Autocar Performance Show 2014

• The Autocar Performance Show brings some of the hottest cars and bikes, cool accessories, high-performance upgrades and performance tuning products each year. Last year, the list of luxury brands that showcased their cars and products went far and wide. This year, Lamborghini has brought in the Huracán, which was launched earlier this year. Also showcased will be a re-created Batmobile, Range Rover long wheelbase version and the Bentley Continental GT. The recently-launched-in-India BMW M4 and the new Minis are also on display this year.

•  The Autocar Performance Show is undoubtedly a landmark event on all Mumbai-based petrolheads’ calendar every year. This year’s APS finally kicked off today at the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai. In its 10th year this time, this four-day event is being held over December 11-14.

• The 2014 edition is even more special because the Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione hot hatchback and the luxurious Hyundai Genesis are making their India debut at the show. On the two wheeler front, the Italian motorcycle maker Benelli has also showcased its entire soon-to-be-launched line-up, for its first public showing. Triumph and Harley-Davidson will also be grabbing the centre stage among two wheelers.
• If you’re more of a person who likes to get involved in the action, Maruti is back with its autocross track at the show, to give people a chance to drive their own cars under expert supervision. Here, anyone can go pedal-to-the-metal and experience the dirt track. On the other hand, if off-roading is your thing, then there is the Mahindra & Mahindra 4x4 Zone where one can experience overcoming loads of slush, gravel, dust and mud obstacles in a Mahindra & Mahindra SUV.
• Also held alongside the Autocar Performance Show is the Stuff Gadget Show, which is in its third year this time. With a long list of brands participating, the highlight is the Gaming Zone, where all participants have a chance to win some exciting Dell Alienware goodies. Also showcased are some of the hottest gadgets on the market.
• Nishant Padhiar, editor, Stuff Magazine India said, “The Stuff Gadget Show received a tremendous response in its first two years, and we expect a similar response this year. We have a broad range of some of the most exciting gadgets that are on the verge of re-shaping the future of consumer technology products in India, and we are proud of being the first ones to bring them here”.
