ORLANDO, Fla. – (October 22, 2009) Hundreds of new cars, trucks, sport/utility vehicles and crossovers will pack the Orange County Convention Center Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving Day) through Sunday, November 29, for the 2010-Model Central Florida International Auto Show. From the multi-million dollar collection of exotics to the latest alternative fuel vehicles, the Central Florida International Auto Show offers something for everyone!
Attendees are invited to check out all the latest vehicles in a non-selling environment, sit behind the wheels, inspect engines and learn about new fuel-saving automotive technologies. The Central Florida International Auto Show will give attendees an up-close look at exciting 2010-model vehicles including the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Taurus, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Lexus HS250h, Toyota Prius and more, as well as hot pre-production models not currently in dealerships including the 2011 Ford Super Duty, 2011 Hyundai Equus and the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray concept car!
Take the Green Trail at the Central Florida International Auto Show and learn about the latest trends in alternative fuel vehicles. Green directional arrows will help attendees find hybrid models on the show floor, as well as showcase new technology to help save money at the fuel pump and promote a cleaner environment. More than 20 alternative fuel vehicles will be featured along the Green Trail including models from Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Honda, Lexus, Mercury, Toyota and more.
Look into the future of automotive design and check out the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept, recently featured in the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Stingray takes the form of a sleek, visionary concept dreamed up by the Corvette designers at GM. The design is influenced by the original Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, but also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generations. It brings them together in a futuristic shape that appears to be equal parts racecar and space ship.
Additionally, a multi-million dollar collection of exotics will dazzle showgoers with several high-end models from Bentley, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce. This showcase will offer an up-close look at several rarely seen exotics, courtesy of Bentley Orlando, Lamborghini Orlando and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Orlando.
