This limousine electric-powered Superbus was finally "fly" to the United Arab Emirates. This blue night bus with a length of 15 meters was ordered by the Sheikh (who may be domiciled in Abu Dhabi or Dubai).
...Dubai, yeah, it's a beautiful and rich country. It's the second city in United Arab Emirates (after Abu Dhabi), a new cosmopolitan city and far from the impression of vast desert expanse as usual we meet when we visit the middle eastern countries. While entering the city what we will find are many buildings of skyscrapers, luxury hotels, shopping malls, arenas and various other interesting attractions.
Dubai is indeed astonishing. The country is growing and growing very fantastic. A country which (originally donated by many sectors of the oil & gas) has made the property sector become its mainstay. Dubai is changing very rapidly, from a stretch of desert on the outskirts of Arabian Gulf into the towering building space.
Fantastic construction projects in Dubai based on an ideal that wants to make Dubai as a center of world tourism, trade, and financial business. That ambition is further supported by tax exemptions (tax free) and open skies policy.
What things can we enjoy in Dubai? The city is trying to offer the tourism that combines the natural heritage, traditional wealth, and super fantastic piece of architecture. Here we can see some large-scale real estate projects are in the spotlight of the world, including the Emirates Tower, Burj Dubai, Palm Island and Burj Al Arab Hotel.
Even the Hotel Burj Al Arab has been declared as the highest and most expensive hotel in the world. We can also relax in the resort areas such as artificial islands, the Palm Island (Jebel Ali), Palm Island (Jumeirah), Palm Island (Deira) where all of them resemble a palm tree that reputedly can be seen from the Moon. These resorts are the reclamation of thousands of acres reclamation of Arabian Gulf coast.
Another spectacular thing that we can meet is the construction of Hydropolis, the first underwater hotel in the world at a depth of 20 meters and 300 meters from the beach, will further complement other luxury in Dubai. For nature tourism, Dubai offers a wealth of desert, including a rally car in Paris-Dakar style and complete belly dance treats. There is also an exclusive resort with the tranquility and beauty of selling the desert. Its location in the region of Al Maha. Here, the color of the desert can change like a rainbow with the seven colors. It's amazing!
Traditional cultural heritage of Dubai served through dinner tour on a traditional boat (Dhow Dinner) at the Dubai river. Its river transport, called Abra with the clear and clean river's flow decorates with seagulls playing on the river, further adds to the fun along Dubai Creek within 13 kilometers.
We can also visit a traditional village, or museum designed to describe the past of Dubai, there is also a traditional Gold market (Gold Souk), and even its unique, you can also watch the camel races.
If you take a walk along the area of Dubai, you will find extremely well organized infrastructure. Smooth road conditions with colorful flower beds on either side of the road. Even the rider is free of tolls and parking for the malls area or hotels.
Its public area is also very clean with adequate transportation, complete with air conditioning. About the safety and convenience, you also need not worry because it is very assured. With all the amazing charm and various facilities are adequate, it has been shown that if we talk about Asia's charm is not only Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong for example, but also Dubai.***

Superbus was shipped and transported in a jumbo jet cargo owned by Dutch airline, KLM. Superbus last appeared in Circuit Assen, the Netherlands, on 7 August in a trial. Prince Pieter-Christiaan from the Netherlands was sitting in the cabin along with 23 other people. Superbus was designed by Prof. dr. Wubbo Ockels (former astronaut), Dr. Ing Antonia Terzi (former BMW Williams F1 designer and aerodynamics expert), and Joris Melkert MSc (expert spacecraft).
All three became the leader of a joint project of students from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. They made the Superbus which is capable for travelling 120 miles from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in just 30 minutes.
That ability is achieved due to its light weight, as well as body and frame are made of carbon fiber mixed policarbonate Lexan. Superbus glance similar to the long Batmobile , like a limousine. The back has two pairs of wheels that can turn independently to reduce the turning radius when turning.
Another interesting, the source of energy stored in the lithium polymer battery, and the energy due to braking could be recovered. Electric motor power output can reach 408 PS and can be duplicated in just minutes.
That luxurious Superbus has a width of 2.25 meters and 1.65 meters high. Sports seats are fitted with access doors 12 on the right and left. That -12 doors open upward like wings flapping (Gullwing).
To pamper the passengers, each seat is equipped with multimedia equipment.
Superbus futuristic sport that is claimed capable of racing 250 km/hour, priced £7 million.
In addition, these vehicles are designed to provide a sensational experience for passengers. Level of comfort comparable to a luxury sedan class. Advanced equipment is also used in this Superbus, such as navigation systems, autopilot, communication systems, and security control systems.
Unfortunately, Peyman Younes Parham as a Director of Marketing and Communications of Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai, doubted it could be used on public roads. "It's a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, it can not be used as public transportation. It is suitable as an executive or tourist bus".

Hello, where is its toilet? Ehhhee .... I always imagine the expression and the situation of those who hold the pee or other purposes along their journey. Honestly, I always keep some small plastic bags in my bag. So, when I'm dying for a pee, ehehhe
... you may ask him what I do in his car.
"Honey, it's not an executive action at all!" he grinned, I dunno, maybe he felt sorry for me or funny or embarrassed.
"Ehehee .., I don't care about your assumption, dahling. I'd better don't have sex partner than you ask me to hold pee.."
"Hahahaa ... ok, a quick pee there!
