One of the wow factors exhibited was the Toyota GR Supra GT4 (EVO-2) at the Ravenol stand in Hall 8. Toyota launched the GR Supra GT4 (EVO-2) for the 2025 season. The GT-4 is a race car that has earned more than 500 podium finishes and has become a class champion in several regions since its launch in 2020. It has a 2.9-liter in-line six-cylinder, single twin-scroll turbocharged engine. It comes with an Akrapovic racing exhaust system with a catalytic converter. Ravenol is the proud partner that supplies all the lubricants for this monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another wow factor for spectators was the several Quarter-Mile race cars at the expo. Drag racing is part of Motorsport and has been part of German history. Therefore, several drag race cars were part of the 2024 EMS exhibition. Gerd Haberman was among the quarter-mile racers and part of the Ravenol team in Hall 8. Not only was the dragster exhibited, but it was also part of his jet collection and, of course, this year’s trophies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarissa Czekalla was another racer spotted. Czekalla is one of the well-known names in the drag racing world, not only as a racer but also as a photographer. This year, Czekalla came in third in the DMV championship and ended up high in the standings of several other races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, EMS is tuning, and tuning is part of the Essen Motor Show (EMS). Hall 5 was all about tuned and styled cars. A couple of the eye-catchers were a 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTI with a fully shaved engine bay and swapped to an R32 VR-6 or a 1954 Chevrolet pickup 3100 with a 376 cubic inch “LS-3” crate engine. And Let’s not forget the 2015 Lamborghini Huracan with a Liberty Walk Silhouette GT body kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
