Auto Trader Live will showcase more than 300 of the world's most beautiful, expensive and aggressive luxury and super cars, taken straight from the pages of our magazine. To reflect the magazine, all of the cars in the show are for sale including a private car paddock for individuals wishing to sell their own luxury car. The show will be exclusive to top marque brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls Royce, to name a few.

Auto Trader Live is being held at Dubai Festival City from 28th February to 02nd March 2013 and is expected to attract up to 50,000 visitors over the 3 days. Entry to the event is free for all visitors and there will be an exclusive VIP pre-show viewing for invited guests.

Or should you just hang out at the Malls to see the same things..? rolleyes

looks dire, shoehorned into a small area where the kart track is. indoor will be typical al awir overpriced trinkets, outside is private sales which will be a mix of wrecked, ragged and swarowski'd exotica.

in other words, could be amusing.

Not sure if you've got the wrong area in mind - not that small (we ran an event for 4,000 there a couple of months back plus we had Kylie perform there) and none of it's indoor? The marks on the ground are not from a kart track - this was from a drift event held a couple of years back (shows how often Google update their maps.

Either way, as you say, cars are likely to be ragged and way out of us mere mortals price range but should be nice to walk around (in the same way Al Awir is).

Saw a couple of cars I'd never actually seen in the flesh before, including a glorious (but yellow) Carerra GT. And it was free. What's not to like?

Loved the show!

sat in a Quattroporte and a 458 Spider, man the Quattroporte is small (I'm a giant so YMMV).



Yes, that's an Enzo, F40 and an Orange Koenigsegg CCXR in front of me. And a limited edition Aston Martin Cygnet (apparently 1 of 14).
