KUALA LUMPUR, 30th September 2015 XLR8 is set to thrill Malaysians and motoring enthusiasts with two days of adrenaline-filled motoring activities and display of the world's most desirable vintage and sports automobile, as well as iconic cars made famous by movies and television series, this 3rd and 4th of October at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside.
XLR8 will rock Pullman Putrajaya and its surrounding areas from 10am to 6pm daily and admission is free. XLR8 is organised by Astro Digital Publications, which publishes 9 print magazines and 17 e-magazine variants, including its own motoring publication, Car Magazine Malaysia.
Donald Cheah, General Manager Print/Digital of Astro Digital Publications said, We are a car-loving nation with over 600 thousands new cars sold yearly. XLR8 celebrates Malaysians' life-long passion for automobile by bringing the most sought-after cars and thrilling motoring activities under one motoring event.
Among XLR8's key attractions are:
King of Clubs, Car Magazine Malaysia's premier event, which kicked off successfully last year. The 2015 edition of King of Clubs will take it up a notch higher by opening participation not to just the European-car clubs, but also the Japanese-car clubs. Participants will be vying for top prizes and the ultimate bragging rights of becoming the best car club in Malaysia. To get there, they would have to complete motoring-based challenges such as Gymkhana, Precision Driving, Pit Stop Challenge, Racing Simulator, Remote-control Cars and Treasure Hunt. Each challenge will earn team precious points; team with the highest score of the day will earn the title King of Clubs.
Tarmac Warriors, where our very own Flying Sikh, Karamjit Singh, will perform stunts in highly-tuned AMG cars. Spectators will be wowed by tyre-squealing, exhaust-firing manoeuvres that defy the laws of physics.
Movie Icons showcases cars that have been immortalised by their iconic appearance in movies and television series. Fans can get up close and personal with Herbie, Mr. Bean's Mini, Triple-X's 1965 Pontiac GTO and the car that have fired many imaginations the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a.k.a. KITT from Knight Rider.
Asia Klassika is for the fans of vintage cars. They will get to see some of the rarest cars that have ever graced Malaysian soil. Whether it is American Muscle, German Power or British Suave, this classic car exhibition get fans longing for the golden age of motoring.
XLR8 is presented by the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 97 with Advanced Energy Formula. Sponsors of the event include Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, MY Motor, Kurnia and DMAX.
PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad (PDB) is proud to present our new Euro 4M-compliant fuel, the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 97 with Advanced Energy Formula. We are honored to share the stage with XLR8 in showcasing our world championship winning fuel, which has been proven on the Formula One tracks and translated to everyday driving to provide superior acceleration and improved drivability, said Shaharuddin Muhammad Sidek, Head of Retail Business, PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad.
