The 15 most significant cars of the 2011 Frankfurt motor show

Over 100 new cars were unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, but which are the most important? From production cars to concepts that will never be built, CAR's road test editor Ben Pulman, decides on the 15 most significant models premiered at the IAA...  1 – Land Rover DC100 concept Chunky and funky, it’s Land Rover’s Evoque, the Defender urbanised, modernised and stylised for the 21st century.

Mazda might not have planned on revealing the 2014 Mazda 3 lineup until next year, but photos showing the redesigned sedan and hatchback may expose the car’s lines a few months ahead of schedule.

Gone is the controversial “smile” grille worn by the 2012 Mazda 3.

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 15 September 2008 12:14 This weekend’s Goodwood Revival 2008 is set to be the most expensive yet – the grid for the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration race has been independently valued by Bonhams automotive auction house at an eye-watering £85 million. The valuation for the one-hour, two-driver race closed-cockpit GT cars – which originally took place at Goodwood between 1960 and 1964 – makes it the most expensive grid of historic racing cars ever to appear together in one race. Goodwood Revival 2008: the drivers' list Derek Bell, Martin Brundle, Patrick Tambay, Jean-Marc Gounon, Christian Horner, Richard Attwood and Jackie Oliver will take to the fast and tight circuit in some of the finest and most valuable GT racers ever produced.The list of entrants reads like a Who's Who of schoolboy fantasy garages, including the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, GTO and 330 LMB, AC Cobra and two original Shelby American Cobra Daytonas, an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Project 214, plus the Lightweight Jaguar E-types.
