【报道】带你逛逛北京车展

The 2014 Beijing International Automobile Exhibition is currently being held for the 13th year. The Exhibition this year is being held at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing.


The exhibition has out done itself in terms of size this year, covering 230 thousand square meters, which is the size of 30 football fields. The auto show has attracted a record 118 new models making their global debut this year.


I have just arrived outside the Auto Show. There are a lot of people walking towards the main door and the roads are jam packed. I am now going to walk inside and bask in the excitement.


I am now in the Mercedes section of the exhibition. If I remember correctly, this is one of the favorite cars of top gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson. I am now looking at the SL 350, which is a Master piece. The inside of the Car is intuitive, electronically advanced, posh and sleek. The boot extends out so you can fit a lot of stuff in there. Then there is the way it looks, the presentation, the aesthetic quality of the Car. The aesthetic qualities of this Machine are incredible. It is a sporty ostentatious device that just looks superb.


The Mercedes SL series have been manufactured since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight. The SL 350 was actually originally produced in 2012 but has since been refined. It weighs about 1,600+ KG and has over 300 horse power.


I have just arrived at Chevrolet's Exhibition. They are not only advertising their cars, but they are coupling this with an advertisement for their upcoming Transformers film. I am now looking at the Iconic Yellow Camero, which is of course bumble-bee in the Transformers movies. The new transformers film will be starring Mark Walberg and it has been also heavily advertised at the auto exhibition.


I am now looking at another section of the Beijing Auto Show. This is the drift section. There are two yellow Ford ST's drifting around each other. There are also other cars going up and down rollercoasters. There is more to the exhibition than just showing off pretty cars and girls dancing. They are really showing what these cars can do.


It is incredible watching these cars drift around each other and going up ramps. They are just normal cars as well; cars that I never imagined would be able to handle that kind of pressure.


I am now at the Fiat presentation and am going to listen in on speech being given by their professional spokesman.


"In Italy, we believe that a strong car design can lead to a better life. Fiat already has a history of more than 115 years. Our latest Fiat model is sure to bring you more pleasure than ever before. Italian Car designs are perfectionists strive to top their own standards. The new original design of the new Fiat SUV is very comfortable for the driver. It was designed with a passion. I honestly hope everyone here today enjoys looking at all the latest cars by Fiat".


Enjoying a posh car in Beijing is a pipe dream for many people. Not only were many of the cars at the auto exhibition ridiculously expensive but it is increasingly difficult to drive in Beijing due to congested roads and restrictions put on first time car buyers. It was nice to step in to the fantasy world at the Auto Exhibition and just admire all the beautiful vehicles that were displayed.


The event will be open from the 21-29 April 2014.
