Simon Cowell's love of cars - especially fast cars is no secret. He has appeared on Top Gear twice. Simon has owned prestige cars like a Ferrari, Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin and his new Porsche, as well as several Rolls Royce and Bentleys.

A source told The Sun newspaper 'Simon has always been a huge car lover - and a car show is always something he has been interested in doing.

He loves talking cars and right now there feels like an especially large appetite. The idea of a new car show is really a no-brainer for him.'
