Tesla Motors will make its first appearance at this year’s First Hawaiian International Auto Show.

Tesla has impressed since the 2008 debut of its all-electric, 288-horsepower Roadster, its lower-priced and very popular Model S, and recently, its 691-horsepower P85D, which goes from zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 155 miles per hour. Its range of 253 miles is slightly less than the 265-mile range of the 85 kilowatt-hour Model S.

The auto show will be held Friday through Sunday at the Hawai’i Convention Center. Returning will be Buick/GMC after a few years’ absence.

The no-pressure, nonsales environment will feature manufacturers’ 2015 and some 2016 models, demonstrations of advanced technological features of the various vehicles, and more.

Exhibits include a preview of the Toyota Mirai — the first consumer-market hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to be displayed at the auto show.

Gear-heads also may enjoy a classic car display that will include a 1931 Packard 840 D/C Phaeton, a chrome-covered car often referred to as "The Monopoly Car."

As is auto show tradition, the multimillion dollar exotic vehicle display will provide showgoers with automotive eye candy, including the nearly $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador and other high-end selections from Ferrari, Bentley and Maserati.

In addition to the new, classic and exotic vehicles on display, the auto show provides local car clubs the opportunity for members to put their best rides forward.

Some dealers will offer test-drives of new vehicles during daylight hours, and the first 500 people to participate will receive vouchers for free Papa John’s pizza.

The show is presented by the Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association and is produced by Motor Trend Auto Shows.
