The 26 Best Auto Show Concept Cars Of The 21st Century
But as art, concept cars serve a purpose as examples of what an automakers design department can do when given a huge budget, few parameters, and no practicality or production concerns.
We can hope automobile manufacturers will be able to keep a few secrets in the lead up to January 2015s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. Maybe there will be something special, not just production versions of upcoming luxury crossovers and flashier potential versions of existing cars, but truly special design.
Interesting surfaces. Inventive detailing. New ideas.

Ferrari 458 Italia video show
Ferrari 458 Italia very fantastic car in speed and strong,For all those Ferrari devotees that immediately closed their eyes and began making revving engine and shifting gear sounds after drooling on the keyboards in their cubicles over the new Ferrari 458 Italia earlier this morning, we have good news. While not exactly a new series of photos, the crew from Maranello has let loose two new videos of its mid-engined hypercar. The first vid gives us an early glimpse of the suitably high-tech view from the drivers seat, but both new clips may offer something even better: the glorious sound of Ferraris latest mid-mounted 4.5-liter V8 engine running up and down the ratios of its seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, watch this video

2013 Ford Fusion Has Been Revealed At The Detroit Motor Show
The new Ford Fusion for 2013 has been revealed at the Detroit Motor Show, Ford Motor Company launched its new, completely redesigned version and looks like a tweaked Mondeo 2012 with Aston Martins Grill on the front. The line-up will include a plug-in hybrid sedan Ford, not that it is a bad thing. Fusion 2013 in the U.S. also will be a 2013 Ford Mondeo for Europe.
The Fusion Energy will go on sale in Europe next year as the Ford Mondeo. Up to now, the Fusion and Mondeo have been entirely different, albeit similarly sized, cars. But Ford has been working to have fewer different models around the world. To that end, the next-generation Ford Escape will be the same as the Ford Kuga SUV sold in Europe while the Focus and Fiesta small cars are also be the same cars in the U.S. as elsewhere.
Finally, after what has seemed like a decade’s worth of groaning by enthusiasts and pundits alike, Ford is bringing the Mondeo stateside by way of its global platform. That means, we get all of the important underpinnings that matter shrouded in an sexy, yeah we said sexy, new sheetmetal and interior. Just look at that grille. For giddy-up, Ford is offering, in a decidedly European manner, to give users the choice of a variety of powertrain options. How many? Whatever five different engines, two transmissions, and a front-wheel or all-wheel drive option add up to be. You can do the math. Engines will range from a four-cylinder 170 horsepower (170 lb-ft torque) to an EcoBoost 237 horsepower (250 lb-ft torque) mill, or two hybrid engines. One, which gets roughly the same gas mileage as a Prius, and the other, a plug-in hybrid called the Ford Fusion Energi, that’s miserly enough to sip fuel at an effective 100 miles per gallon. If you happen to have a financially allergic reaction to gas stations, this is the equivalent of vehicular Allegra.
With the 2013 Ford Fusion, there’s no shortage of choice, and there’s certainly no shortage in the looks, technology, or safety department either. You can expect to see lane guidance, blind-spot detection, active park assist, MyFord Touch, Microsoft SYNC, even Apps all packed into the Fusion along with airbags in every direction. In combination, Ford may just have created what amounts to be the best looking American made sedan we’ve seen since, well, the Taurus SHO. Even more exciting? This time, Americans get the Fusion first.Ford Fusion Safety Features
The Ford Fusion has many safety features that are great ways to get a lower premium on your insurance. The 2013 Ford Fusion is equipped with the following safety features:
- Anti-lock brakes
- Stability control
- Front-impact airbags
- Side-impact airbags
- Overhead airbags
- Pretensioners
- Security System

Lamborighini Ankonian Concept Car Show
The Lamborghini Ankonian concept, According to the designer, the Ankonian takes the design of the Reventon to the next level, even though the concept itself manages a unique expression. The supercar concept has a more aggressive design, and is downsized to account for a more environment-friendly status, though it does not include any hybrid or similar technologies.
As the design process he brought back the tradition (we do it old school), instead of clay modeling CAD modeling. It takes approx. 6 months to really build the model and it is a great opportunity to try different possibilities on the surface and the proportion of management. How does this design does not look ‘artificial’, but mature, and because of the fact that he has a constant support by the Lamborghini and Audi Advanced designers, final design has a professional touch.
Even though very crazy and on first glance complicated, all Ankonian lines and intersections work together. Due to the tension in the lines and the concave and convex surfaces there is an impression of a strong and dynamic body. The big canyons and the fact that the tail was put on a diet give it a very light appearance. In addition, the hot-rod stance gives it a push forward, and the symbolic presence of wings and the arrow-like door graphic make the car very dynamical, even when it is in standing position.
By leaving the usual headlight graphics, and having very thin OLEDs embedded between the surfaces, an eccentric and mysterious feeling is achieved. The same principle was applied at the back too, by doing an alien-like face with two big exhausts as eyes, and diffuser as mouth. Again, the lights are put on a position man would not expect (read: shock value).
