The Essen Motor show is pretty much the European Mecca when it comes to modified cars and world class tuners, plus all the shenanigans that come with this... let's call it alternative automotive lifestyle.
Some people call it a Euro-style SEMA Show, but we're pretty sure that the opposite description is adequate for the American tuning show as well.
In short and just like at SEMA, Essen Motor Show visitors can check out all the latest and most interesting tuning projects, but that doesn't mean that the show is all about those exclusively.
Since there is a close connection between motorsport and road cars, this year's edition of the aftermarket is also filled with cars from a number of racing categories.
A motley array of cars from DTM to WRC and from almost any other production-based motorsport series make out a rather large supply of eye candy for racing aficionados visiting Europe's largest tuning show. In case you're not in the position to see the event yourself we've put together a selection of the most cool-looking race cars we saw during the German tuning event.
