Is the Ferrari 296 GTB the ultimate drivers car?
The clue is in the name: two, nine, six, GTB. As the eagle-eyed among you would have gathered, the latest Ferrari sports a 2.9-litre V6, making it the smallest-engined model from the brand on the market today. Oh, and the GTB stands for Grand Touring Berlinetta. Its also a hybrid, which means there is plenty of power to go around. Coupled with an electric motor, which adds 165 horsepower to the proceedings for a total of 819hp, this is one of the most powerful cars that Maranello has to offer. Expectedly, the UAE remains an important market for Ferrari. Following its global reveal a few weeks ago, the UAE is the first country outside Europe to witness the launch of the Ferrari 296 GTB. There are several reasons why this is possibly one of the most important cars for Maranello. The revival  The last road-going Ferrari to pack a V6 engine was the Dino, which, despite the tragic story behind it (named as it was for Enzo Ferraris son who died at the age of 24), hardly set the world of sports cars alight. However, the secret weapon in the 296s arsenal is an electric motor that joins forces with the V6. The 296 GTB is not replacing any model in the Ferrari line-up, but rather being promoted as the most fun-to-drive Ferrari. Naturally, that gives the 296 GTB sprightly acceleration. So, the Ferrari with the smallest engine headbutts the horizon at a top speed of 338 kilometres per hour and hits 100kph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds. These are rather competitive figures. This is the curious bit. The 296 GTB is not replacing any model in the Ferrari line-up. In fact, it is being promoted as the most fun-to-drive Ferrari in the range. This is a bit odd.

The interior is bare, and thats actually rather good, but overall it seems like an exercise in marketing rather than anything more meaningful. The path of least resistance  Enzo Ferrari famously said that aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines. However, the 296 GTB employs plenty of aero-trickery in its pursuit of pace. While the 2.9-litre V6 develops a substantial 654hp on its own, coupled with the electric motor it offers head-spinning performance. In fact, the 296 GTB has the most power-dense engine of any production car on the market. In all-electric mode, itll run 20 or so kilometres, but thats not the point. Youre not buying the 296 to save the planet. The UAE became the first country outside Europe to witness the launch of the Ferrari 296 GTB, on June 30. There are plenty of active aero devices to carve the quickest path across any given piece of tarmac. The silhouette is clean, with no fripperies. What Ferrari calls the front tea-tray increases downforce over the front end. At the back, it gets an active rear spoiler a la Ferrari, for additional downforce. As with any new Ferrari, youd expect a smorgasbord of electronics saving the drivers behind when ambition overtakes ability. And you wouldnt be wrong. Ferrari has taken the art of electronics and refined it to a degree where its nothing short of magic. The Side Slip Control  or traction control, in plain speak  is honed such that the car allows you to have fun without getting tangled in the Armco. At least thats what Ferrari claims. Light is right  The 296 GTB is 50 millimetres shorter in wheelbase than previous mid-rear-engined Ferrari V8s. Crucially, it weighs just 1,470kg dry. This is thanks to a lighter engine and pared-down materials throughout the car. And if you think thats still too portly, you can opt for the Assetto Fiorano pack. This cuts down the weight even further and brings adjustable Multimatic shocks, carbon-fibre components for the front bumper, and all around. For the gaudy, there is obviously the choice of a 250 LM-style livery, and Michelin Sport Cup 2 R tyres. Were not so certain. Real-life reveal  At the launch in Dubai, the engineers proudly revved up the car. The engine note, although barrel-chested, is flat and almost industrial at start up. You dont get the histrionics of a Lamborghini. While it sounds way more aggressive at higher revs with doctored pops and bang, it does not sound organic. It is promising, but like most new cars there appear to be way too many compromises along the way to qualify it as a genuine enthusiasts vehicle. Its a fast Ferrari. There are many fast Ferraris. This is one of them.

Email sent to Uber team from chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi From: Dara To: Team@ Date: March 25, 2019 at 11:45pm PT Subj: Accelerating in the Middle East Five years ago, Uber launched in the Middle East. It was the start of an incredible journey, with millions of riders and drivers finding new ways to move and work in a dynamic region thats become so important to Uber. Now Pakistan is one of our fastest-growing markets in the world, women are driving with Uber across Saudi Arabia, and we chose Cairo to launch our first Uber Bus product late last year. Today we are taking the next step in this journeywell, its more like a leap, and a big one: in a few minutes, well announce that weve agreed to acquire Careem. Importantly, we intend to operate Careem independently, under the leadership of co-founder and current CEO Mudassir Sheikha. Ive gotten to know both co-founders, Mudassir and Magnus Olsson, and what they have built is truly extraordinary. They are first-class entrepreneurs who share our platform vision and, like us, have launched a wide range of productsfrom digital payments to food deliveryto serve consumers. I expect many of you will ask how we arrived at this structure, meaning allowing Careem to maintain an independent brand and operate separately. After careful consideration, we decided that this framework has the advantage of letting us build new products and try new ideas across not one, but two, strong brands, with strong operators within each. Over time, by integrating parts of our networks, we can operate more efficiently, achieve even lower wait times, expand new products like high-capacity vehicles and payments, and quicken the already remarkable pace of innovation in the region. This acquisition is subject to regulatory approval in various countries, which we dont expect before Q1 2020. Until then, nothing changes. And since both companies will continue to largely operate separately after the acquisition, very little will change in either teams day-to-day operations post-close. Todays news is a testament to the incredible business our team has worked so hard to build. Its a great day for the Middle East, for the regions thriving tech sector, for Careem, and for Uber.
