**A Visit to the First Showing of Cars: The Movie**

Years ago, I had the opportunity to attend the very first showing of Pixar Studios' Cars movie. I was surprised to learn that it was not an old film, but rather one of their earliest releases. As we sat in the theater watching the movie, I couldn't help but notice the difference between the on-screen cars and those in the audience. The characters' eyes seemed out of place, with headlights instead of facial features. It was a bit jarring to see how far behind the times they were.

As I looked around the theater, I noticed that people were discussing the movie's production values. One person mentioned that they wanted one of the Rock Sacks from Ecto-1, while another joked about wanting to hit 88 mph on the perimeter of the highway, just like Lightning McQueen. It was clear that the movie had sparked a lot of enthusiasm among its audience.

The interior of the cars in Cars was a particular topic of interest. One person commented that some of the vehicles looked "beaten up," while another noted that the interior design was more futuristic than most cars on display. I couldn't help but think of the DeLorean from Back to the Future, which seemed eerily similar to some of the cars in Cars.

As we discussed the movie further, someone mentioned that it wasn't actually based on the first car to outrun a T-Rex. Instead, it was inspired by Dennis Hopper's character in the original Jurassic Park film. The person joked that they wished they could have driven the Jeep Wrangler from the movie, which seemed like an exciting prospect.

Next, we took a look at the BMW X2 concept car, which was showcased on the Citroën stand. While it didn't particularly excite me, I did appreciate the new design language that the car's kidney grille represented. Unfortunately, some people were not fans of the changes made to the traditional grille design.

The Paris Motor Show is an annual event that features a wide range of cars from various manufacturers. As we walked around the show floor, we came across several interesting vehicles. One of the most notable was the WRC car, which featured a unique arrow-shaped design element. We were also able to take a closer look at the Citroën C3 WRC concept car, which showed some promising design elements.

Just as we were finishing up our tour of the show floor, we spotted another WRC car that had been developed by Tommy McKinney and his team. The car featured an array of arrow-shaped design elements, including cutouts of arches and other decorative features. It was clear that this car was going to be a force to be reckoned with on the rally circuit.

Finally, as we left the Paris Motor Show, we took a look at some of the cars competing in the 2017 Carrera Cup. One particular model caught my eye - a sunshade masquerading as a rear wing. I couldn't help but express my disappointment at this design choice, and I wondered if others might share my opinion.

**The Paris Motor Show: A Wrap-Up**

As we left the show floor for good, I couldn't help but feel that the Paris Motor Show had provided an exciting glimpse into the world of racing and automotive design. From concept cars like the Citroën C3 WRC to production vehicles like the BMW X2, there was a wide range of interesting models on display.

