Although the Frankfurt Motorshow (IAA) won't open its doors to the public for another four weeks, news about the planned releases reaches our desks on a daily basis now. This week we preview five of the novelties. In recent years the French manufacturers have surprised many with exciting concept vehicles that often formed the basis for future products. If the public's reception of the Citroen C-Sportlounge is positive then it could very well be added to the marque's line-up. Renault's new design direction will be further enhanced with the high performance Clio Sport Concept and the Egeus Concept. Volkswagen is set to expand to expand the Golf range with a convertible in Frankfurt, but for now has only released details of the 250 bhp Golf R32.
The summer season is dominated with historic car events, which annually brings out some of the finest vehicles produced in the 20th century. At the recent Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance the best of show was awarded to the unique Mercedes Benz SSK Murphy Roadster. At last year's European Concours one of the most beautiful cars lined up was the 166 Inter Stablimenti Farina, which is among Ferrari's earliest road cars. Europe's most famous Concours is the annual Villa d'Este gathering at the shores of lake Como in Italy. A star of this year's running was the completely original 6C 2300B Worblaufen Cabriolet, which was first unveiled at the 1938 Geneva Motorshow.
