They might go for the cars, but visitors to the Frankfurt Motor Show next month look set to be stunned by the stands! BMW has released this picture on its Facebook page of the shopping mall-sized trade booth where the firm will debut its electric i3 and i8 concepts.

The mammoth construction is arranged over two levels, with a track around the perimeter that suggests visitors will be offered passenger rides in the cars during the event.

Last month, Audi also revealed its plans for Frankfurt. The Volkswagen Group is forking out a mammoth £9 million on an arena to hold its premium brand’s show cars. The vast structure is said to be 12 metres high, 100 metres long and 70 metres wide and will includes a 400-metre track.

There are rumours that Mercedes is planning something spectacular too.
