With modifiers bringing show cars to Abu Dhabi from as far away as Oman and Qatar last year, Konig Wheels want to get in on the action. Hamid Moaref, Manager of Konig Wheels & Accessories division in the Middle
East states: "We’ve been strong supporters of Barbican Turbo from day one - it’s important to have a show dedicated purely to customising vehicles in this region; and this year we’re delighted to extend our support for Barbican Turbo and the Top 100 - It’s all about finding the most stylish ?show cars? in the region and this fits perfectly with the Konig Wheels brand as our motto is ?style is king?!"
The Top 100 competition which launched in 2008 and was an astonishing success sees the region’s most insane modified rides battle it out for the prestigious "Car of the Festival" trophy and other exhilarating prizes - won last year by amateur Ahmed Zayed with his deep red Ford Mustang and professionals Liberty Motorsports with their seriously pimped orange Cadillac Escalade.
The organisers, United Business Media are already receiving entries amid rumours of the most dedicated fans building project cars specifically for the show. Matt Tarrant, Show Manager of United Business Media’s Barbican Turbo festival highlighted "We’re extremely pleased to be receiving entries to the competition already and are delighted to have the support of Konig Wheels; they have an amazing range of designs and their discount for this year’s competitors of 20% is very generous".
