Standing tall amid an array of head turners will be Letrons - a car that can transform into a robot and back in 60 seconds.

The Transformers reel fans can get to feed on some real time action as the world's first car to transform into a robot will flex its muscles.

Exhibition director Atif Malik said the BMW-to-robot machine will go under the hammer with bids starting at $600,000.

"Visitors can start their bids from the first day and the highest bidder at the end of the exhibition will get to keep Letrons."

On the bidding, he said: "It's named - Antimon - the leader of Letrons. It is one unique product we have for now. So this is very special."

Elaborating on the specification of Antimon, Malik said: "This is a driverless car. More proper term would be it's remote controlled. There is no one who sits inside. That's how the transformation takes place. It has electric engine and can run at 20km/hr," he told Khaleej Times.

So, this car can't hit the streets?

"No. This is about owning your fantasy. If you are looking to spend $600,000, we are looking at high net worth individuals. They look at things that no one has or anyone thinks is possible. This is an interactive robot and there are different articulation points that do move around. So, this is a cool thing to have," Malik said. "Moreover, the UAE is known for owning the best of the rest that none has in the world. So we are in the right market."

On the birthplace of Letrons, he said: "This was made in Turkey by three engineers and they can roll 20 cars annually. It also depends on the design of the car. They are working on a unique design for Letrons."

On further plans for Letrons, he said: "Advancement on this would be a boy or a girl being able to drive it and then transform into a robot.

"Next year, we will see Letrons that moves around, it will have legs just like we have seen in movies. Antimon is the leader and more will follow with different characteristics."

Malik said future exhibitions can happen in the open where flying suits and many fantasy league gadgets can be showcased. Iron Man flying suit, supersonic drones among others are all being experimented.

There are many products that will be unveiled during the course of the jamboree. The showpiece includes, world's fastest street legal production bike, one of the world's most powerful cars boasting fighter jet technology for the first time in automobiles and the smallest and fastest single-engine jet.