As we looked around at the various cars on show, it was clear that the Paris Motor Show had once again delivered an exciting experience for its attendees. Whether you're a car enthusiast or just someone who appreciates good design, this event has something to offer everyone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to Evo's Roundup of the Paris M show 2016 now there have been a few manufacturers that aren't here B those not here for's not here I'm standing where there should be some sort of Lamborghini wild concept and Bentley should be just over there however there's still an awful lot of this show includes very cool film cars so stick around for those so we'll take you through all the other weird and wonderful and perhaps just slightly more mundane stuff that we haven't had time for in the other videos the big news on the Porsche stand is this it's the Panamera 4 e hybrid now some of the facts and figures for you so it's got 456 brake horsepower and it's got 516 for of torque it'll do 174 mph and not 62 mph in 4.6 seconds it also when you start it up completely electric nice and silent and it can run on that for up to 31 m and up to 87 mph which is pretty impressive the mpg figure for what it's worth on the combined system is 113 MPG which is yeah is very impressive however I think the important thing is that Porsche is actually saying this car well it's it's performance the hybrid should be performance enhancing yes it has the green credentials but they want it to be performance enhancing it's four-wheel drive unlike the previous one which was was rear wheel drive only and it now has pdk instead of Tiptronic so that's well yeah that is a good thing the other thing is well apparently there's actually going to be a a a more a more performance orientated hybrid version in the paname range we're only seeing this is the beginnings of the paname range and currently this is the cheapest paname you can buy which is is also quite intriguing so there we go the big white PanAm 4E hybrid the prize for the brightest car at the show goes to this scoda Kodiak complete with cat on the Bonnet it's like a Jaguar but but not it's a bit like Birch green actually if you know your Porsche colors there we go anyway this is the brand new land Discovery uh looks very much like the sort of a bigger brother of the discovery sport as you would expect uh still got that slightly it's got the the offset rear number plate like the old Discovery except this time it's not quite so obvious why um it's up to 480 kilos lighter presumably that will be the one with the ingenium engine in it it's obviously a lot of aluminum construction I'm sure it'll be very popular I they do all one thing to do is um you can now get what they call the activity key so that's a key it's like a wristband like one of these wristbands that you can wear you can lock the normal key say in there in the side of the car and then go off and do your Mansion biking or kaying or whatever it is and um yeah this activity key works like a normal key which is quite cool having said that i' I'd like to see us sort of as a hose down interior or something so you know it's it's a discovery I don't want it to be like a range I want it to be sort of all active and stuff I'm sure you can get there we obviously did a video on the AMG models yesterday and the reason the Roses has been kept away is to not take any of the shine away from this which was unveiled later and it's the generation EQ concept on the Mercedes stand so this foreshadows an EQ sub brand for Mercedes which will be their so I suppose well their electric generation it's their next whole new generation of cars for them uh this is 300 KW all wheeel Drive 516b fo of torque not to 62 mph in around about sort of 5 Seconds probably just under 5 seconds I think and that's clearly enough to sort of take on Tesla range is going to be 300 miles as well apparently it's all very sort of clean and Slick inside there's obviously elements of autonomous driving as well which we've seen on lots of cars at the show it's uh yeah I I like the design of it I love the the hidden sort of uh windscreen wipers and the hidden door handles and things like that so it really does look clean and sort of fresh despite being a familiar sort of shape I suppose and um yeah it'll be interesting this this really does feel like a proper it's not just a concept car I think we will see lots from Mercedes on this sort of platform different sorts of cars on on an electric platform over the next few years and of course don't forget to go and have a look at the other Mercedes film we did with the mayback and the AMG GT Roser as well very cool click on a link somewhere you know you'll find it this is vw's ID concept it's electric car and it's going to have a certain amount of autonomy about it to the extent that the steering wheel will actually retract into the dashboard and they've designed the interior open space interior around that very thing but it's a car that drives itself and the steering wheel disappears what are you going to say about steering it's just not Evo is it it's not Evo if you're going to do a tie up with somebody then um well there's nobody cooler than re really partly because it means you get to put one of their boats on your stand which is what fat has done this is the fat 500 chento Reaver which has got well mahogany and chrome and probably a poop deck somewhere I don't know I mean it's a 500 wouldn't it I mean what more do you want to say I'd like one of the boats though of course I just thought you know if you can't buy a 917 or Crow GT actually for that matter next best thing clearly wooden get up on the Nissan stand Well normally You' be looking at GTR but this is the new micro and I think it looks really very good I i' haven't seen a micro that looks this sort of almost edgy isn't it sort of it's yeah it's just a good looking thing you got lots of different colors here and I certainly imagine sort of a hot version of this might actually be really quite yeah quite appealing small perfectly formed not perfectly but you know it's well formed this is the Kia stand which I have to say is actually our cameraman Sam's favorite stand at the entire show and this is the car he's really excited about it's the Rio which well what's not to get excited about to be honest it's it's air Rio and um it's that's Rio that's where the Olympics were held earlier this year and it's it's really quite red hopefully there might be a GT version cuz we like the Kia seed GT so yes that's that's Sam's favorite stand at the Paris motor show this year so we'll move on over here right I thought this bike had fall on over but it's just so you can show sort of lean angle wow there's an ignis on the Suzuki stand as well I like