Gallery: the Frankfurt cars you may have missed

Exactly a week ago today, the world's motoring media filed into 11 gargantuan, rather sweaty and overly bright convention halls to get a peep at the latest and greatest cars at the Frankfurt motor show.

You know the headliners by now, if you don't, check out our 21-and-a-bit-minute walkaround of Frankfurt’s show stars in this one-take video. 

But there were a lot more cars than we could feature in that video. Like the Borgward Isabella above, a four-door coupe with sliding doors and a name harking back to the past before the brand was born again with the help of the Chinese. 

So, click through the gallery and catch up on all the cars from the show.

Ferrari’s new Portofino is happy to see you. The 590bhp, twin-turbo drop-top transforms the California into a 'proper' Ferrari through a better, more Italian name, sharper design and proper drive-y bits. Click here for more info. 

Meet the most extreme Leon yet, as well as Seat’s most powerful car ever – the Cupra R. A matte grey, carbon and copper hot hatch that’s out for the likes of the VW Golf R and Audi S3.

But where they’re both four-wheel drive, the Leon uses its front wheels to put power to the ground from the 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 306bhp. Click here for more info.

Minus a bit of carbonfibre here and a two-tone interior there, this is the new BMW Z4. It was first revealed at the world’s poshest garden party – the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach – but made its way back to home soil so we could all have a good sniff around it.

Co-developed with the 2018 Toyota Supra, this concept leaves precious little to the imagination about what the production version will look like when it lands in 2018. Click here for more info. 

This is the Smart Vision EQ Fortwo, and it is the first car in Daimler’s mighty empire to completely do without a steering wheel or any pedals. Welcome to a rather scary, wipe-clean future. Click here for more info. 

Yes. Owl. That is its name. A name applied to – potentially – the world’s fastest accelerating EV supercar ever. Aspark confidently predicts its carbonfibre two-seater will be able to deliver a haymaker to the world’s very fastest cars by accelerating from 0-62mph in just two seconds. TWO. Click here for more info. 

The Suzuki Swift Sport has always been a bit of a Top Gear hero. Naturally aspirated, light, a joy to manhandle and styled presumably to resemble a baby sports shoe. It is - it was - really good. 

This is the new one. And immediately you will notice that it no longer resembles a baby sports shoe. The fact it’s yellow probably doesn’t help. It’s recognisably a Swift Sport… just a little different. We’ll leave you to decipher whether it’s a good change or a bad change. Click here for more info.

It feels like we've only just got the new Ford Mustang, but now we've got a newer Mustang. For 2018 us Brits get more power, much suspension tuning and a new look. Click here for more info. 

The Audi RS4 is a legend in the world of unfeasibly fast dog-friendly vehicles. This new version appears to only bolster that reputation.

Despite dropping a couple of cylinders, its 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 gains power and torque (444bhp and 443lb ft) to dispatch 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 176mph with the optional RS Dynamic package fitted. Click here for more info. 

The mk3 Cayenne Turbo has slightly alarming performance. You want numbers? It’ll hit a 177mph top speed via a 3.9sec 0-62mph sprint. Yikes. But there’s also much technology to ensure it’s not just a V8-propelled paperweight. To help it handle like an oversized hot hatch, essentially.

Technology such as an active roof spoiler (something Porsche debuted on the Panamera Sport Turismo), three-chamber air suspension, different sized tyres front and rear (new to this generation of Cayenne) and bigger brakes than before. Click here for more info. 

Hate traffic? Love drones? Then E-volo – a German aviation startup – is who you need to get in contact with. It's produced this, the Volocopter, an electrically powered ‘multicopter’ called VC200 that's basically an 18-rotor drone helicopter hybrid thing that has a range of 17 miles, when flying at 43mph. 

Say hello to the left-field alternative for people (mainly agriculturalists) who see the likes of the Ford Focus, VW Golf and Vauxhall Astra as a bit too high street. Ladies and gents, this is the new Subaru Impreza. Click here for more info. 

