Now that the Frankfurt Motor Show press days are over, it’s time to look back at this year’s event and focus on the things that deserve a place in our memory.
We’ve had tons and tons of motorized reasons to enjoy our trip here. First of all, the show solved a lot of problems we noticed during our test drives. There’s the Ferrari 458 Speciale, which promises to cope with the the oversteer exaggeration of the 458 Italia. We also got the Bentley Continental GT V8S, a model that aims to make us feel less of the vehicle’s extra fat.

Then we got cars that can only make one act childish, such as the production Porsche 918 Spyder or the Concept S-Class Coupe.

And this year’s Frankfurt was a bit of a time machine, with companies like BMW, Mercedes or Toyota striving to give us production hybrids or EVs: hyper-green cars that you can drive Now.

As always, there were plenty of reasons to visit Frankfurt even for those less interested in the automotive phenomenon. We’re talking about the Girls of Autumn.

And for the ladies and gentlemen who do care about the car world, we’ve got the video below to show what the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show was like.
