- Excitement builds over opening weekend, and continues with Super Tuesday -

The passion people have for cars, trucks and SUVs is evident, with excitement growing over the weekend at the 2024 Canadian International AutoShow.

The momentum will continue with Super Tuesday, a one-day-only deal that rolls back the price of an adult general admission ticket on Tuesday, February 20th to $15 — the first time in 25 years the general admission price of an adult ticket has been that low. The special Super Tuesday price is a 40 per cent discount to see the total automotive experience, and one of the world’s best automotive expos.

The Metro Toronto Convention Centre was abuzz throughout the holiday weekend with thousands of AutoShow guests travelling the 650,000 square feet of exhibit space, exploring new vehicles, classics, luxury and exotic cars from 44 automotive brands — including 31 vehicles that have debuted at the event — as well special features and attractions.

• Many of the world’s leading automotive brands are showcasing their latest models and the pre-production cars and concepts that will be popping up in the coming years. Check out the latest from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Hyundai, INFINITI, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Ram, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, VinFast, Volvo and Wagoneer, as well as special displays from BMW, Alfa Romeo, Lotus and Maserati.
• See brands new to Canada, and appearing at the AutoShow for the first time, such as United States-based EV manufacturers Rivian and Fisker and luxury vehicles from INEOS, Rimac, Himalaya and Zagato.
• Enjoy interactive attractions, like Canada’s largest indoor EV Test Track, outdoor EV test drives and Camp Jeep.
• Keep the family busy at the AutoShow. Participate in the building of a LEGO mural, and take memorable snaps with LEGO vehicles. Enjoy the Barbie car Corvette inspired by the car seen in the hit movie, have your picture taken in a life-sized Barbie Box and rekindle the automotive passion from days of yore with a collection of life-sized Hot Wheels cars. There is also a replica of the “Tumbler” Batmobile from The Dark Knight trilogy of movies.
Fans have also enjoyed one of the finest collections of exotic and luxury cars the show has ever assembled.

As one of Canada’s leading retailer of luxury vehicles, its display is centred on the Rimac Nevera, the world’s quickest car. Its collection also includes the all-electric Rollls-Royce Spectre and Pininfarina Battista, the hybrid Lamborghini Revuelto, cars from Bugatti, Aston Martin and Bentley and unique marques Himalaya, Zagato and The Little Car Company, which produces exquisite scaled versions of classic cars.
