Essen Motor Show 2015

Essen Motor Show 2015 

Essen Motor Show Invites Visitors to the Ruhr Metropolis on the 

Occasion of the Performance Spectacle 

Fans of the Automobile Fair Experience Manufacturers and Special Shows at Close 

Quarters 

It's showtime: The Essen Motor Show, Europe's leading fair for performance 

vehicles, will present unadulterated automobile enthusiasm from November 28 to 

December 6 (November 27: Preview Day). At Messe Essen, over 500 exhibitors 

will display performance series vehicles, tuning, motorsports, classic cars and 

motorcycles. Leading automobile manufacturers such as Skoda, Peugeot and Ford 

as well as Citroën Racing, DS Automobiles Motorsport and Lexus Racing will rub 

shoulders with their fans at the fair. Moreover, the Mercedes Fan World will once 

again be represented with a large booth. The tyre sector will step on the 

accelerator with Continental, Hankook and Toyo. 

The wheel rims will never sparkle more beautifully: Premium manufacturers such 

as BBS, Borbet, Brock, Ronal and Vossen Wheels will present wheels for every 

taste on their booths. Appropriate chassis solutions will be shown, amongst others, 

by H&R, Koni, KW automotive and ThyssenKrupp Bilstein. In addition, important 

associations will participate in the fair: As the ideal sponsor of the Essen Motor 

Show, ADAC ("General German Automobile Club") will provide information 

about its commitment to motorsport and its racing series with vehicles and drivers. 

On the first day of the fair, Verband der Automobil Tuner ("Association of 

Automobile Tuners") and the Tune It! Safe! initiative will also unveil the new 

campaign vehicle of the initiative - traditionally, a tuned police car. 

Action and Passion: DMAX Motorsport Arena and tuningXperience 

Apart from the appearances of the manufacturers and the associations, two things 

will count for the fans of the Essen Motor Show: action and passion. The hot spots 

on the fair site will include the DMAX Motorsport Arena in Hall 7 in which racing 

series and drifters will present themselves - including a drift taxi for brave fans. The 

tuningXperience which will occupy not only Hall 12 but also Hall 8 this year will 

supply material for tuning dreams. Around 150 private tuning vehicles will unite 

nearly all the varieties from the daily driver to the high-end show car. The special 

show will be unique in Europe and one of the highlights of the year for the scene. 

There will also be custom cars as well as other special exhibitions about hot rods in 

the Galeria and, for the first time, about US cars in Hall 4. 

Graham Hill Becomes World Champion - and James Bond Stars in Dr. No 

Automobile designers and manufacturers, including Giugiaro Italdesign, IED and 

Zagato, will show their ability within the framework of their own exhibition. The 

spectrum of the around ten vehicles will extend from the one-off sports car to the 

study. Next door, the visitors will breathe motorsport history: A special show 

about 65 years of the World Formula 1 Championship will present well-known 

racing cars from the past decades in hall 3. When Graham Hill raced to the title in 

1962, another Briton saved the world for the first time - at least in the cinema. 

James Bond starred in Dr. No at that time and, on the occasion of the start of the 

new blockbuster film with Daniel Craig, the Essen Motor Show will display several 

vehicles which fans will know from the James Bond films in halls 10/11. 

100 Years of BMW History and Motorsport Encounter Superquick Bikes 

In 1995, Her Majesty's secret agent drove a BMW for the first time and thus caused 

a sensation - because the producers had indeed preferred British vehicles above all. 

In the Classic & Prestige Salon in Hall 1, the visitors to the fair will experience that 

Bavarian sports cars are an absolute match for their counterparts from the island. 

There, the organiser S.I.H.A. will present a special show about "100 Years of BMW 

History and Motorsport". Traditionally, the manufacturer's portfolio also includes 

motorcycles - one main focal point at the Essen Motor Show, too. The highlights 

awaiting the two-wheeler fans will include the Harley Davidson Würzburg Village, 

the Streetlights dealer for scooter tuning and spare parts as well as the VTO 

manufacturer. In addition, the Speed Bike Show will display modified bikes at, in 

part, breathtaking speeds. 

Motorsport Sector Convenes and Celebrates the Conclusion to the Season 

The motorsport sector will mark the conclusion to the season in Essen. Apart from 

the appearances of the manufacturers and the racing series, the fair will be 

characterised by motorsport, above all on the Preview Day on November 27. On 

the occasion of the Sponsors Motorsport Summit, the organisers are expecting 

several celebrity speakers who will explain the latest trends and developments all 

around the racetrack. The Race Night in the course of which Axel Springer Auto 

Verlag will honour the racing driver and sports car of the year will form the 

crowning conclusion to the Preview Day. Moreover, a large number of active and 

former racing drivers will visit the Essen Motor Show throughout the period of the 

fair for events and autograph sessions.
