The Canadian International AutoShow will be open to the public on Feb. 14 and will showcase nearly 40 vehicles that will be displayed for the first time in Canada. This includes Bugatti’s one of a kind La Voiture Noire – the most expensive new vehicle of all time, which sold for $16.1 million. Other highlights at the exhibit include the unveiling of Genesis’s first SUV, the GV80, McLaren’s Senna Can-Am, a limited-edition car made for Canadian customers, and many more.

Additionally, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) will award their Canadian Car of the Year to one of three finalists: the Mazda3, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class or the Porsche 911 Carrera. The Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year Award will also be announced, which will be either the Jaguar I-Pace, the Kia Telluride or the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel.

During the show, some automakers will provide special incentives on top of their current offers. With breathtaking exhibits, special events and promotions, the Canadian International AutoShow is something worth checking out if you are in the market for a new vehicle or if you are just a car fan.
