Loading ...More that 20 cars will make their global debuts at the motor show (july 23 - August 3) at ExCeL, London.
This year the new Vauxhall Insignia will be one of the most significant unveilings. Both fleet and family buyers will be queuing at the Vauxhall stand to get a look-see, and its predicted to be a bigger sales success that the car it replaces, the Vauxhall Vectra.
It goes on sale in both hatchback and saloon forms throughout the UK in October, and parent company GM promises the Vauxhall Insignia will take the brand to a new level in terms of quality, refinement and design.
Famous British badge Lotus is also set to wow the show crowds by unveiling its first all new model in 12 years.
It is still very much under wraps until next month, but the mid-engined, 2 plus 2 sports car has been codenamed Project Eagle. In other words. it’ll be a true Lotus pedigree flyer.
Petrolheads will be keen to see other performance focused global debuts including that of Ford’s super hot Focus RS, which the blue oval firm says is the fastest and most dynamically advanced Focus ever.
One of the world’s most prestige weight-punchers - the 200mph Bentley Continental Flyer Spur Speed - will also make its debut. Like the original Flying Spur, this has taken on the mantle of being the fastest saloon car in the world.
As well as those 20-plus world firsts, more than 30 additional vehicles will make their UK debuts, ranging from exhilarating sports cars to futuristic concept vehicles.
The full list of global debuts will be published nearer the show, as some premiers are still to be announced.
The show will host 60 vehicle manufacturers, with more than 15 exhibitors coming to ExCeL for the first time, including Ferrari, Maserati, Subaru, and Suzuki, and more that 600 vehicles will be on display.
The broad range of attractions - on water activities, childrens driving experiences, a music festival and numerous other interactive features - will ensure there is plenty to do for non car fanatics.
