Dubai prepares for the Middle East International Motor Show 2007

The 9th edition of the Middle East International Motor Show, the largest event of its kind in the region, is being touted as larger than ever before, and will be held from the 14th to the 18th November 2007 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Approximately 85,000 visitors from the GCC and its neighbouring regions will witness world premiers, latest launches and a dazzling array of cars being seen in the Middle East for the very first time.

The exhibition will also showcase 10 of the world’s fastest production cars, including the Shelby Aero, which recently screamed into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the fastest production car in the world.

This will be the first time ever that the Shelby Aero will be on display at a Motor Show event since breaking the record in October 2007.

Another highlight of the show will be the hugely popular West Coast Customs (WCC). Their presence at the show is all set to be awe inspiring, with a live on-stage car conversion demo for the first time in the region, as well as offering the original WCC merchandise. Adding a star-studded touch to the show will be the exciting Aston Martin DBS as seen in the 2006 James Bond film “Casino Royale”.

The unique ‘Cars of the Stars’ walkway will feature a galaxy of exclusive collectors automobiles, including the classic 1978 Rolls Royce that was used by the Queen of England during her last visit to the UAE, currently owned by H.E Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Alnahyan. The Motor Show audience will also witness the UAE’s first Solar Car.

A host of new and radical designs that could be the sign of things to come will be on display, as a cross-section of automotive designers from across the globe unveil the latest Concept Car creations.

Apart from experiencing the best from the world of automobiles, visitors also have a chance to walk away with some high-powered prizes, including the Yamaha Raptor ATV as well as limited tickets to the Dubai Motorsports Festival and lots more through other competitions, contests and challenges.

The 9th Middle East International Motor Show 2007 will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, from 14 to 18 of November. Opening hours are from 11am to 10pm on the 14, 15, 17 and 18 November and from 3pm to 10pm on Friday 16 November.