Frankfurt was the perfect time for Merc to facelift some of the older cars. Specifically, the S63 and it's bigger, brawnier brother, the S65.

But for the S63 Coupe and Cabrio (cab pictured above), Merc’s in-house go-faster arm thought it was time to downsize the 63 from the 5.5-litre twin-turbo engine to the 4.0-litre twin-turbo engine (with fuel-sipping cylinder deactivation tech) that you can get in pretty much everything else it makes now. Click here for more info. 

As night follows day, so Roadster follows Coupe. This is the upgraded Lamborghini Aventador Roadster – the Aventador ‘S’ Roadster. First up, as with the Lamborghini Aventador S Coupe, power from the 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 is up to 730bhp (or 740PS). Think optimised valve timing.

It’s matched to a seven-speed ‘ISR’ gearbox and four-wheel drive to record a 0-62mph sprint time of 3.0secs – a tenth slower than the Coupe S. Mark that down to the additional 50kg of weight. Click here for more info. 

Usually, Mini waits right until the end of its hatchback’s life before it unleashes a GP version. More power, no back seats, not cheap. However, Mini has been unable to contain itself this time, so it’s turned the current Mini into a John Cooper Works GP concept. And it looks utterly barmy.

Gape at the GP concept’s flying buttresses and louvred wheelarches. Then marvel at the loop-the-loop rear wing, and the racecar-spec diffuser. All of the bodywork mods are carbonfibre too, so it conforms to the commandment that a Mini GP ought to weigh less than its own key fob. Click here for more info. 

People of the Internet, feast your eyes on Volkswagen’s newest SUV. It’s called the T-Roc – ‘T’ because all VW SUVs (in Europe, anyway) start with T, and ‘Roc’ because this is a crossover that “combines the dominance of an SUV with the agility of a compact hatchback model and the dynamism of the compact class.” And therefore “really rocks the segment”. VW’s words. Honest. Click here for more info. 

Nope, it is not April 1st. Jaguar’s big announcement at the Frankfurt motor show is that it’s made its own race series. And it’s not, we’re afraid, a grid full of howling F-Type SVRs. Meet the I-Pace eTrophy, the star of a 20-car one-make series that will act as a support race to Formula E from 2018. Click here for more info.

In 2015 we had the Novo and the Sportspace, then the Stinger, and now this: the Kia Proceed Concept, a sleek shooting brake. Yep, Kia’s new-found penchant for producing striking concept cars continues at pace. Looks good, doesn't it? Click here for more info. 

To most, this is just a decapitated, repainted version of the obscene Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 shown at Pebble Beach last year. But somehow it’s so much more than that. It really does look like a Riva speedboat that’s sprouted a set of wheels. Or a very expensive pen. But surely Mercedes’ greatest achievement here is to make a car that’s 5.7m long and 2.1m wide and only find space for two seats. If that’s not excess, we don’t know what is.

Like its Coupe sister car, said wheels are centre-locking 24-inch dustbin lids, while 740bhp from four electric motors fed by an underfloor battery pack mean four-wheel drive and 0-62mph in sub-four seconds, with an NEDC range of over 310 miles. Click here for more info. 

Ever wonder what would happen if you super-sized a VW California? Well, wonder no more. This is the rather fittingly named California XXL, a well-fed and taller VW California.

At over six-metres long and close to three metres tall, there's plenty of space to accommodate amenities like a retractable wet room-style shower, chemical toilet, full kitchen with hob, sink and fridges, plus a living and dining area. This is the new King of the Campsite, right? Click here for more info.

The race to become the leader in autonomous car tech is well and truly on, and Audi just made it quite clear it plans to be the boss. This is the Aicon concept: a four-door, 2+2, A8-sized, level 5 autonomous concept car that showcases all its ideas for the day when steering wheels become relics.

