| The 2010 Paris Motor Show opens its doors to the world’s press on Thursday and the public during the weekend, and we’ll be bringing you all the latest news, gossip and reveals directly from the show floor.
But as the excitement builds ahead of the show, the question remains: What are we most looking forward to? Well, Paris is always an important show on the industry calendar, and the city’s glamorous reputation is always an inspiration to put on a spectacular show. And as the car business emerges from the global recession, it looks to come across leaner, meaner and ready to tackle the latest challenges -- one of the foremost among them being how to make green cars as sexy as their conventional counterparts.
Here, then, are some of the most exciting debuts coming our way as the show unfolds. Of course, there will be plenty of surprises along the way, so make sure you stay tuned for all the latest news from Paris 2010.
BMW Concept 6 Series Coupe
The new X3 is BMW’s big production debut for the Paris Motor Show, but of equal interest is the Concept 6-Series Coupe, which previews the next generation of BMW’s sporting coupe. Can the post-Bangle 6-Series live up to the current car?
Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
OK, we know the 599 SA Aperta is based on an old car. But chopping the roof off the 599 GTB Fiorano has transformed an already stunning car into something truly spectacular -- spectacular enough, in fact, to sell out before the show.
Fisker Karma
Fisker’s Karma luxury hybrid has been seen in various forms since its unveiling in 2008, but the car at Paris promises to be the first proper pre-production example. Able to go from a standstill to 62 mph in just 5.9 seconds, the plug-in Karma is both sexy and green.
Citroen DS4
The DS3 has been a critical success for Citroen, and in Paris hopes will be high for the next chapter in the DS-branded "posh Citroens" story: the DS4. Based on the new C4 and boasting raised ride height and other distinguishing features, it’s another interesting step forward.
Porsche 911 Speedster
Another motor show, another 911 variant. Really, we should be over it by now, but Porsche
