If you want to see what speed and power on wheels looks like then you’d better get along to the upcoming Middle East International Motor Show. The event is to display some of the quickest vehicles around including the fastest production car on the planet - the Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo from Shelby Supercars.

This sleek speedster was clocked at a jaw-dropping 413 kilometres per hour - try hitting those speeds along Sheikh Zayed Road and, knowing what Dubai’s traffic is like, there are some out there who would.

The Bugatti Veyron 16/4, the former record holder with a top speed of 407 kilometres per hour, will also be in attendance as will one of the most popular sports cars in the world, the Pagani Zonda.

Partially designed by F1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio, the Italian made Zonda first hit the streets in 1999 and only 25  are produced every year.

Sadly, Fangio never got a chance to drive the car he helped to shape as he died in 1995.
