About Automobile Barcelona

The Barcelona International Motor Show completed its 36th edition having revitalized the automotive market over 11 days. The new models presented by the 35 brands at the show attracted a big visitor turnout and proved to be a great incentive for buyers.

One of the big stars of the show was electric cars, which went down very well with visitors; in fact, the first units were sold at the show itself.
