Hot Concept Cars

Bmw i3

Dubbed 'The Megacity Vehicle', the i3 is an electric-only machine with rear-opening rear doors and a small turning circle that will help it fit right in on the mean streets of future cities, whether mega or otherwise. Light weight is intended to help boost the total range.

 

 Audi Urban Concept

 The future of urban motoring? Probably not, because it rains in cities and the Urban Concept has no roof. But a roofless concept car goes down best judging by the number of them at Frankfurt, and the Urban Concept takes a stab at how personal, in-town mobility will develop in the future.

 

BMW i8

BMW haven't been the quickest out of the blocks with hybrid technology, but they're hoping to make up for it with their 'i' sub-brand. The i8 sports car can achieve about 94mpg, and sprint from 0-62mph in less than five seconds. But probably not at the same time.

 

Cadillac Ciel

It's been a while since Cadillac released any new design ideas that really translated what used to be so great about the brand into the new millennium, but the Ciel changes that. Low, long and effortlessly cool, the Ciel is a proper Caddy through and through.

 

Chevrolet Miray

Arguably one of the best looking cars at the whole show, the Miray is a roadster straight from a sci-fi film. The shallow windscreen leaves your head a bit open to passing insects, but it'd be a sacrifice worth making to park such a fabulous machine on your drive every day.

 

Citroen Tubik

Yes, it looks like an angry warthog from the front, but picture the Tubik as a fashionable activity van for the 21st century. Loads of space and in-car entertainment is great for, say, driving to Cornwall and having a beach party, if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Ford Evos

Sadly, we're not likely to see the day when gullwing-type doors become the standard for family cars, but the Evos looks great with them. Lovely proportions and a bold new grille would make the Evos, if it were directly turned into a new Mondeo, a sure-fire hit in the showrooms.

 

Mercedes A-Class concept

Marking a major departure from the rather bland mini-MPV dimensions of the current A-Class, the concept is nothing short of stunning from every angle. The nose, which is designed to invert the idea of a honeycomb grille, is a particular highlight, but it's beautiful from top to tail.

 

Renault Captur

This striking mix of wacky ideas and future Renault design cues combines seats made of rope and tyres that act to continue the design of the wheels themselves. There's also a central exhaust and mock diffuser, but the front grille design is actually not that far from production-bound styles.

 

Volkswagen Buggy Up!

Although there are no plans to build the Buggy Up! at all, it's actually a really smart design. It's a well proportioned and genuinely stylish update to Volkswagen's beach buggies of decades past. It's easy to imagine it rolling along the sea front anywhere in the world.
