Here is what some of our previous exhibitors, sponsors and supporters have said about Barbican Turbo, the Middle East’s premier custom car show, including custom cars, modified cars, car tuning, bikes and motorsports.
"We at Aujan are happy to work with U.B.M. (Barbican Turbo) who use their international experience to create innovative platforms for events that enable us to activate our brands, Rani and Barbican, in an entertaining consumer environment"
Ahmed Shaboury, Head of Brands, Aujan
"The show provided us with a unique, and exciting, opportunity to promote our chassis dynamometers in an emerging performance marketplace"
Craig Mahoney, International Sales & Marketing Manager, Mainline Automotive Equipment
"Once again the show was a hit and brought out all the gear heads of the UAE. As a Top 100 judge it was my pleasure to see the enthusiasm built from last year and the effort put into building each show car. I look forward to next year’s event which I'm sure will be even bigger and better"
Mitch Perera, Sales & Marketing Manager, Liberty Motorsports, 2009
"Barbican Turbo has put the name of ‘Extreme Performance’ all around the U.A.E. and the region. You can hear people talking about Barbican Turbo months after the event, but you can’t hear anyone talking about a normal Motor Show even one week after the event!"
Abdulla Al Zaabi, General Manager, Extreme Performance
"There's only one place for the U.A.E.’s most passionate petrolheads: The Barbican Turbo Festival. That's why Wheels magazine is proud to support the event."
Tom Allen, Editor, Wheels magazine
"Barbican Turbo was an excellent opportunity for us as we gained recognition as a serious player...were able to capture some market share that was previously untapped, and were able to convert 5 more vehicles...We look forward to the next Barbican Turbo as this show is what we are all about and clearly differs from regular Motor Shows held in the country."
Mitchell Perera, Sales and Marketing Manager, Liberty Motorsports, 2008
"It is the best custom car show I've seen in years in the U.A.E. It has given a chance for the rich and not-so-rich enthusiasts to compete and display their custom, modified and tuned cars. It is also opening the doors for audio enthusiasts in the region to compete to an international standard"
Glenn Navarro, Sound-Off Team Leader and Core Member, The Society of Auto-Owners and Filipino Expats (S.A.F.E.)
"Barbican Turbo was a great experience and the biggest modified car show I have ever seen. It gathered custom car lovers from all over the country and that’s what made Barbican Turbo so unique…the event was fantastic!"
Antoine Waheed, Winner of the Best on a Budget Category, Barbican Turbo Top 100 2008
