The Best of the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, honored by Autoweek’s Editors
On the September 24 issue of the Autoweek, it will announce its Editor’s Choice Award winners for the 2007 Frankfurt International Motor Show in its four categories: Best in Show, Best Concept, Most Significant and Most Fun.
The weekly automotive-enthusiast magazine have also covered other prestigious auto-shows in Detroit, Geneva, Paris, Frankfurt and Tokyo selecting winners for their four categories for over a decade now.
For the 2007 Frankfurt Autoshow winners are:
BEST IN SHOW: Lamborghini Reventon - “The sexy, brutal look of this ultra-sonic Lamborghini is something that will mesmerize car enthusiasts for generations,” said AutoWeek Editor and Associate Publisher Dutch Mandel.
“Our Best-in-Show award is bestowed on the car we all will remember years from now. That’s clearly the case with this near $1.4 million Lamborghini, all 20 of which are sold out.”
BEST CONCEPT: Mercedes-Benz F700 - “With so many slick-tech tricks in the F700, this was an easy choice as Best Concept.”
MOST SIGNIFICANT: Ford Verve Concept - “As the next generation Fiesta sub-compact hatchback, the slightly bigger and bulkier Verve allows space for higher hood and rooflines and raised seating. With concern that the small car will be too expensive to engineer in the United States and South America, how Ford resolves the dilemma is what makes an already significant car even more so.”
MOST FUN: BMW 1 Series Coupe - “We can’t wait to get behind the wheel of what will be, if the car holds true to its promise and its pedigree, one of the most fun products from BMW (makes BMW camshafts) since it recreated the Mini Copper. Only this time, the fun comes in rear-wheel drive,” said Mandel.
The 2007 Editor’s Choice Awards for the Tokyo Motor Show will be announced by the magazine next month. The magazine will continue its circulation until January and will select the best vehicles at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
