2007 Dubai Motor Show + Festival of Speed(pics added)

Steeroid · 12th November 2007, 13:05

If any of you guys live in Dubai, are currently in Dubai or are passing thru Dubai between the 14th and the 18th of this month, its time for the 9th Middle East International Motorshow.

This time around the bi-annual event will be held at the Convention Centre as usual, but there will also be a Festival of Speed at the Dubai Autodrome on the 16th and 17th (weekend) which will feature the final round of the FIA GT3 series European championship, a Speedcar Series race featuring various V8s, Formula Renault and several other minor races plus lots of entertainment, stunts etc.

Highlights of the Dubai Motorshow are expected to be:

1. The World's Fastest Production car, the Aero SSC on display for the first time since its official launch.

2. The new cars from several manufacturers, almost all limited edition cars except the Lambo Revention.

3. The KTM X-Car

4. Droptop Rolls and Droptop Mclaren SLRs.

5. Some talk about the RS5, but I think this is mostly rumour.

6. The usual exotic limos, super super stretch limos, mad ATVs and the like. More participation from two-wheelers.

Got some pics yesterday - pretty bad because I had to use my camera without a proper flash or tripod.

Will be going back tomorrow with the flash (cant carry a tripod around) and will get better pics.

Till then, these will have to suffice:
