The event will play host to new car unveilings from Mercedes, Toyota, Kia, and Chevrolet, among others.
The Detroit motor show, officially titled the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), is the first international show of 2017 and will play host to new car unveilings from a number of major manufacturers.
 
Here are all the cars and concepts expected to be showcased at the event.
 
Mercedes-Benz E-class Coupé
 
Expect the new Mercedes E-class Coupé to attract plenty of attention when the show gets under way. All up, the German carmaker plans to offer up to five E-class Coupé models internationally, with the choice of both four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. 
 
Kia GT
 
The bold new Kia GT is also widely rumoured to be bound for the show, following a recent teaser vehicle that showed the sports saloon topping 241kph at the Nürburgring.
 
New Toyota Camry
 
Toyota will take the wraps off a new US-market Camry. While Lexus has a press conference scheduled, it has so far been tight-lipped about what it might show. A third Toyota group conference will reveal news relevant to both brands. 
 
New Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
 
A new version of the track-focused Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is also set to be launched at the Detroit motor show. A rival to the Porsche 911 GT3, the ZR1’s supercharged 6.2-litre V8 is expected to be ramped up to produce over 710hp. The track-focused supercar will also have a massive, fixed rear wing and lightweight wheels.
