Full Gallery: The 2011 Frankfurt IAA Motorshow
The biggest auto show of the year is about to open up to the public in Frankfurt and we have a sneak peak for you. Obviously MINI was on hand to show-off the new coupe. But without a world debut or surprise concept our attention quickly turned to the rest of the show. BMW was showing off the new 1 Series five door hatch and of course the i3 and i8 concepts that debuted earlier this summer. Elsewhere VW had the new UP and Beetle R on hand as well as the new 911 (which is sorta technically a VW now… right?). You can check out all 200 photos after the break.
<p>Me gusta FT-86 II. It’s not your father’s Toyota.</p>
<p>Still don’t know why you would even bother to show up at a prime autoshow if you have nothing going on. Seems like a huge waste of money to show nothing at all that is going to catch anybodies eyes.</p>
<p>the wrap around glass on the Alpha has a real Lancia Stratos vibe to it..</p>

<p>That first photo is effin sexy! The way the lights dance along the roofline. Looks great! :)</p>
<p>is the new Up! any different from the old Up!? They’ve been showing that concept for like 3 years now. When are they gonna build the darn thing? Probably won’t come to the US anyway since they always keep their most interesting options out of this market.</p>
<p>That side view of the MINI Coupe with gray body/black roof & those wheels really is a winner. </p>
<p>Agree. It’s the first shot I’ve liked since the blue/blue with white-stripe concept. Seems to have achieved a certain aggressiveness that the production photos have been missing for me. Anxious to see it in person.</p>
