WHAT IS 1000 MIGLIA?
When you hear “1000 Miglia,” you might think of roaring engines, timeless luxury, and an iconic race that has earned its place as “the most beautiful race in the world.” But for me, as Managing Editor of BURO Middle East, it’s more than just a spectacle, it’s inspiration for my ultimate retirement plan. Picture this: cruising through breath-taking landscapes in a classic Mercedes, the wind teasing my scarf, and the open road promising adventure. No deadlines, no emails, just pure, unfiltered freedom on four wheels. If the 1000 Miglia is a celebration of timeless elegance and speed, then consider it my vision of a gracefully fast-paced retirement. Who says work-life balance can’t end with a stylish sprint?

BEHIND THE WHEEL: OUR EXCLUSIVE DRIVE WITH MERCEDES-BENZ FOR THE 1000 MIGLIA UAE EXPERIENCE.
As exclusive media invitee to the 1000 Miglia UAE Experience this year, we had the privilege of driving not one, but two standout vehicles from Mercedes-Benz: the G-Class ‘Stronger Than Diamonds’ Edition and the ever-elegant G-Class Cabriolet in white. Each offered its own unique character, embodying the luxury and performance Mercedes-Benz is renowned for.
First up, the G-Class ‘Stronger Than Diamonds’ Edition—a vehicle as bold as its name suggests. This limited-edition masterpiece takes the rugged DNA of the classic G-Class and elevates it with unparalleled sophistication. With diamond-inspired design elements and a glittering metallic finish, it’s a head-turner that effortlessly fuses strength and opulence. Beneath its dazzling exterior lies the heart of a true off-road champion, with robust capabilities ready to tackle any terrain the UAE has to offer. It’s a statement car for those who dare to be bold and luxurious at the same time.
On the other hand, the G-Class Cabriolet in white offers an entirely different vibe—classic elegance with a touch of nostalgia. With its open-top design, this car transforms every drive into a liberating journey. Perfect for the UAE’s scenic routes, the Cabriolet lets you soak in the landscapes of Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and beyond, all while surrounded by the brand’s signature craftsmanship and comfort. Its sleek white exterior paired with the unmistakable G-Class silhouette makes it a timeless icon that exudes sophistication.
Driving these two exceptional vehicles through the UAE’s most picturesque routes was nothing short of extraordinary. Whether it was the audacious charm of the ‘Stronger Than Diamonds’ Edition or the breezy allure of the Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz proved once again why it remains a symbol of innovation, luxury, and adventure. This year’s 1000 Miglia UAE Experience was more than just a race—it was a celebration of style, performance, and the open road.
