Wiesmann, the maker of retro-styled sports cars, roadsters and coupes , will be ending their production of the popular MF3 series that has lasted for 18 years.

Volvo is one of our most-loved manufacturers here at Car Throttle , and thus is comes as no surprise to us to find out that the Swedish marque is the fastest growing brand in the USA. Sales are up 21% in the first eight months of the year and Stefan Jacoby is extremely confident about where he sees Volvo heading.

As a car fanatic , it can be quite a challenge to find a car with all the right features. When you choose the car you want, there are many different premium options you should consider. If you are spending hours every day commuting to and from work, why not love the car you are driving?

You want exclusive ? Bugatti will give you exclusive. Not only have they repeatedly built the world's fastest car in the form of the Veyron 16.4 and then the Veyron Super Sport, but now the high flying brand have come out with the L'Or Blanc at Frankfurt, which is now the world's most exclusive car.

Over at the Ford stall , the Fiesta ST took centre stage as a hot hatch to watch out for when it hits the roads in the coming months.

Where to start with Mercedes-Benz at Frankfurt ? Not only did they have a monstrously sized 3 storey building parked in the centre of Frankfurt Exhibition Centre, but they showed the world's press every single one of their vehicles and concepts galore.

Whilst Porsche's seventh generation 911 Carrera was previewed last month , it finally made its worldwide debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show on Monday to a wash of the cream of the crop of the automotive journalist world.

I've always been somewhat of a Lamborghini fanboy . Maybe it harkens back to a time in my younger days when I would play with models of the then famous Diablo. Either way, I was excited as heck to witness a Lamborghini Press Launch for the first time ever, and the team from Sant'Agata did not disappoint.

Aston Martin highlights from their stand in Hall 5 included the worldwide debut of the Aston Martin Zagato and refreshes of current model lineups such as the Virage, V12 Vantage and DBS Carbon Edition Coupe which was seen in a shimmering orange paintjob.

Undoubtedly the image which made us long the most for Frankfurt , and which was probably viewed most on the world wide web, was that of the Ferrari 458 Spider. This is a vehicle which in coupe form has one multiple awards, and has in the space of a year, has become one of the most easily identifiable Ferraris to date.

Alfa Romeo showcased the beautiful 4C Concept car at this week's 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show . The silver fox has already made its rounds on the internet and gossip columns, but in the flesh, it couldn't have wowed more.

The brand new Mini Cooper Coupe certainly turned heads yesterday when it debuted at Frankfurt Motor Show 2011. An homage back to 1966's Mini Marcos coupe, this strictly two-seater model certainly has the flare and simplicity to welcome it into Mini's popular current range.

According to most , this was the most anticipated and important concept car launch at Frankfurt 2011 IAA. The Ford Evos Concept has been circulated around the globe numerous times thanks to its branching design principles that have the potential to catapult Ford into the next decade with severe force and popularity.

Keeping in line with the recently updated Bentley Continental GT coupe , the folks over in Crewe have decided to give the GTC a much needed refresh to make sure it doesn't remain outdated.

As well as demonstrating future direction with the i3 and i8 Concepts, BMW finally released the 2012 BMW M5 in all its glory. And they had the car zooming around on their purpose-built indoor track complete with live sounds of their powerplant.

Picture an indoor race-track built high up off the ground and running all the way around an exhibition hall, and you'll be on your way to envisaging the huge launch arena that BMW managed to build this week in Frankfurt.

Another stand that impressed me - so much I buzzed around it for a good half an hour after the official press conference - was Lotus .

At 1.45pm on an already tiring Frankfurt Motor Show day , I headed to the Kia booth and was pleasantly surprised to see the Kia GT concept and to hear that this has no longer become a concept but is planned to head to the production lines in South Korea in 2013.

One of the best launches at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in my humble opinion was the unveiling that Land Rover put on for the extremely large crowd of journalists yesterday in Hall 5.

Unveiled live at Frankfurt IAA 2011 was not only a host of concept vehicles but the sign of a new brand and partnership featuring two of Britain's finest: Jaguar and Landrover. Dubbed JLR (Jag/LandRover) this new media identity is set to become a powerhouse in terms of icon and vehicle reputation.

A quick history lesson for you : the term " shooting brake " has been in existence since the early 19th century to describe a car which features aspects of both a wagon and a coupe. More recently, the Ferrari FF (with its four seats and four wheel drive) came out to show us how they would build a brake.

On the back of displaying some quite energising future concepts , Audi also gave us a lesson in how they've become one of leading manufacturers this decade.

Audi demonstrated their push towards futuristic models today at their 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show booth . Both the A2 and Urban concepts had looked extremely promising on paper, where the whole automotive world had been closely following any developments.

If you'd have asked a car enthusiast ten years ago what a compact crossover was , they would have probably looked back at you with glazed over eyes, slightly confused.
