A slice of Hollywood roars into Lisburn for Star Car Show
Northern Ireland is just days away from one of the most spectacular automotive weekends of the year, as the Star Car Show rolls into the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn this Saturday and Sunday (August 29 and 30).
With the countdown now well and truly underway, thousands of car and movie fans are expected to descend on the Eikon Exhibition Centre for a unique weekend celebrating some of the most recognisable vehicles ever seen on screen - alongside Supercars, American Muscle, Classics and some seriously unusual machinery.
From fan-built replicas of the Bat Cars and Lightning McQueen to the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee, Ghostbusters Ecto-1, Herbie, the DeLorean time machine, KITT from Knightrider and Jurassic Park style jeeps, the show brings together an extraordinary collection of famous cars from film and television.
One of the biggest talking points will undoubtedly be the arrival of the Tesla Cybertruck — one of the most distinctive and controversial vehicles of the modern era.
Star Car Show organiser Mike Barr said: “We’ve been working towards this weekend for a long time and it’s fantastic to finally be able to say that Star Car Show is almost here.
“What makes the show different is the variety. You can see full-sized recreations of cars we’ve all grown up watching on TV and the big screen then turn around and find a supercar, an American muscle car or something completely unexpected like the Cybertruck.
“There really is something for everyone, whether you’re a serious car enthusiast, a movie fan or simply looking for something different to do with the family this Bank Holiday weekend."
