Event details : At the finishing line of the Essen Motor Show: In total, 361,200 horse power fans showed their enthusiasm for the range on offer at the global fair for automobiles, tuning, motor sport and classic cars. Although, as expected, the Essen Motor Show was not able to compensate for the visitor shortfall of approx. 40,000 guests at the start of the event due to the snow chaos, Messe Essen rates the result as a good success: In spite of the exceptional weather circumstances, the Essen Motor Show achieved a top-level result and emphasised its position as the most significant annual German automobile fair.
