Frankfurt motor show always produces the goods when it comes to big manufacturer releases. This year looks like no exception and we are in for a few surprises along the way. We’ve compiled a quick A-Z list of what’s coming from all the main marques. Hopefully they’ll also produce some awesome concepts to get the petrol (although now mostly hybrid) in our veins pumping.

Bentayga – Bentley’s first ever SUV.

I20 WRC car – Rally-spec car for the 2016 WRC season.
