Last week, Al Nabooda Automobiles teamed up with the VDubz team to organise an epic road trip through some of the UAE\u2019s best roads.<\/p>\n

VDubz is one of the most active Scirocco and Golf owners\u2019 clubs in the region, and the event was a sort of celebration of the Golf community\u2019s passion. Al Nabooda, the VW distributor in Dubai and the northern emirates, has always been pretty supportive of local owners\u2019 groups, so it was only too happy to get involved in the road trip.<\/p>\n

The drive started at the Volkswagen Sharjah showroom, where 30 cars carrying 50 VDubz members turned up for a day of killer motoring. The route took the convey of Golfs through the stunning mountain roads leading to the UAE\u2019s east coast, and ended at the Iberotel Miramar Al Aqah hotel in Fujeirah.<\/p>\n

And at the finish line, VDubz members were treated to an exclusive preview of the recently updated Golf R. The new, top-of-the-range Golf has been given a power boost so that it now develops 290 bhp and 380 nm of torque. It\u2019s also had a major tech upgrade, with features like gesture control and a sleek new infotainment display coming as standard.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s high-end executive saloon tech \u2013 in a AED 150,000 hatchback? Where do we sign up?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll get our hands on the new Golf R when it hits the UAE in October. In the meantime, check out the photos from VDubz\u2019 awesome road trip below.<\/p>\n