the ignis um I don't really like this position not since Ruben Z was got a Spider-Man was on a bike someone so lanky tried to do this Jeepers obviously I Corner my bicycle like this as well um I mean if if Batman was really poor and couldn't afford black paint then I love it I mean I love that somebody's I I don't even know what I don't I don't even know what it is but fair play I mean it's it's like a a weird dream that's somehow come to life takes the biscuit okay I just you I wasn't going to say but the more I look at this the more this that looks like something off a chaperel appears to be a sun shade I I don't it does not 62 m hour in 10 seconds around is so this is not an aade I don't think it's it's a sun shade this stripy little number is the mini John Cooper Works Clubman all four all four apparently that's s like first time I tried this all four not all four and it's got 228 brake horsepower and I've I've seen quite a lot of clubm around actually so they're obviously very popular I actually drove the launch version the all four standard all four and it was surprisingly good fun actually I I hadn't expected to enjoy it and it nicely supported suspension so yeah I think this could be quite appealing I'm standing on a travelator at the Paris Mo show 2016 and therefore the urge to do some sort of gladiator tribute is strong however we're off to Hall 8 where hopefully we're going to find a whole load of film cars this is the um ason Martin DBS from Quantum Solace which I think I'm right in saying Mark Higgins was actually driving as they did that amazing opening scene sort of driving down the gravel road through the quari and stuff suitably beaten up well used polish out probably this is obviously the Aston Martin db10 from the latest Spectre film and um up here though it's a du from For Your Eyes Only or apparently in French and it's actually if you go back and have a look at this I love the car chase in this it's just it's brilliant it's Roger Moore and it's it's hilarious so yeah got have a look at that you've got to love sticker bullet holes I mean that's just Priceless as you can imagine there are quite a few Citron DSes in uh this including this one from 1964 many years ago I actually went to the very very first showing out of Pixar Studios of Cars the movie I always thought it was very old though they didn't use headlights his eyes they painted them on wind screen seemed odd it's Ecto one I mean quite seriously who are you going to call I actually want one of those Rock sacks I want one of the backpacks probably even more than this is that sacrilege no what do you say about this I mean the temptation to go and hit 88 mph on the peripher is strong I mean it's quite hard to see which is appropriate for kid but um the interior is just that's amazing some of these cars are quite sort of uh beaten up like the um DeLorean I suppose but the interior of that just looks fresh as Daisy it's better than half the cars in the sort of main hall looks more futuristic still so we think or rather Sam thinks that um this isn't actually the one that outran the T-Rex but it's rather one Dennis NRI was a larger gentleman who then had the little one looks like a dragon and got sort of well killed by that so we think that's this this Jeep Wranger is that one from Jurassic Park it's very cool they did actually they did actually outrun the T-Rex in it didn't they yeah course they did I'm seriously all that effort you just bolt on a GoPro behind me is the BMW X2 concept it's um it's based on the X1 platform and it shows some design language and there'll be something like it in 2018 apparently can't say I'm terribly excited all the grill though that um that free figures the new sort of look for the kidney Grill wider at the bottom narrower at the top I'm not entirely sure they should have messed with it so in the same way that the Germans tend to dominate The Frankfurt M show it's the French that dominate The Paris M show as you would expect and we're on the Citron stand which has to be probably the biggest of them all and they've launched the C3 which is quite a nice looking little thing with sort of elements of the cactus in there what we're interested in of course is the WRC version this is still a concept so I imagine sort of kind of although it's the overall shape and you can see there's there's much more arrow and the big box archers and stuff some of the detail stuff I imagine they're still keeping hidden because they don't want their Rivals coming and snooping over it before the season has even begun as you can see Chris Meek's name is on the side and hopefully he'll be adding to this wall of Champions that's up here on face bearing up on the um front page of leip or back page of leip in the not too distant future yeah it should be an exciting season and there is one more WRC car here as well so we're going to have a look at that now still very much in its camouflage delery is this the Hyundai offering for the 2017 w r c and as you can see the arrow isn't really it's not very sort of finalized it's just a sort of you know guess what with a wider archers and stuff like that and the interior doesn't exactly look terribly finished either we know they've got sordo and Hayden padon and potentially tiar nerville although where he's going is still slightly up in the air but yeah there is however one other WRC car here that has all its Arrow kind of in well slightly more ready State extraordinarily so so we're going to have a look at that it's the new Toyota Yus wlc which is been developed by Tommy mckinin and it looks well looks pretty wild I think you'll agree all the arrow on it is really visible on this car and the the cutouts of The Archers and stuff like that looks very cool we've got Yo hannahan and yanki uh will be no it's not yeki Lappy he's um running this car next year and it could be quite a force to be reckoned with I think it's going to be quite Twitchy with such a short wheelbase but yeah very very cool so that's the Paris Mo show done for another year or another two years is every other year isn't it thought we'd finish up next to the 2017 Carrera Cup car which is very nice remember to leave his comments in the boxes below and on Twitter and Facebook and all that sort of thing and let's us know if we missed something or check the other videos just in case we haven't we go give it I can't take something that's a sunshade masquerading as a rear wing I it's not getting a thumbs up I'm sorry no no weird as it is no nowelcome to Evo's Roundup of the Paris M show 2016 now there have been a few manufacturers that aren't here B those not here for's not here I'm standing where there should be some sort of Lamborghini wild concept and Bentley should be just over there however there's
