Motorshow ready to roll as build-up begins

Signages, flags and buntings were being hung up while the insides of the halls were ringing with the sounds of hammers and drills as the basic skeletons of the exhibitors' stands began to take shape, setting the stage for a far larger and more comprehensive event this year. In terms of number of exhibits this edition of the show is 83 per cent larger than the last event.

More than 64 manufacturers, customisers and designers from 17 countries will unveil the latest in cars, luxury vehicles, four-wheel drives, sports utility vehicles, concept cars, bikes, trikes, quads, off-terrain buggies, high performance sports cars, custom-built vehicles, commercial vehicles as well as motor parts and accessories, lubricants, car cosmetics, finish products, and a host of automotive accessories. This year's event is expected to attract in excess of 75,000 visitors.

This year's edition of the Motorshow also marks the Middle East debut of the 4x4 off-road-circuit which will provide a one of its kind demonstration circuit covering an area of up to 4,000 sq.m. The circuit will be an interactive feature that will provide exhibitors with an attractive and effective prospect to introduce their cars to the end user for test drives and thereby help boost sales.
