If that wasn’t enough, the city’s best auto tuning companies will be competing to achieve the best car transformation involving engine, interior, exterior, sound and lights as part of a car modification workshop where spectators are promised some incredible paint jobs and custom crafted creations. ‘Project Overdrive’ will also take place alongside the workshop wherein strategic partners, Top Performance, will completely strip down a classic 1971 Nissan Datson Z240 leaving just its chasse to modify it into something out of this world.

The highlight of the event, however, will be a series of electrifying underground parties hosted by European Mobile Media Association (EMMA), taking place on 14 and 21 April in the basement parking of the destination. Think Tokyo Drift, gorgeously modified cars, open hoods, roaring engines and a sound system competition which will all be a part of the hottest underground party in town. There will also be a resident DJ on the decks spinning pumping tunes making both parties something to remember.
