Having a gut time! Wunsch you were hier! Okay, our German is schrecklich, but because we speak your language, enjoy our rundown of every live reveal from Day One of the Frankfurt Motor Show after the jump.

Volkswagen E-Up Concept

What you may have missed: It's a fast-charging, if not hard-charging, 82-hp microvan with an 80-mile range.

Audi S5 Sportback

What you may have missed: It's a sporty 333-horsepower hatch we're not getting in the U.S., because we simply do not understand certain things.

BMW EfficientDynamics Concept

What you may have missed: The E. D. concept is powered by a three-cylinder diesel, but more importantly, it's apparently made of gentle rising curves and blue light.

Chrome Audi R8 5.2 FSI

What you may have missed: It's an Audi R8 5.2 FSI in chrome, and therefore an abomination.

2010 Mercedes SLS AMG

What you may have missed: The SLS finally completed its months-long strip tease, allowing us to see it in the metal without a few little bits of tape here and there.

Lamborghini Reventón Roadster

What you may have missed: It's angular, grey, capable of 205 mph, and this is exactly as much of it as you can afford.

Audi e-tron Concept

What you may have missed: An R8 body containing four supremely torquey engines and the hope, if not a promise, that electric cars can be absolutely astounding.

Ferrari 458 Italia

What you may have missed: The replacement for the F430 is either hot or a hot mess, but one way or another it's a new Ferrari with all that implies.

695 Tributo Ferrari

What you may have missed: Ferrari branding has gone so nutzoid that they've actually rebranded this poor Fiat 500. Sadly, that unfortunate mindset may overshadow the niftyness of this 180-horse hatch.

Audi R8 5.2 FSI Spyder

What you may have missed: An R8 without a top or those famous side panels actually looks pretty sleek. However, since it also gained over a quarter ton of weight, it really isn't. We're finding it hard to be too indignant.

Mini Coupé And Roadster Concepts

What you may have missed: Mini is refusing to be trapped by their own iconic shape and has turned out some surprisingly sleek cars here without deviating from their own design language.

BMW X1

What you may have missed: Err... not much? It's the production version of the littlest BMW soft-utility vehicle. What we wouldn't give for the return of the proper Statßion-Wagen.

Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible

What you may have missed: It's a 500-horsepower direct-injected Porsche with no roof! In theory, we love it. In practice...Do they make Just For Men gel in SPF-50?
