TORONTO, ON. — The theme for the 2025 Canadian International AutoShow is Total Immersion, and it certainly lives up to its name. Featuring 43 manufacturers, Canada’s largest consumer show is the best place to shop for your next vehicle, but there’s also plenty of classic, exotic and enthusiast vehicles to check out. Spanning both North and South Buildings of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, visitors can get up close to a selection of exciting racecars with impressive lineage throughout the show.
From Valérie Limoges’ Championship-winning Nissan Sentra Cup car, to the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona-Winning Corvette Z06 GT3.R, many of the racecars on display have a seriously impressive pedigree. The Oracle Red Bull Racing RB18 F1 racecar may be a replica, but it brings fans close to the action. Among the most famous liveries in history, one of the two Lotus Emira’s in the Gentry Lane exhibit wears the recognizable John Player’s Special F1 British Racing Green and gold as a nod to the brand’s storied history.
The Performance Pavillion is packed – featuring CSCS Time Attack cars, a selection of dragsters curated by The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame, including a tribute to the legendary John Force. In addition to the life-size McLaren P1, LEGO also has an impressive F1 collection on display. The Ford Mustang GTD isn’t technically a racecar, but it is a highly engineered out-of-the-box track day weapon.
