In Essen, the love of cars has its traditional place. From November 30 to December 8 (Preview Day: November 29), the Essen Motor Show once again invites its fans to a fast-paced spectacle. Around 500 exhibitors from 15 countries will be presenting breathtaking super sports cars, customized tuning creations and motorsport in nine halls. There will also be a comprehensive range of parts and accessories. "Time to shine" is the motto of this show and once again promises plenty of sparkle on car bodies and in the eyes of visitors at round 56.
"The Essen Motor Show is a festival for all car fans. We celebrate the car without ifs and buts and regardless of the drive system. For us, combustion engines are just as much a part of it as electric vehicles," emphasizes Ralf Sawatzki, Project Manager of the Essen Motor Show. He can point to the fact that the only annual German motor show takes place in Essen every year. It attracts an audience that obviously enjoys the vehicles.
High performance and racing in Hall 3
Under the title "Performance & Racing", Hall 3 will focus on sporty production vehicles, tuning and racing. A special highlight is a special on 40 years of the DTM, which takes fans on a journey through the history of Germany's most famous racing series.
Trade fair returnee Skoda has its sights firmly set on the future: the Czech car manufacturer will be presenting the German trade fair premiere of the electric SUV Elroq in Essen, which will go on sale from 2025. There will also be new exhibitors such as Dickie Spielzeug, eBay Motors and Lego, which are aimed at more than just the next generation of petrolheads.
Halls 5, 6 and 7 are dedicated to tuning, accessories and lifestyle fashion. Here, visitors can discover new trends and products to transform their vehicle into a unique work of art. These include customized rims and suspension systems, individual paint finishes and custom-made interior and exterior modifications.
Anyone still looking for inspiration is guaranteed to find it in the "tuningXperience" in Hall 5, where visitors can expect to see around 150 private vehicles from all over Europe, showcasing a variety of model types and tuning trends.
Safe and reputable tuning
Tuning? Of course, definitely in Essen! But not everything that is technically possible is permitted. That's why the initiative "TUNE IT! SAFE!" initiative, which provides information about safe tuning at the show and shares know-how with fans. As a reminder not to overdo it, visitors can find out their points score from the Federal Motor Transport Authority free of charge. As a special eye-catcher, the initiative will unveil its new campaign vehicle on the first day of the show: a tuned vehicle with a police look. However, the initiative will not be using it to hunt down offenders, but rather to promote serious tuning in the coming year.
In addition to tuning fans, the Essen Motor Show also inspires motorsport fans and offers an impressive variety of racing cars and technology. In Hall 8, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the fastest sport in the world. The exhibitors include well-known clubs, racing series and race tracks.
In addition, the trade fair will once again be an important meeting place for active motor sports enthusiasts this year. Among them are current and former professionals who will be signing autographs and answering questions from their fans.
Time travel in Halls 1 and 2
The Essen Motor Show is without question a motorsport spectacle. But it also has its classic side. This is particularly evident in the "Classic & Prestige Salon" of the organizer S.I.H.A. in Halls 1 and 2. Here, several hundred classic cars, youngtimers, super sports cars and prestige automobiles provide for nostalgic feelings. Many of the extraordinary exhibits are for sale, and there are also several themed shows.

On the two weekends, the opening hours range from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m., during the week from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Tickets and information are available at www.essen-motorshow.de.
