What a shame... Look like they have fun on the beach... Weather broke everything but this stage was the worst one ever... Near to my city - 2km from my home.. Noone expect rain at those days

A few from the Frankfurt 2013 Motor Show...

Volvo Concept Coupe

useless · 22-09-2013 7:27pm

Porsche 918 Spyder

useless · 22-09-2013 7:31pm

Honda NSX Concept

My rubbish photos don't do justice to this at all- it looks absolutely fantastic in the metal.

useless · 22-09-2013 7:34pm

BMW i8

Again, looks way cooler in the metal...(or carbonfibre, if we're being pedantic.)

Tesla Model S

I was looking forward to seeing this, since I thought it looked not-too-bad in all the photos and the reviews Id read were reasonably positive. I came away after 5 minutes thinking that the only people who would buy this with their own money are people fascinated by the electric technology and who get a kick out of being 'first' to have something... The build quality is appalling- panel gaps you could fit a finger through, rear light clusters loosely fitted, really cheap looking interior plastics, plasticy looking leather. Felt like it was going to fall apart. All this in a car that costs over 100k in Germany.
Would be different if it were the Lotus Elise-a-like sports car model where it could be sold on performance, but this thing is supposed to be designed and built as a daily driver.
Having seen how much cash BMW appears to be throwing at electric cars, and the fact that every manufacturer had some kind of e- or hybrid version of a mainstream model, I'd fear for Tesla. I think their future lies in licencing the technology, because they're rubbish at building cars.

Carbonfibre Lamborghini from the taste-free zone of Mansory

useless · 22-09-2013 7:49pm

Altogether more attractive Lamborghini Squadra Corse

useless · 22-09-2013 7:51pm

S-Class Coupe Concept - sorry for the rubbish photo.

Ballsbridge today.

The Mercedes-Benz stand at the Frankfurt Motor Show

useless · 22-09-2013 7:58pm

A couple of Bugattis

useless · 22-09-2013 8:03pm

Jaguar F-Type R

and their SUV concept, CX17. Awfully disappointed by this too- I think it looks more like a Lexus or a Mazda, not a Jag.

useless · 22-09-2013 8:05pm

BMW concept, rumoured to be BMW's attempt at an S-Max/Zafira/Picasso

useless · 22-09-2013 8:09pm

An actual S-Max, or at least the concept for the 2015 version. Doesn't look massively different to the current one on the outside, when you take away the massive wheels and add some door handles.

useless · 22-09-2013 8:18pm

Finally, some more concepts that will likely never see the light of day:

Opel Monza

Renault- to me this looks awfully similar to a Saab concept that was launched just before they went bust.

Audi Nanuk and Quattro concepts.

Cadillac Elmiraj

Peugeot Onyx

Great pics eehhhh... "useless". Lived in Germany for a few years, car shows were one of the highlights, never missed Franfurt for several years.

The Renault looks like a baby Keoniggsegg, I was reading about the Sport quattro, seems it's going to cost near to €200,000 with a 690bhp powertrain. I think it looks fabulous, just wish they'd put a smaller engine in it to make it more accessible and affordable.
