Geely Auto, the Chinese automaker, held an exclusive event for the launch of the all-new Emgrand GT. This car is the flagship offering from the Chinese brand. It was launched by the exclusive Geely dealer – Union Motors – at their showroom in Deira, Dubai. Coming to the car itself, the Geely Emgrand GT is a front wheel drive car. The GT is powered by either a 2.4 liter or a 3.5 liter engine. The 3.5 liter engine produces a decent 285 BHP and 326 Nm. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. This is good enough to propel the car from 0-100 in 8.8 seconds. Geely says that the GT is aimed at the BMWs and Mercedes. Well, that argument makes sense considering the fact that the Emgrand GT has won the ‘China Car of the Year’ award.
