The Sydney round of AutoSalon, which features Australia's hottest modified streetcars, is on at the Sydney Showground at Olympic Park this weekend.
And the feature car is the unbelievable Air Rider, claimed to be our only vehicle capable of leaping off the ground on all four wheels.
Unlike previous showcars that have had the ability to rock back and forward leading to two wheels leaping off the ground, Air Rider goes all the way. By deploying the innovative use of air-suspension technology, the humble Holden ute, which was built in Sydney late last year, is propelled up to three metres off the ground.
More than 300 wild machines will be on show from 10am-10pm today and 10am-7pm tomorrow.
Apart from the cars, there is the new MCX scene, the first championship for modified motorbikes. Choppers, street fighters, American cruisers and monster customs (the two-wheeled version of monster trucks) will compete in this inaugural event.
AutoSalon events will be held around the nation culminating in the grand final in Sydney at the end of the year.
