Apart from being able to get a glimpse of the enchanting machines and latest auto and performance trends showcased by world renowned automotive brands, visitors also got an opportunity to witness a line-up of eight vintage cars from 70’s such as Trans AM with a corvette engine outside the QNCC building. One of the cars was Audi Aztec which is a limited edition car with only 15 pieces in the world. What makes it unique is the signature of the Maserati CEO on its exterior. Organised by Mawater, an initiative of the Ministry of Youth & Sport of Qatar that attracts great events and activities in respect of motors, the vehicles left spectators in awe.

Another attraction of the show was the ‘One Second Campaign’, conducted by the Traffic Department where visitors above 16 years old could enjoy driving a 3D simulator in accordance with the Qatari traffic rules and regulations. Organised by the Ministry of Interior and sponsored by Maersk Oil Qatar, the activity fascinated a huge crowd.
