Welcome to Horizons Unlimited!
So you plan to ride to Dubai, then ship/ferry to Iran?
Unfortunately I've NEVER heard of anyone trying that - doesn't mean it's not possible though. Please keep us posted on how you do! Sorry I can't be more help.

In 2010 I imported a car in Tehran to get the CPD deposit back: we left the car in a yard and the customs stamped our carnet (it was a Renault 5, so the deposit was the minimum, way much more than the value of the car).
The customs yard was full of luxury cars with Dubai plates. They told us that the owners were fleeing Dubai because they had debts there and in order the avoid prison. They took the ferry to Bandar Abbas, which was pretty common as a few days trip. They actually left the cars in Tehran and flew out from there. Apparently, the Dubai authorities were less suspicious about them fleeing the country by sea.
So, old information and just an anecdote, but crossing by ferry with your car was a pretty common trip at the time. I also presume that no CPD was required to Dubai residents. I cannot imagine the deposit for a Porsche 911 or a Lamborghini.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
