Mercedes slr Roadster
Mercedes-Benz showed off its new supercar, the SLR, to be built by McLaren in Britain, almost a year ago. At Frankfurt it was the turn of the SLR roadster - and as the centrepiece of the Mercedes hall it went straight to the top of every car enthusiast's wish list. The 200 mph convertible boasts dramatic looks and a special hood that keeps the rain out but lets the light in. With its sky-high price it would only ever be sold in tiny numbers to the mega-rich, but Mercedes has not yet confirmed it will make it. The coupe goes on sale in 2003.
AudiA2
Audi's smallest car is also one of its technologically most important. The A2 is made from light but strong aluminium and tips the scales at a remarkable 895 kg, boosting performance and saving fuel. The A2 is a short but tall car and offers what Audi claims is an exceptionally spacious interior. Diesel and petrol 1.4-litre engines are available, both giving 55 kW for top speeds past 170 km/h, with average fuel consumption of 4.2 1/100 km for the dieseland6.il/100kmforthepetrol.
FordFcs
The new car, a rival for machines such as the Renault Scenic and Opel Zafira, boasts Ford Focus looks but a much bigger body to give room for extra seats. What it won't have in production form, at least not until 2004, is the hydrogen fuel cell equipment that Ford has cleverly packaged inside this special FC5 shown in Frankfurt.
Vw Concept d
In a show littered with more world debuts than ever, the company behind most of them -the VW Group - also took the wraps off the show's most controversial new car, the VW Concept D. Huge, streamlined, equipped with a vast array of features and powered by 10 or 12-cylinder diesel or petrol engines, the Concept D aims to take on top-of-the-range cars from Mercedes and BMW for the first time.
Seat Leon
The Volkswagen group, which among its many brands counts Skoda and SEAT, had some important world debuts for ordinary motorists at Frankfurt. On the SEAT stand was the Leon, a Golf-sized hatchback based on the firm's Toledo that aims to muscle in on what is Europe's biggest sector of the market. There's a big range available -right up to a four-wheel drive version with 130 kW. The Leon, on sale now, ranges in price from DM26,450-DM40,990.
BMWZ9
BMW took the prize for surprise of the show with an extraordinary-looking GT coupe unlike anything in the current range. Although the Z9 won't be built in this form, the concept does hint at what future BMWs will be like, including more muscular styling, gimmick-free interior (the dashboard has hardly any switches) and weight-saving construction. The doors are novel: you open a normal one for access to the front or, if you have rear-seat passengers, swing open the whole side of the car. The Z9 is powered by a 3.9-litre V8 diesel engine, indicating that BMW believes its efficient new-technology diesels are now powerful and refined enough even for high performance sporting cars.
