The concept takes inspiration from the legendary Bugatti racers of the 1930s, namely the Type 57 G Tank that won overall at the 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans, but at the same time it previews the marque’s new design language. Yes, it may not be destined for production but the lines of the concept likely preview Bugatti’s Veyron successor due out next year.

Honda Project 2 & 4: Honda has combined its motorcycle and automobile expertise to develop a radical concept car that’s meant to remind us of the Japanese automaker’s performance past. So what exactly is the Project 2 & 4? We can’t see much in the teaser, but we do know it will be powered by the same engine found in Honda’s RC213V MotoGP racing bikes, namely a 1.0-liter V-4 delivering over 230 horsepower.

Sporty Nissan Crossover: Nissan is planning to unveil a sporty crossover concept in Frankfurt. British media are calling it a preview of a sporty crossover to replace the 370Z, though it could simply turn out to be a preview of the next-generation Juke, the current version of which already fills the sporty crossover segment at Nissan. All we have at present is this sole teaser shot.

Peugeot Fractal concept, 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show

Peugeot Fractal concept, 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show

Peugeot Fractal: Concept cars can run the gamut from the spectacular to the mundane. Some are spectacularly unrealistic fantasies, while others are barely-disguised production models. Peugeot's Fractal concept doesn't quite fit into either category, though. The car features a two-door body with a removable roof, and an all-electric powertrain. However, it seems even more attention was lavished on the interior where 3D-printed parts represent more than 80 percent of the trim.

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider: Ferrari’s new 488 GTB is about to spawn a convertible in the form of the 488 Spider. The car is an update of the 458 Spider and comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V-8 that spits out an incredible 660 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. It’s virtually identical to the 488 GTB coupe except for its roof, which is a retractable hardtop made from aluminum. The roof folds backwards in two overlapping sections to rest flush on the engine, and the whole process takes just 14 seconds.

The big news is the adoption of a new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine in the base Carrera models. Soon, every 911 bar the track-focused GT models will be turbocharged.

2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe

2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe: Mercedes-AMG’s new C63 Coupe based on the C-Class Coupe has finally landed, and as expected the car looks like a mini version of the stunning S63 Coupe. From its pumped fenders to its carbon fiber attachments to its burly V-8 engine, the C63 Coupe is blessed in every way a performance fan could ever desire. Of course, you won’t be able to truly appreciate the car until you drive it but the specs are tantalizing to say the least.

2017 Audi S8 Plus

2017 Audi S8 Plus

2017 Audi S8 Plus: Audi still hasn’t confirmed its new S8 Plus for sale in the United States but we sure hope it comes. Tired of seeing Mercedes-Benz have all the fun in the full-size performance sedan segment, Audi has turned up the wick on its S8 so that the car’s engine now produces a full 605 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque (553 lb-ft with overboost). With its extra urge, Audi says the S8 Plus will hit 62 mph from rest in just 3.8 seconds.

Sin R1 RS: Bulgaria’s Sin Cars has been involved in motorsports for years. Recently, the company released a track-only model called the R1. In Frankfurt, we’ll see a new road-going version of the R1. Compared to the track car, the road car has a number of upgraded comfort and safety features.  The standard powertrain is General Motors Company’s [NYSE:GM] 6.2-liter LS3 V-8, rated at 430 horsepower.

LUXURY CARS

2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn: Rolls-Royce’s long-awaited Dawn convertible is coming to the Frankfurt Auto Show. The car is described by Rolls-Royce as the “sexiest” model to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy, and after looking at the official shots we have to agree. Though the car is essentially a convertible version of the Wraith coupe, 80 percent of its body panels are unique. Sales in the United States are confirmed to start early next year.

2017 Jaguar F-Pace

2017 Jaguar F-Pace

2017 Jaguar F-Pace: Jaguar is entering new ground with its first-ever SUV, the recently revealed F-Pace. The vehicle is designed to go up against premium small SUVs like Mercedes-Benz’s new GLC as well as the BMW X3. What makes the F-Pace stand out from the crowd is its aluminum-intensive construction, namely the lightweight iQ[Al] platform that features in the latest XE and XF sedan models. Combined with some pretty sophisticated chassis technology, the lightweight yet rigid construction should ensure the F-Pace handles brilliantly and like no other SUV in its segment.

2016 BMW 7-Series

2016 BMW 7-Series

2016 BMW 7-Series: We’ve already had a chance to drive BMW’s new flagship sedan, but it’s Frankfurt debut will be the first time that the public gets a chance to see it before it heads out to showrooms. This is the sixth generation of the luxury icon, and while it may look a lot like its predecessor there’s an impressive number of innovations that have taken place under the skin. In the United States, the car arrives in 740i and 750i xDrive variants and with the long-wheelbase bodystyle only. Next year, a 740e xDrive plug-in hybrid model will join the lineup.

2017 Infiniti Q30

2017 Infiniti Q30

2017 Infiniti Q30: Infiniti is about to enter the premium compact car arena with the new Q30 hatchback. It was in Frankfurt two years ago that Infiniti first previewed the Q30 with a thinly-veiled concept version, and at this year’s show we’ll finally see the production version. The car is on track to arrive in the United States next spring, and it’s only direct rival will be the Audi A3 Sportback. Note, the Q30 isn’t the only compact Infiniti on the way. A QX30 compact crossover is also coming. We’ll see it at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet

2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet

2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet: The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is one of our favorite cars, particularly in high-performance Mercedes-AMG tune. It was one of the most interesting and attractive debuts of 2014, and now it’s been joined by a convertible variant. Mercedes hasn’t sold an S-Class convertible since the 1960s. Like its W111 and W112 series predecessors, the new S-Class Cabriolet offer unmistakable, exclusive design combined with the finest materials and state-of-the-art technology.

2017 Audi A4

2017 Audi A4

2017 Audi A4: Come 2016, buyers in the market for a small sports sedan with a touch of luxury are going to be spoiled for choice. In addition to the existing Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, all impressive cars in their own right, we’ll see the arrival of an updated BMW 3-Series plus all-new contenders in the form of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE and this redesigned A4. In the United States, the new A4 will launch with two engine choices, both of which will come exclusively with quattro all-wheel drive. Fuel economy numbers aren’t yet available, but Audi says fuel efficiency will be improved by 21 percent to go along with some extra power.

Teaser for new Borgward SUV debuting at 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show

Teaser for new Borgward SUV debuting at 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show

Borgward SUV: Many readers won’t be familiar with historic German brand Borgward, since the company originally went bankrupt back in 1961. That’s set to change, however, as the company has been revived and is planning to show its first new model in half a century in Frankfurt. The new model will be an SUV that is expected to come with a fuel-efficient powertrain as well as some pretty advanced infotainment and connectivity features. The company remains cautious and hopes to be seen as a manufacturer of “accessible” premium cars.
