As well as the live show featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Tiff Needell there were static exhibits:

Saleen S7

I had not heard of this car before. It has 750BHP, 700lb ft torque and a top speed of ~250MPH due to its twin turbocharged 7 litre V8. It is the USA's only mid-engined supercar.
