2015 Philadelphia Auto Show

Published on February 5, 2015

The 2015 Philadelphia Auto Show kicked off with a media-only event on January 30th. This allowed members of the media early access with little to no crowds. I was in attendance to see what the show had to offer. The 2015 Philadelphia Auto Show is open to the public from January 31st through February 8th and is host to the newest creations from major automotive manufacturers.
There were plenty of new or redesigned models on hand from most of the major automotive manufacturers. Everything from fully electric vehicles to exotics were on display showing off their newest tech innovations. Whether you are trying to get more range out of your commute or a more exciting driving experience, it can be found at the 2015 Philadelphia Auto Show.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles had a nice line-up of their newest creations present at the show. In the Chrysler section, it’s hard to miss the outrageous Hellcat Challenger. With 707-horsepower and a nicely designed interior, the Hellcat is a stunning work of art that takes the performance to a new level in the line-up of modern American muscle cars.
