The Supercars – Lamborghini, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes (with AMG) will be taking the centre stage. Other major players like Skoda, Chevrolet, Fiat, Ford, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai would pump in some more adrenaline rush to the gala event, by putting together some of the best vehicles from their stable.
Apart from this, an Apollo tyre design contest would be held. Last year, the Apollo stand saw over 4,500 visitors trying their hand at designing a tyre to win the I-phone as a prize. This year, the stakes have risen with enthusiasts given the task of designing tyres for performance cars.
