2024 Dubshed

April 17, 2024April 17, 2024 by TomBoyNI

2024 Dubshed : 6th & 7th April 20324 : Eikon Centre, Lisburn, Northern Ireland :

The show season kicked off in spectacular style at the start of the month with 2024’s edition of Dubshed. Back again at the Eikon Centre, Lisburn this year £25 got you two full days of displays and exhibitions. With a wind storm whipping up a gale on Saturday (and Sunday to an extent) having the majority of the show indoors led to a much more comfortable experience. Although it stayed dried, much to the relief I am sure of those enthusiasts who were displaying their motors outside.

By a strange twist of fate not prebooking your tickets was an advantage as the queue for prebooked customers was massive compared to those who just appeared at the door. The organisers though have already said this will be addressed next year, however that is about the only negative thing I have to say.

With 2 Halls full of cars there was plenty to look at. Hall 1 had its Dubshed focus firmly on the VW / VAG Group vehicles with everything from spotless classics to heavily modified modern vehicles, the standard of car on display was exceptional.

Hall 2 then took on the rest of the motoring world with everything from hypercars, supercars, JDM, drift machines and American marques all well represented.

Hyundai i20N and I30N Discontinued in Europe

Hyundai i20N and I30N Discontinued in Europe :

After many months of rumours that that the facelift for Hyundai’s Hot Hatches (the i30N and i20N) was just around the corner, then for almost as long the counter argument that the models were about to be discontinued the facts have emerged.

Hyundai have confirmed that as of February 2024 the petrol ‘N’ models of their vehicles have been discontinued in Europe. Hyundai will now focus their N-Car division on EVs and continue towards their carbon goal of Net Zero.

In an official statement, Hyundai said: ‘Production of the ICE N models has ceased for the European market starting from February, in line with our commitment to offering a zero-tailpipe-emission line-up to our customers by 2035 and to operating 100 per cent carbon neutrally by 2045. Going forward in Europe, Hyundai is developing Hyundai N as a pioneer of high-performance EVs. Our customers will benefit from technological developments that will make EVs even more attractive in the future.’

GTINI has grown Dubshed from small beginnings at the King’s Hall in Belfast, to a massive 2 day show encompassing a wide variety of car based entertainment for all the family.

What you will find here is a photo slideshow of a selection of the show cars from the interior halls.

The main hall features the VAG vehicles DUBSHED is famous for and Hall 2 was open to all manufactures and had some great vehicles on show right across the modifying spectrum.
