2010 Essen Motor Show: gallery



The Essen Motor Show is apparently the world's largest tuning fair; like Europe's version of the SEMA show. Only with more German muscle and a fire-spitting motor theatre. Wonder where they got that idea from?
The Brabus-tuned SLS AMG is there, along with an ABT-tuned Audi A1 and a special edition Range Rooney.
You would think, then, that an event of such calibre would summon only the most distinguished characters. F1 driver Adrian Sutil popped by to say ‘Guten Tag', along with Top Gear's BFF Sabine Schmitz and ex Playboy model/racer Christina Surer.
And, erm, Brigitte Nielson in a strange pose in front of an old Merc. Go figure.

That's Christina Surer, dontcha' know, modelling the ABT-tuned Audi A1. She's raced in touring cars, the ‘Ring 24hrs and Alfa Romeo 147-Cup. Also seen in Playboy magazine. We are lightly aroused



The Brabus SLS AMG. Remember, it coulda' been much, much worse for Merc's top dog

Christina again, in some form of four-wheeled machine. Can't...concentrate

Some sideways action in a BMW 5-er



Top Gear's BFF Sabine Schmitz in a 911 GT3 RS. She'd have you, no doubt
