Journalists and VIPs from Lebanon and the Middle East have gathered at Le Vendome InterContinental hotel in Beirut – one of the few InterContinental “boutiques hotels” in the world – for an exclusive Ride & Drive event organized by Maserati's Middle East & Africa regional office. Accelerating car-fuelled passion, Maserati is giving the lucky participants the opportunity to test drive the Quattroporte S, Quattroporte Sport GT S, GranTurismo S Automatic, GranTurismo S MC Sport Line and the recently launched GranCabrio.
Seamlessly combining sporty allure with potent elegance and sheer performance, each luxury car will be fully experienced on different terrains: highways, slopes and twisting narrow roads. And all to the exceptional backdrop of Lebanon's breathtaking landscapes. Starting in Beirut, the scenic drive will go through Lebanon's largest nature reserve with its lush cedar forests (Al Shouf Cedar Nature Reserve); Lebanon's largest vineyard in the fertile Bakaa Valley with lunch followed by a tour of the vineyard; a historical village that was home to Lebanon's governors from the 16th-18th centuries, complete with a visit to Marie Baz's wax museum (Deir el Qamar); and finally to Beirut's hidden gem by the cornice for a seaside dinner at La Plage. Synonymous with excellence, Maserati is going the extra mile by providing participants with the assistance of Maserati Master GT professional team of driving instructors as well as the assistance of police escorts throughout the day to make this experience even more exclusive.
“Maserati is always looking to combine its driving events with a significant choice of location, one that can match its brand values of exclusivity, quality, passion and its constant quest for the best in life”  stated Umberto Cini, Regional Manager ME&A . “This year, we are pleased to be able to offer to a selected number of journalists and VIPs the opportunity to experience our cars in the most breath-taking surrounding, Beirut and Lebanon, for most a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an experience they won’t easily forget”. This high-power event gears car-lovers to ride the path and drive the dream with Maserati.
