The Frankfurt Motor Show has always been a place where the German car makers showcase their best machines and their rivals pose a challenge for them. This year was no different with beautiful cars like the Bentley and the Rolls Royce setting the tone. The other super cars adding the charm to the show included the Lamborghini Reventon spider, Ferrari 458, a Porsche, the Mercedes SLS and the Aston Martin Rapide.
The carmakers at the Frankfurt Motor Show have tried their best to cut the use of fossil fuel in their cars and produce cars which are more eco-friendly and out of all the exhibitors at the show, Mercedes came out on top in this respect. The focus of the automakers has also shifted to the use of batteries in their cars. Renault and Peugeot have already a line ready to launch by 2011. The Show also saw Tesla throwing its electric sports car in front of the audience as did Mercedes AMG with its SLS version and Audi with the electric R78 derivative.
Michael Macht also expressed his views and was convinced that Porsche will also have an electric sports car of its own pretty soon. For people who embark on occasional long trips, Choca provided the answer. The car has hybrid plugins which can be recharged and you can cover as many as 30-50 miles before petrol or diesel engine takes control. The Frankfurt Motor Show mainly had cars with a low-carbon technology on view which seems a major threat for small budget independent companies.
