Talking about the show, Mr. Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor, Autocar India said, “The show is all about performance and power. We have understood over time that our patrons and Indian audience is becoming more open towards performance machines in terms of raw power and hence, we aligned the APS 2017 in line with our consumers’ needs and expectations from us. This year was definitely bigger and better than the previous year, and the customised vehicles on display were a cherry on top for the spectators. And adding to the style, power and performance, it was great to have John Abraham come and support our show!”

I, myself, am a super-bike fanatic, and it is awesome to see our younger generation, who not only are embracing the trend but understanding it from a technology point of view and taking a keen interest in it. It was a fabulous show this year, and hats off to the Team Autocar for creating a property that truly embraces the concept of PERFORMANCE and POWER!”
