About the show

GT Show is a car modification culture show built around the aftermarket trade rather than around new-car sales. Its floor runs from complete-vehicle conversions, brakes, suspension, forced induction and ECU calibration through body kits, wheels and tyres to the films, polishes and workshop supplies that keep modified cars on the road, with a section given over to off-road and outdoor equipment and another to models, apparel and simulators.

The audience mix is what sets it apart from a conventional parts fair: workshops, modification shops and detailing studios buy on the floor while a large walk-in public turns the halls into a consumer event at the same time. A programme of summits, competitions and enthusiast gatherings runs alongside the exhibition, and a strategic partnership links the show with Germany’s Essen Motor Show, one of the three major modification shows worldwide.
