DUBAI - Engines are ready to roar and luxury is being taken to a new level as Big Boys Toys 2012 continues to herald itself as Dubai?s premiere lifestyle spectacle, much to the delight of those ?who want it all?. With a throng of visitors flocking the event on its first open-to-the-public day on Friday, an air of excitement and anticipation complemented the best and brightest display off exclusive products and services in adventure, aviation, driving, fashion, lifestyle, marine, off-road, riding and wellness ? fit for those who want to take fun several levels up.And while the event?s title implies a ?manly? flavour, it really doesn?t do justice to it; Big Boys Toys is for everyone, it?s that simple. Women and children make up a good chunk of visitors, eager to get into the latest and the best.Khaleej Times has short-listed some of the very interesting products on display. Ruluxpro Russian luxury products: Who says weapons are just for mangling each other? Combine a sword?s craftsmanship with jeweller?s art and you?ll be an elite collector up there with the wealthiest celebrities, politicians, government establishments and the largest museums. Starts at Dh37,000, by the way. Chessboards also included.CXC Simulations Motion Pro II racing simulator: Just reading the comments from real-life professional race drivers tells it all. Full-motion technology, force feedback and state-of-the-art control systems are more than enough to make you feel ready enough to challenge Sebastian Vettel and the rest of the pack.Seadunes marine boats:Tired of all those usual cruises at the Marina? Then get yourself one of these. A Southland pontoon boat will extend your personal space in to the water, while a Duarry boat will make you assert your ?undisputedcauthority? while sailing. Wow!Ultimate Heli remote-controlled toys: Toys? Betcha not; we?d rather call them mean machines. You can consider this heaven for RC enthusiasts, professionals, and your regular garden-variety man on the street. Engines alone border a thousand dirhams, so make sure you know what you?re doing when you start assembling your best flier.Lito Sora superbike: Everyone?s saying that being green and environment-friendly cancels out sleekness. Don?t tell that to Lito, because their Sora superbike is ?unique, different and (most of all) electric?. Full-throttle cornering, explosive acceleration and phenomenal torque. This bike?s for you.Bozzies custom bikes: So a Harley-Davidson is stylish enough, right? How about one of those given a bespoke customisation? That?s what you get with Bozzies. Mind you, riding on one will make you the bozz, er, boss of the road ? as long as you have at least Dh675,000.Nissan GT-R VVIP: Nope, you?re not cross-eyed; it is VVIP. Very, very sleek. The GT-R has always been up there with the best, and now Nissan has been able to come up with the answer to this question: ?Can we satisfy our driver?s every wish and every command?? Hop on one and find out.Hulme CanAM Spyder: Eye-popping is just one word to describe this 7,000cc, 600HP V8-engined monster. It?s a fitting tribute to Denny Hulme, New Zealand?s only F1 and double CanAM champion. It is just so cool.Esse Designs mobile luxury: So you?ve spent enough for your really expensive phone or tablet. Want to spend more? Get in touch with Esse Designs and have them mess up your phone with gold and diamonds. Also prepare to shell out an additional of at least Dh9,800 for the makeover.There are lots more eye-catching toys over at the event at Atlantis The Palm. But hurry up, as the show concludes today.alvin@khaleejtimes.comView the original article here