Audi hasn’t put a firm date on when an the Aicon will be on your company car list, but reading between the lines, it’ll be a decade at least. Still close enough to keep giving chauffeurs sleepless nights, though. Click here for more info. 

It’s finally here. After an almighty amount of teasing, Renault has at last shown us its latest Megane hot hatch. The new RenaultSport Megane launches with a number of headlines.

The biggie? It has four-wheel steering as standard. No other hot hatch currently offers that, and it comes – whether you want it or not – with both of the Megane’s chassis options.

As always with fast Renaults, you’ve a choice of Sport (softer) or Cup (harder) suspension setups, the latter getting a proper differential on the front axle. That’s the one you want. Click here for more info. 

Feast your eyes on Bee-Em's super-luxury super-coupe that previews the full 2018 BMW 8-Series production car. Isn't it gorgeous? No pop-up headlights this time around, though... Click here for more info. 

Question: how far do you have to look into a crystal ball until driverless race cars are a reality? Answer: you don’t have to look into a crystal ball at all. You just need to look at the picture on this very screen, as that ladies and gents, is the autonomous driverless race car of the future.

And it’s here. Right now. And very much a thing. It’s called the Robocar. The world’s first driverless racecar set to compete against a grid of other identical Robocars in an all-electric racing series set to support next year’s Formula E championship. Click here for more info. 

We’ve been praying for this one for years. Finally, someone has listened. Audi has announced a new variant of the R8 at the Frankfurt motor show called the RWS (Rear Wheel Series) and if you’re into skids (and let’s face it, who isn’t), it’s a doozy. Yep, you guessed it, it ditches four-wheel drive for rear-drive only and sheds some kilos in the process. Click here for more info. 

Lighter, faster, with more tech and ten (yes, ten) square feet of wood veneer in each one. Start licking your lips, Cheshire. This is the new Conti GT. Click here for more info. 

A house is a machine for living in. Renault’s latest concept, the Symbioz, takes the idea and runs with it into a fully electric, autonomous, and seamlessly connected shiny super-future. This isn’t just a concept car: this is also a concept house. Click here for more info. 

If you own a new Discovery, lack of off-road ability probably isn’t top of your list of complaints, but JLR’s special ops department (SVO) doesn’t care – it’s built the ultimate off-road Disco anyway.

Officially still a concept, although you’ll be able to buy one in 2018, it’s the first model to wear the SVX badge – denoting its superior bog-wading capabilities. That makes it SVO’s third sub-brand following silly-fast SVRs, and ultra-luxe SVAutobiographies. Click here for more info. 

Stop the internet, because there’s a new Dacia Duster. Yes, one of the most likeable cars on sale (seriously) has been given some new, fancier styling. Click here for more info. 

Isn’t it the cutest? It’s Honda’s electric car concept, and a production version will be with us in 2019. While other carmakers go for a cloyingly futuristic look for their EVs, Honda has gone unexpectedly retro. With great effect. Click here for more info.

It's all very well having a Ferrari, McLaren or Lambo. But they're still earthbound and therefore inferior. That's why you need an AeroMobil in your garage. Click here for when we met the people behind it. 

Time to get friendly with your local tyre-fitter: it’s a new BMW M5. But such a clichéd intro line might not be relevant here, because BMW has succumbed and made the most famous sports saloon of them all four-wheel drive. And gifted it 600bhp. Click here for more info. 

Meet the Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package. Or the GT3 Touring, for the sake of simplicity. “What’s the big deal,” you may ponder, “it looks like any other 911 from the outside...”

Well, that’s rather the point. It has all of the 911 GT3’s goodness – 493bhp 4.0-litre naturally aspirated engine that spins to 9,000rpm, four-wheel steering, wider body and lower chassis – but ditches the rear wing and makes it look like a normal 911. Click here for more info. 

I'm not sure if we need to introduce this one, do we? But if you've been living in a nuclear bunker for the last week (which is possible, nowadays), please click these words.
