Doha, February 3, 2015:
His Excellency, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior for the State of Qatar, will cut the ribbon and officially inaugurate the fifth edition of the Qatar Motor Show. After declaring the show open, His Excellency will be taken on a tour to visit the exhibitor stands and engage with the participating exhibitors directly.
“The presence of the Prime Minister, who will officially inaugurate the 5th edition of the Qatar Motor Show, is indeed a testimony to the gravitas of the much awaited annual event. The Qatar Motor Show is not only an event of great importance to the international and regional automobile industry, but also in enhancing Doha’s position as a MICE destination. Additionally, this exhibition is also the most eagerly awaited annual event for automobile and motor-sports enthusiasts who make it a point to attend every year”, said Mr. Ibrahim Abdullah Al Malki, Chief Enterprise Officer, q.media.
The most anticipated event of the Qatari calendar will officially be launched on the 5th of February, and will open to the public the next day while running continuously for five days until the 10th of February. Like the 2014 show, this year’s event will be co-hosted by the Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), q.media events, and Fira de Barcelona. The Qatar National Convention Centre remains the venue for this year too.
The inauguration of the Qatar Motor Show by His Excellency is of significant prestige for the event. The Qatar Motor Show has been substantially contributing to the national economy and reinforcing the image of Qatar within the region and internationally. With the country working on fulfilling the pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030, His Excellency’s patronage of the Qatar Motor Show 2015 demonstrates the show’s key role within the broader framework.
This year, the stage is set for an absolutely high-octane ambience. Recently added to the reveals are prestigious French brand Bugatti, well-loved Japanese brands Suzuki and Honda and the well-known American brand Chevrolet.
Bugatti will present the iconic Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, the fastest production car at the Qatar Motor Show 2015. This brilliant piece of automobile technology has stunned the world since July 2010 with a record breaking top speed of 431.072 km/h, making it the fastest super car in the world. This record remains to be beaten and will thrill the visitors at the show as the models displayed here will be from the limited World Record edition.
The fourth generation of Honda’s 2015 CR-V will also be displayed at the Qatar Motor Show 2015. This SUV is of particular significance for the Middle East as its exterior has been designed to meet the requirements and demands of customers from the region. This model is also generating tremendous excitement amongst Honda fans with its new Earth Dreams Technology™ direct-injected 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that powers this exquisite model.
Fans of Suzuki are also in for a treat with the Japanese giant unveiling its line-up of superb Middle Eastern market collection including the Ciaz, the Alto K10 and the Ertiga.
American automobile brand Chevrolet has lots of excitement for its fans, as it will reveal three new cars - the Tahoe Z71, the Corvette Z06 and the Silverado Reaper.
In the past few weeks, brands like Rolls Royce, Lamborgini, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Harley-Davidson already revealed their product line-ups and model launches for the region.
Qatar Motor Show’s 5th edition is ready to surprise and delight its visitors, very soon.
