From Mercedes to Bentley: The show-stoppers of 2014

As Paris Fashion Week draws to a close, the beauties of the automotive world descend upon the boulevards of the French capitol for the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The auto show will run from October 2-19 at the Parc des Expositions de Versailles.

The biennial Paris Mondial de l'Automobile will showcase latest concepts and future production vehicles from the world’s leading automakers. Lamborghini is set to introduce a mysterious new four-passenger supercar, rumoured to be called the 'Asterion'.

The new Lambo is also said to feature a V10 hybrid powerplant. Although concept cars are traditionally the stars of the show, this year’s headliners are mostly hotly anticipated production models.

Here are a few you need to watch out for:

MX5 Miata


The doyenne of the modern roadster will be present in Paris. Mazda will give the world audience its first live view of the updated car.

Mercedes ​AMG GT



Mercedes will be out in full force with its new AMG GT.

Bentley Mulsanne Speed

Although it's not quite as stunning as a Ferrari, the Honda Civic Type R Concept is a videogame dream car come to life.
