First customer Aventador delivered in Dubai

[Beefmeister]

Apparently belongs to H.E Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Makhtoum.

Spotted outside the Mall of Emirates:




And here it is apparently outside his garage:



And yes, that is a lion cub sitting on the car.

When he gets bored of it (probably in about half an hour's time), will the car end up dumped in the desert or languishing in a car pool like the well-documented Jaguar XJ220, Enzo etc?

Who knows what delights Mansoury et al will inflict upon the Aventador?!

Oh the car is cool, don't get me wrong, but sitting a Tiger cub on it? I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that is not their natural habitat or is it something they chuck in with the purchase out there?

It is quite common over there for people to have exotic pets over there.

I'm no animal rights nut, just the one guinea pig (tufty) and a Bernese mountain dog (Hendrix) but just because it's common, doesn't make it ok (I wonder what they do with a tiger cub when it get's too big for the cat flap) ......... Hold on a sec, this is going off topic and away from the fact that the car is stunning.

yep, we get them free in happy meals.

mansour is a bit of a no mark in the hierarchy. the type that does nothing and clogs up knightsbridge in summer to show off.

I totally agree, I was just saying sadly it's not unheard of.

[shirt]

it's not that common, but i do know where i could buy a baboon or a cheetah if i wanted to this afternoon.

afaik, it's not really legal and there's been a huge push in the local media against having exotic/dangerous animals.

still, he's a sheikh and as such, laws and rules don't apply.

back on topic, i'll keep an eye out for it and whether he can actually drive

[matc]

Stunning car, bit boring in white though....

I'm sure that a guinea pig and mountain dog's natural habitat isn't in your house either.

Who cares?

It's not like he is running it over with the bloody car?!

[Ford 2]

Amazing car. its immense been honest, But just a quick question, What does it mean to be a sheikh over in these country's say ? Or even when they come over here or the UK ? They seem to be above the law in places

[shirt]

well, you know how the queen can technically tell bib to "eff orf" if she were caught breaking the law? or expel a company or citizen if she didn't like the cut of their jib?

it's the same if you're a sheikh, but practically rather than technically.

IT'S A TIGER ! (not a rodent or common dog)
"Three of the nine subspecies of modern tiger have gone extinct, and the remaining six are classified as endangered, some critically so. The primary direct causes are habitat destruction, fragmentation, and hunting." (from wiki)

He's a dick.

Mate, I reckon that tiger is probably the least endangered Tiger in the whole wide world!!!
