Pristine Professional Systems Sean Simmons adds the finishing touches to the Ferrari stand.

One of the fastest, slickest and powerful cars in the world will be at this year's Brisbane Motor Show.

The Ferrari is one of the fastest cars in the world, reaching speeds of more than 300km/h and you can check it out at the Brisbane International Motor Show 2008.

Cars from countries including Britain, Germany, Italy, South Africa, the US, France, Sweden, Thailand, Japan, Belgium and Mexico have travelled thousands of kilometres to make it to this year's show.

And after a two-year absence motorcycles have returned due to popular demand.

Event spokesman Chris Nixon expects more than 100,000 people to attend the 10-day event at Brisbane's Convention and Exhibition Centre.

“There's plenty of drawcards this year including the debut of the first Australian version of the Maserati GranTurismo, a luxury high-speed Italian car,” Mr Nixon said.

“There's more than 400 cars and motorcycles at the show and we expect to sell more than 1000 new vehicles from 30 exhibitors.”
