FOURTEEN GLOBAL LAUNCHES, FORTY REGIONAL LAUNCHES - DUBAI INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW TO NEW LEVEL
With a line-up of the most famous brands on four wheels scheduled to unveil their latest models, marques and technological marvels to the Middle East region and the world beyond, the scale of the 10th anniversary Dubai International Motor Show is exceeding all expectations.
Running from 16 – 20 December 2009 at the Dubai International Convention Centre (DICEC), the show promises fun, action and entertainment for the whole family.
The cancellation and downscaling of automotive events around the globe in the year, and the decision by a number of premium automotive manufacturers to make Dubai International Motor Show their global launch platform of choice, reaffirms the importance of Dubai and the Middle East region to the motor industry.
Established in 1991, the Dubai International Motor Show has risen above its global counterparts to present an unprecedented 14 global launches, 40 regional debuts and more than 200 new model introductions as it celebrates its 10 anniversary this year.
Among the models making their worldwide debuts at this year’s show include the Arash Super Cars AF-10, Kepler Motors, Mercedes-Benz G Class ’79 Edition and Renault’s GCC Fluence. They will be joined by a host of tuning and modification programmes including Fab Design’s Porsche Panamera Widebody, McLaren Desire Roadster and Mercedes SL Ultimate, the Hamman BMW X6M and X5M and the Revere 2010 Range Rover Sport HSR. Brabus will also surprise the motoring world with its two world premieres, while BF Performance will unveil the Versace Lamborghini Murcielago GT660 by Auto Track.
The added excitement of concept cars being showcased on a number of exhibitor stands, and a myriad of special offers, interactive activities and opportunities to win fantastic prizes during the five-day event promise to make this year’s show the most exciting to date.
“The region’s passion for innovative car design and performance, as well as its relative resilience in a challenged industry means that the Dubai Motor Show has gained even more importance for the motoring world,” said Trixee Loh, Senior Vice President, Exhibitions, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), organiser of the show. “Without doubt, to be hosting global launches for such high profile brands as Arash Super Cars, Kepler, Mercedes-Benz and Renault puts the Dubai Motor Show and the Middle East in the world spotlight, and ends the year on an undeniably positive note.”
As well as the spectacular new models on display, the Dubai International Motor Show will celebrate its 10th anniversary in style and provide something for everyone during the event. Visitors will stand the chance to win one of six cars worth a combined value in excess of AED 1.5 million. Visitors will also be able to watch a Lexus being coated in gold leaf and take part in the ENOC Green Route throughout the show.
Dubai International Motor Show will be held from 16 – 20 December 2009 at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC). Opening hours are from 11am to 10pm each day except Friday 18 December 2009, when the show will be open from 3pm to 10pm. Tickets cost AED 40 per person for the Dubai International Motor Show, or AED 50 for entrance to both Dubai International Motor Show and Outdoor Adventure Dubai, which takes place concurrently. Both tickets include free entry into the Mega Car Prize Draw for 6 cars. For more information, visit http://www.dubaimotorshow.com/.

BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi Sign Up for Middle East’s Premier Automotive Event Dubai International Motor Show
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Good news for the hundred thousand motoring enthusiasts expected to visit this year’s Dubai International Motor Show, is the confirmation that Germany’s top three motor manufacturers – Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz - will showcase some of the most exciting models on four wheels during the 10th anniversary event in December.
The big name brands join a growing list of international exhibitors preparing to unveil their latest models, concept cars and technological innovations during the five day event running from 16 – 20 December 2009 at the Dubai Intern
ational Convention Centre (DICEC).
“With a number of motor shows either cancelled or substantially scaled down, it is testament to the region’s resilience that the Dubai International Motor Show has maintained its scale and importance as the largest and most prestigious automotive event in the Middle East. We are delighted to have such heavyweights as Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz all launching new models during the show,” said James Raffoul, Industry Group Manager, Dubai World Trade Centre.
BMW is scheduled to unveil two of their groundbreaking hybrid vehicles, with the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo and BMW X1 models joining a line-up of models demonstrating BMW’s industry leadership in technology and luxury performance.
“The Middle East is a key market for BMW Group and its importance is reflected in the scale of our participation at this year’s landmark Dubai International Motor Show,” said Phil Horton, Managing Director of BMW Group Middle East. “We are sure that the latest innovations and models taking centre stage on our stand will create the excitement, passion and joy for which BMW is renowned. In addition, this year MINI turns 50 so we’ll have two limited edition models on display that have been produced to celebrate this landmark birthday.”
Celebrating its centenary this year, Audi promises to make a powerful statement at this year’s Dubai International Motor Show by showcasing several of its latest lighthouse models, including the A5 Sportback, an innovative 5-door Coupé concept, the new A5 Cabriolet and the fantastic Audi R8 V10. Jeff Mannering, Managing Director of Audi Middle East, comments “Amidst the financial crisis Audi has moved from contender to industry example, earning s
trong profits, increasing market shares and hiring in times when others are firing. With the Middle East being one of our core markets, the participation in the Dubai Motor Show is unquestioned and we will use the opportunity to show the source of our success: simply our cars.”
Set to display a total of 17 cars this year, with the fabulous ‘gullwing’ sports car Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG taking pride of place, the premium German manufacturer will also showcase its sporty range of AMG models and highlight its ‘green’ credentials with the debut appearance of the impressive S400 – the first series luxury production car to feature a hybrid drive system with a lithium-ion battery to go on sale in the Middle East and Levant.
Mr Frank Bernthaler, Director of Mercedes-Benz, Middle East and Levant commented: “The Dubai International Motor Show has always been of vital importance to Mercedes-Benz in the Middle East, allowing us to showcase our market-leading range of luxury sedans and SUVs and reach a knowledgeable and growing audience from across the region. And to mark this year’s 10th anniversary, we are planning the Middle East debut of our latest sports car, the fabulous SLS AMG ‘gullwing’, that pays homage to the original vehicle that made its first appearance at the 1954 New York Motor Show.”
Joining Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz, exhibitors at this year’s motor show include Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Daihatsu, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, KTM, Lexus, Mitsubishi, MINI, Peugeot, Renault, Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Shelby Super Cars and Volkswagen, with first time appearances from AC Cars and Luxgen.
