From Max Verstappen's Formula 1 car, to Valentino Rossi's BMW or the very first Porsche 356 - car enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice at the International Motorshow Luxembourg this weekend!
From Friday to Sunday, motorsports fans will gather at the Luxexpo The Box exhibition halls in Kirchberg to marvel at the array of machines on display.
Spa Grand Prix commercial director Stijn de Boever says: "The advantage of this show is the opportunity to get close to all the vehicles. We might not be able to actually sit in them, but visitors can touch their favourite vehicles."
Thanks to the show's partners Red Bull and Officina Caira, visitors to the 24th International Motorshow Luxembourg will even be able to view the Formula One triple world champion Max Verstappen's racing car up close this weekend - a rarity in the Grand Duchy!
After missing out last year when the show had to make way for the Expogast Show, this year's edition promises to be exceptional, say organisers. "There will be a lot of people, judging by the pre-sales," enthuses Pole Position director Christian Jupsin. "It's already a hit!"

The Motorshow is a "360° event about everything related to cars," Jupsin continues. It will not only showcase Verstappen's Red Bull F1 car, but also Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou's Alfa Romeo F1, as well as nine-times motorcycle world champion Valentino Rossi's BMW M4 GT3 WRT. "It's complicated to be able to exhibit all these vehicles, but we really wanted to deliver good content," the organiser admits.
Although the Motorshow has a particular "racing" flavour this year - including an electric Formula E model, driven by Stoffel Vandoorne and Jean-Eric Vergne - the event is also aimed at regular car owners, offering information on topics such as installing electric chargers at home.
Vintage car enthusiasts will also have plenty to enjoy, with a number of collectors' cars on display from the Group B period, while there are also two flagship exhibitions - one dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Porsche and the other to the 120th anniversary of Harley-Davidson.
And if that wasn't enough, the event also includes drift shows, stunt shows, and races featuring X-Cars from the Schilling Motor Show Arena outside throughout the weekend. Indoors, specially trained bikers will attempt the "Ball of Death" stunt as well.
