Update 10:56 AM: Tuning Booths.
Brabus was our first stop, they have the new Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4^2 with power increased to 500hp. It looks just as brutal as their G63 AMG 6×6. Mansory has brought out all their latest toys including the Bentley Continental GTC, Flying Spur, Rolls-Royce Wraith and a couple of Porsches.
So far so good, the Bugatti Vision GT has been revealed and is one of the highlights from the show. Hyundai will showcase a similar Vision GT concept too and it’s equally wild. Porsche’s answer to the Tesla Model S is the new Mission E electric concept car with 600hp and a 500 km range. Lastly but not least is the new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder shown here in blue and orange.

Tonight we attended the Volkswagen Group Night ahead of the IAA 2015. Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Porsche, Volkswagen and the other Volkswagen Group brands wowed the crowds with their latest production- and concept cars. After the show the crowds rushed to the stage to take a closer look, our photographers Zaid and Niels battled their way through it to bring you their report of the Volkswagen Group Night at IAA 2015.
Love the context well placed in order. Makes it very readable and presentation is just fabulous. This is why GTSPIRIT one of the best when it comes to automobile coverage.
