends mere customer service; it is a philosophy that infuses every aspect of the ownership experience. Through this concept you'll discover a sanctuary of comfort and convenience—a space where every feature is designed to enhance your journey and elevate your senses. In the world of INFINITI, Omotenashi is not just a gesture; it's a way of life. Through Engawa, we find the seamless integration of interior and exterior—an architectural concept that blurs the boundaries between inside and out. In traditional Japanese homes, Engawa refers to the narrow veranda that wraps around the perimeter, serving as a transitional space between the intimate confines of the house and the boundless expanse of nature. For INFINITI, Engawa manifests as a design language that celebrates continuity and fluidity. From the sweeping lines of the exterior to the meticulously crafted cabin, every element is orchestrated to create a sense of connection with the world outside; A cocoon of tranquility where every journey is an opportunity to engage with the world around you. INFINITI’s design signatures are more than just aesthetic flourishes; they are a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. By drawing inspiration from Japanese philosophies such as Ma, Omotenashi, and Engawa, INFINITI has created a design language that is as timeless as it is contemporary, as elegant as it is functional. As such, it is the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and design and a signature of the ever-evolving brand. #INFINITI

Every year, as nature blooms anew, Van Cleef & Arpels pays it a poetic tribute. In 2024, five radiant pieces will be joining the Frivole jewelry collection, including a white gold 7-flower bracelet, a Between the Finger ring in rose gold, and an 8-flower ring that presents a dialogue between rose and white gold. The Maison’s savoir-faire – from selecting and matching the diamonds to the mirror polishing – showcases these sparkling corollas, which illuminate the skin with their sunny glow. A garland of flowers on the wrist This year, the Frivole collection’s delicate, graphic flowers bloom on the white gold 7-flower bracelet with grace, glittering with close to three hundred diamonds. Selected according to the most stringent criteria, the gemstones shine in unison, gleaming intensely against the skin. The asymmetric design and the tilt of the curved heart-shaped petals echo the vitality of nature. Glittering bouquets For the first time in the Frivole collection, an 8-flower ring poetically pairs rose and white gold with diamonds. Five white gold flowers, each meticulously positioned at different heights and paved with diamonds, dialogue with three rose gold ones accented by a central stone. The virtuosity of the Maison’s artisans is incarnated by the way in which the eight flowers are assembled on the ring, adorning the finger with a threedimensional bouquet. Mirror-polished rose gold intensifies the interplay of light and reflections, as if the ring were sparkling in the sunlight. A radiant jewelry set This year, the Frivole collection reveals a new aesthetic of rose gold interspersed with diamonds. The corollas unfurl the soft shades of this precious metal on a pendant featuring a new size and earrings that cast a warm glow on the silhouette. One of the new creations, a Between the Finger ring, presents a subtle tête-à-tête between two mirror-polished rose gold flowers. The asymmetry of the motifs continues in the diamond settings, with one stone set in the heart of the smallest flower and three on the largest. The carefully selected diamonds set at the center of the motifs blend harmoniously with the myriad reflections of the mirror-polished gold. Like freshly blooming flowers, these new creations are precious additions to any set, and can be combined to suit any mood. Savoir-faire at the service of brilliance Perpetuating the Maison’s tradition of excellence, multiple forms of knowhow combine to bring the Frivole creations to life, and infuse them with shine and intensity. The mirror polish — a Van Cleef & Arpels signature technique since the 1920s — is carefully performed by hand on each piece in the Frivole collection to enhance its radiance. The craftsmen’s virtuoso hands ensure the light flows unimpeded over the creations, which gleam intensely against the skin as a result. Reflecting the Maison’s high standards and taste in gemstones, the diamonds are chosen according to the highest criteria: D to F for color, and IF to VVS for clarity. The precious stones undergo a twofold selection process, both scientific and specific to Van Cleef & Arpels, based on over a hundred years of expertise. The mount is meticulously worked by the jeweler to ensure the precious metal is correctly prepared to receive the diamonds. Openings are cut into the 7-flower bracelet and 8-flower ring to let light pass through the gemstones and intensify their sparkle. #VanCleefAndArpels
