Today the biennial Frankfurt Motor Show or IAA kicked off with the first of two press days. The list of new releases is seemingly endless and we would like to kick off our coverage with a look at eight of the most interesting debuts.
Lamborghini took the wraps off the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale; the most extreme version of the V10-engined model yet. It is inspired by the Super Trofeo competition that races in a one-make series. Production will be restricted to just 150 examples. The Italian manufacturer also confirmed that a very limited series of the even more extreme Sesto Elemento will also be built. Deliveries of the ten cars are scheduled to start early in 2013. Fellow Italians Maserati took the gathered media by surprise by launching the Kubang, a near production ready SUV. It will be built on Jeep underpinnings but with a Modena developed engine and an eight-speed gearbox.
Lotus revealed a heavily revised Exige S. The small sports car has received a completely restyled body and the supercharged V6 engine already found in the Evora S. The ambitious British manufacturer also announced the Exige R-GT rally version that is scheduled to compete in several tarmac rounds of the WRC. Another racing car unveiled in Frankfurt was Mercedes-Benz' all new C-Coupe DTM. This next generation touring car will race in the popular championship next year against similar machines from Audi and BMW.
Among the many concept cars launched was the F125!, which is built to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the automobile. The two-door coupe features a fuel cell that powers four wheel-mounted electric motors. The star on Volvo's stand was the Concept You, which serves as a preview of an upcoming large sedan from the Swedes. During the design process input from the global car buying public was used.
In the following days the remaining releases will also be added to our database.
