The 10-day motor show at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) will end on Dec 2.
The Petronas area was a beehive of activity, with visitors constantly surrounding a Formula One racing car courtesy of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport and racing bikes from the Petronas Yamaha SIC MotoGP team.
At the Petronas area, a range of Mercedes-Benz cars namely the A 200, AMG C 43, S 450 and CLS 450 coupe, and racing simulators as well as a special room that offers an immersive surround-view experience of Petronas' Fluid Technology Solutions for vehicle performance were also big hits with visitors.
Among the visitors was 34-year-old Zuharri Yusoff who drove from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan with his wife and children.
"I want to expose my young kids to the exciting automotive world. It's the weekend and the motor show is a good event where I can spend quality time with my family," said Zuharri.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old automotive distributor Kent Lim opined that the motor show was "pretty impressive in terms of activities."
"It's my first motor show and I think it's very cool. For me, the beautiful ladies (brand ambassadors) is a highlight," said Lim.
As for 24-year-old student Vernon Raj, the Art of Speed Zone which showcases the latest custom-built bikes is a prime attraction.
"I find the motor show to be quite exciting as there are so many varieties of vehicles," he said.
