Test drive an EV at MotorFest 2024
Find out what's in store at RACQ's celebration of the past, present and future of motoring.
RACQ MOTORFEST 2024 offers an exciting opportunity for visitors to explore firsthand the world of electric vehicles (EVs), with on-site test drives of some of the latest models.
RACQ Events Manager Tamara Van Der Walt said this year’s event on 16 June would have 10 different EVs available for patrons to drive at the Brisbane Showgrounds site at Bowen Hills.
“This is an exciting new addition to MotorFest and marks the evolution of our popular Future Zone which showcases the latest in sustainable transport options and emerging technologies,” Ms Van Der Walt said.
“Patrons will be able to learn more about EVs from experts onsite and experience the difference between driving a battery-powered vehicle and one with a traditional internal-combustion engine by getting behind the wheel of an EV.”
The Future Zone continues to grow and this year will include vehicle displays from brands including BMW, BYD, GWM, Kia, MG, Mini, and Polestar, with more to be announced soon.

Visitors to the Future Zone can also test-ride a range of different e-bikes and e-scooters.
The feature marque at MotorFest 2024 will be the vehicle that kick-started the US ‘pony car’ category, the iconic Ford Mustang which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
More than 80 Mustangs spanning six decades of the car’s storied history will be on display.
This year also marks the 120th anniversary of the Rambler, one of the first cars on Queensland roads, with a single-cylinder Rambler from RACQ’s historic vehicle fleet on display to give patrons a glimpse into our motoring past.
MotorFest will also include displays from various Queensland automobile clubs including BMW Queensland, the Vintage Car Club of Queensland and the Queensland branch of the Veteran Car Club Australia.
The MotorFest award winners will be announced on the day along with the prestigious Judges’ Choice winner, selected from the category winners.
This year’s categories are American, Asian, Australian, British, Electric, European, Motorcycle/Scooter, Veteran and Vintage and Modified.
