Drivers looking for a bit of luxury on the road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi will soon be able to take advantage of an exclusive members-only car lane when it comes into service next year.
The ‘Gold Class’ lane, which will be available for a set monthly fee, offers a full range of extras unavailable in the other lanes. Gold Class drivers will be given an extra 10kmph top speed limit, newly laid top-of-the-range gold painted tarmac and discounts at various service stations. The whole lane will also be an extra 50cm wide, and will be cordoned off from the other lanes with a red velvet rope.
“We live in a society where luxury lovers can enjoy exclusive access to special areas in the nightclub, metro and supermarket,” said project spokesperson Tarek O’Dowd. “Given our deep love of cars and driving, it seems ridiculous that we hadn’t yet brought this service to the road.”
While the price has yet to be revealed, organisers have said it would be set “disruptively high” in order to prevent the Gold Class lane from becoming overcrowded.

If it wasn't for the velvet rope piece this scenario is entirely believable.

Will that lane be on the left or right, though?

I cant believe that no-one has linked this satirical article with the actual "Dubai Grand Parade" that is happening in a few weeks as part of the car show. Sadly I couldn't register my little sh*t box
www.dubaigrandparade.com
Criteria for Participants
Vehicles must be unique with an exciting design
Authentic restoration of vintage cars
High level of modification and specifications

I liked the radio advert "Due to overwhelming demand registration has been extended to 21st Nov"
I think they meant underwhelming
