Virtually all types of cars were on display from modern-day sports cars to classic and rally cars. Some companies also showcased concepts and prototypes. Day one of the event focused on racing cars while the following day hosted historical vehicles. Contemporary supercars on show included the McLaren P1, Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and Enzo and Mercedes-AMG GT.

Meanwhile, some of the rally cars that garnered attention included Group B’s stars such as the Audi Sport Quattro S1 and more. DTM Series duo of the E30 M3 driven by Steve Soper and the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16V Evo II driven by Klaus Ludwig were also present.
