TROY, January 11, 2021 ~ The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) today announced it will not hold its 2021 auto show as planned. Instead, show officials revealed a “bridge to the future,\” with an auto-centric event called Motor Bella.
The new event will bring next-generation mobility and exciting vehicle debuts to media, show-goers, and the automotive enthusiasts’ world in a never-before-experienced way, while also addressing continued COVID-19 concerns about indoor events.
Motor Bella will be held September. 21 to 26, 2021, at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac. Centrally-located in the Metro Detroit area, M1 Concourse, often referred to as an “87-acre playground for auto enthusiasts,” enables exhibitors to showcase key vehicles and technologies in an outdoor setting.
