| The Essen Motor Show Will Celebrate Its Anniversary The Essen Motor Show will celebrate its anniversary: In 2007, it will go to the starting line at Messe Essen for the 40th time: On December 1 9, the global fair for automobiles, tuning, motor sport and classic cars will once again be the meeting place of automobile passion. The annual automobile fair with the highest number of visitors in Germany will provide new impetus on its round birthday. Fresh ideas will ensure even more drive for the most multifaceted automobile fair anywhere in the world. Modified thematic structuring of the individual groups of the range on offer will guarantee quick orientation for the visitors and will allow the exhibitors to reach their target groups of visitors in a selective way. For example, Hall 3 will form the platform for vehicle manufacturers presenting their new products - from small cars to super sports cars. The exhibition in Halls 1 and 2 will focus on original equipment suppliers and on the fields of tyres, wheel rims, chassis and accessories. No fewer than eight halls (4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) will bear the motto "Tuning and Accessories". The world's largest tuning show will be jam-packed with the range on offer on the global market for more automobile individuality and sportiness. Members of Verband Deutscher Automobil Tuner (the "Association of German Automobile Tuners") will once again present themselves in the noble ambience of the "Tuning Salon" in Halls 10 and 11. Not only noble antique car rarities and youngtimers but also a wide range of oldtimer spare parts and accessories on offer will be the centre of attention in the accustomed place in Hall 6 as well as in the upstairs halls (6.1, 8.1 and 9.1). "80 Years of 1000 Miglia" will be the subject of a special presentation about the history of the long-distance road race first staged in 1927. Action, party and bizarre things will be promised by the new concept for Hall 1 A: The "Show Center" will turn into the "Essen Showground" - an automobile party zone. Not only will the lowriders dance here but the most extraordinary private vehicles will also be honoured in car cruizer competitions. In the limelight too: dragsters, show cars and show bikes, art and sound cars as well as the most beautiful noble bikes from the bikers' meeting in Daytona in 2007. The programme will be rounded off by various events. The main special show subject "40 Years of International Automobile Racing" will be presented in Hall 7. In analogy to the 40-year duration of the fair until now, racing vehicles which have caused a sensation in the last four decades will be on display. They made automobile history in the Formula 1, sports car, touring car, CanAm and Indy categories. The latest racers from the elite class of automobile racing, Formula 1 in 2007, will be exhibited in a special show in Hall 5. This will be a presentation of the high-tech racing cars with which the best drivers contested the World Championship title. In 2007, Messe Essen will devote even more attention to the subject of motor sport. The "Motor Sport Mile" in the Galeria will be extended. Companies, motor sport associations and race organisers will make the Galeria the meeting place for fans and active racers. Here, one particular highlight will be the new Motor Sport Innovation Forum in which new technical developments for racing will be introduced. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
