Abu Dhabi: If you have $600,000 sitting idle in your bank, you can be the proud owner of a BMW car that can transform into a robot in 30 seconds.

The mean machine, called Letrons, will make its global launch during the Big Boys Toys (BBT) exhibition at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec) which kicked off on November 23 and runs until November 26.

Everything from gadgets and automobiles to handbags and futuristic fashion accessories, the event offers some of the most advanced products from around the globe.

Visitors can witness a host of headline product launches, including the world’s fastest street legal production bike (MTT 420 RR), 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 (Flaris).

Other highlights include robotic window cleaner, jelly fish aquarium, 3D printed musical instruments, a boat that resembles a sports car, luxury wrist-wear and semi-submarine penguins that offer underwater rides .
