Toyota FT-1 Concept

The FT-1, set to debut at the North America International Auto Show, is not a "real car," but a "concept car" -- a three-dimensional frenzy of winks and side glances, sucking scoops, and brutal downforce-generators, all peeking at us from behind a curtain where the future is being created. It's the essence of a potent potential new sports car that's for now an instant of bodywork turbulence, shock-frozen in fiberglass. Unlike the Supra, the...

Officially, the SSC is a design exercise intended to demonstrate the next generation of Nissan design, but expect the new Maxima to be a toned-down version of this car.  A number of current Nissan styling cues can be seen in the SSC, but with futuristic twists. The boomerang headlights and taillights...

Audi Allroad Shooting Brake - Two-Door Crossover

The Audi Allroad Shooting Brake concept is a case where the name is funkier than the car itself. Here, Audi attempts to combines the distinctive and bulbous profile of a shooting brake with the pseudo-rugged looks typically associated with Allroad models. The plug-in hybrid concept, however, is essentially a two-door compact crossover, which isn't too much of a shocker considering Audi's plan to significantly expand its lineup of Q-badged crossovers. That...
