    Auto shows are undoubtedly the best way to get thousands of car buffs in the same room to talk about, well, cars. While giving car lovers the opportunity to get together and explore everything auto, these shows also provide the perfect platform for leading manufacturers all over the world to showcase their new models and upcoming concepts, so it’s no surprise that a select few have quickly skyrocketed to the top of the ‘must see’ list. Pack up your UKEHIC, your visas and your plane tickets and get ready to jet off, because here, we’re exploring the top 5 auto shows from around the world that car lovers need to visit in their lifetime.

    Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung/Frankfurt Motor Show

    Quite possibly the biggest motor show in the world, Germany’s offering in Frankfurt is a yearly event that alternates its focus – what this means is that one year, commercial vehicles are shown, and on the next, passenger vehicles take the focus. Having started in the late 1800’s, Frankfurt’s auto show is one of the longest standing in the world and has grown considerably since its early days. Visitors will gain access to some of the world’s biggest and best innovations in the commercial vehicle industry at this year’s show in September, though the full list of exhibitors won’t be available until July.

    Paris Motor Show

    Paris is a stunning city filled with art, so where better than France’s capital city for an auto show dedicated to auto design and fantastic engineering? Paris Motor Show was actually the first to ever be held and while it’s not necessarily the most popular currently, it still sits firmly in the top five. This motor show is an ideal place for car designers across the world to show off their new creations and latest concepts for fans and carmakers alike to admire. However, this show is only once every two years, so you’ll want to plan your trip in advance! The next show takes place on 4th-14th October 2018.

    Woodward Dream Cruise

    Perhaps one of the most well-known of all the car shows in America, the Woodward Dream Cruise is home to some of the world’s biggest and best muscle cars. With more than 30,000 to gawk at, you can watch each and every one as they gather on Woodward Avenue in Detroit and cruise along. This event brings in thousands upon thousands of spectators every year for this single-day event that takes place every year on the third Saturday of August.

    Auto Shanghai

    China’s industries are some of the most complex and popular around the world, and the growing love for all things automotive has meant that Auto Shanghai’s popularity skyrocketed over the past few years. One of the youngest auto shows in the world, it was first introduced in the 1980’s but has since gained traction as one of the best platforms for American and European car companies and their new models. Every two years, this show sees countless brands show off their new models to the Asian market and every time the event is held, more and more visitors are recorded.

    Pebble Beach Car Week

    For a taste of the ‘high life’, the Pebble Beach Car Week in California is chock full of auctions, vehicle judging, supercars and celebrities. You’ll find some of the world’s rarest models here, and every year, more and more cars are auctioned off for millions of dollars to millionaire and celebrity buyers. This week is full of events to enjoy, even if you don’t quite have the funds to pick up a car for yourself!

    Auto shows are not only a great way for brands to show off their new models, but it also gives potential customers and car fans the opportunity to get a taste of what the future holds in the automotive industry. Which one will you visit first?

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Welcome the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 4MATIC to SA 🇿🇦

Front and rear motors delivering 350 kW and 858 Nm of torque for a 100km/h sprint in 4.2s and a WLTP range of up to 535km.

Pricing is estimated to be R2,200,000.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
