In this riveting episode of Hagerty, the team embarks on a thrilling journey to Dubai, where they stumble upon an extraordinary car collection owned by none other than Shake Khalifa, a member of the UAE royal family. Among the jaw-dropping gems is the Gumbala Marsien, a beastly off-road Porsche boasting 830 horsepower and more ground clearance than your average SUV. As they tear through the dunes in this prototype marvel, the team is left in awe of its unmatched performance and engineering prowess. But the surprises don't end there.

Their eyes feast upon a pristine McLaren P1 with a mere 13 km on the odometer, a vintage fire truck from 1951, and a mind-boggling Ford Mustang convertible sitting on a Dodge Ram truck chassis. The sheer audacity and creativity behind these machines leave the team speechless. From classic Volkswagens to Hellcat-powered side-by-sides, each vehicle in Shake Khalifa's collection tells a unique story of automotive history and innovation. The team's excitement reaches new heights as they explore the rare and untouched treasures within the showroom.

But the real thrill begins when they hit the private drift track with Sultan, a drift aficionado and member of the royal family. Sultan showcases his impressive collection of drift cars, including a Bentley and an Aston Martin drift car equipped with a twin-turbo LS engine. As they delve into the world of high-octane racing and custom builds, Sultan's passion for motorsports shines through. The day is filled with heart-pounding moments, rare finds, and a deep appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship that define the world of automotive excellence.
