The 2018 Bangkok International Motorshow is a GO! Here’s the video of the launch gambit that happened earlier today…
As you can see, it’s been a tradition of sorts for BIMS to have all heads of the various car companies taking part to be up on stage for the official opening ceremony, which is something quite unique to BIMS; can’t think of another motorshow that does this.
So let’s get on with it shall we? Here’s the first official photos from BIMS 2018! More to come so stay tuned!
FORD…
Undoubtedly, the star of BIMS 2018 is the all-new Ford Ranger Raptor. Here’s the launch video taken moments ago…
Boasting 500Nm of torque, it’s one of the most striking vehicles at BIMS this year, and garnering the lion’s share of shutterbug action, not to mention selfies with the thing…
It costs B1.69 million here, which works out to about RM170,000, and is slated to be launched in Malaysia by the middle of 2018. We can’t wait!
PORSCHE…
Needless to say, the new GT2RS is getting the most attention at the Porsche pavilion! And it’s easy to see why…
MERCEDES-BENZ…
Achingly gorgeous is the new GTc AMG, crews were constantly wiping drool off the car, I kid you not…
And of course this mean green machine parked next to it wasn’t short of attention either…
KIA…
Ah, the Kia Stinger! Seen it in the metal at the MAI Malaysia Autishow last year, but it still takes my breath away…
AUDI…
Check out how much the new R8 Coupe costs!
Yes, that’s just shy of Baht 19 million!
Well, no one wants to read about a motorshow, so enjoy the photos below cos I’m heading back into the show! Stay tuned for lots more to come! – Chris Wee.
