LAS VEGAS – November 13, 2008: The city of sin. It‘s known as this because here, in the middle of the desert, some people gamble away house and home in one of the many casinos. Having said that, entertainers such as Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin have also appeared in Vegas and enhanced the glamorous image of the metropolis. So the fact that SEMA - the largest tuning trade fair in the world - is held here, suits it perfectly. The same goes for the suffix “show” which this event highlight for car individualists carries.

“It is important for ABT Sportsline that we are present at the SEMA, as in spite of the crisis the USA is still one of the core tuning markets”, says Hans-Jürgen Abt.
