September 2009
This week sees the Frankfurt motor show open its doors to the press, with public days from September 17-27.

It’s the biggie of the motor show circuit, too, with hall upon hall of new metal and the big German brands – Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and VW - particularly keen to impress on home turf.

And fear not, as the wealth of new cars at the show includes an abundance of performance stuff. Particular highlights include the Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes SLS AMG, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and BMW Vision supercar concept.
