Video: Falcon races car in UAE desert; can it win?
Dubai - Watch UAE culture win in this nature vs machine race.
Titled 'The Chase', the video brings alive the flight of the Peregrine falcon, considered to be the fastest animal on earth clocking 290 km/h (180 mph) in a dive, against the Golf GTI Clubsport, which can speed up from 0 to 100km/h in 6.3 seconds and has a turbocharged 265 hp direct-injection engine. It is a nature vs machine race.
In the end, it is the car which overtakes the falcon, but the eventual winner is the UAE's culture that is the show-stealer in many ways.
Falcons are strong, fast fliers with great aerial agility. Since falcons fly and live in greater heights, it is too difficult to see and observe its movements and behaviour. Steeped in UAE's tradition, falcons are treated with paramount importance and are held at a high pedestal.
