News from Audi as a Q3 concept has appeared which suspiciously looks munch like the Vali Concept we saw earlier this year. At the very least, this new one is also red... If not even redder. So red in fact that Audi have called it the Red Track. It's a themed contribution to the Wörthersee Tour that starts in May 16th – a populiar Volkswagen and Audi show.
As we said, red, or Energy Red, is the predominant theme in this one. We suspect that Audi dipped the whole Q3 Red Track in pant since even

Project Visio.M Concept is an interesting project which will offer a solution for electric mass mobility in urban environments. The electric cars which are powered by electricity from renewable energy are one of the most attractive options for mobility in the future.
This not only concern long distance travel, but in fact the focus of this project is put mainly on mobility within the urban area.
In the history of the development of such tec

Honda showed up with two new concepts this year at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition – pointers to the eventual mass production models which Honda will add to the market next year. It's the Honda Concept C and Concept S. There are other specimens being showcased at the show as the Japanese automaker is launching a medium-sized campaign on the Chinese market
Concept C
Apparently C stands for several things - “Cool”, “Challenge” and “China”. That latter one makes sense as

Here's a break of the pattern – after the dragon encrusted Ferrari 458 and the “Dragon” Wrangler we finally arrive to a Chinese design concept that does not draw inspiration from the dragon breathing mythical creature. It's the Chrysler 300 Ruyi based on the standard 300C which is also there at the stand. There's even a Grand Voyager MPV present, all part of the festive return of the Chrysler company to the Chinese market.
Ruyi means “as one wishes” and is usually represented by an object akin to a scepter. It's

Mercedes has exhibited the new Viano Vision Diamond Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show.
The luxurious van comes with exterior enhancements as well as full interior rebuild.
The exterior boasts black radiator grille, chromed grille louvers, and two-tone exterior paint job. A fine, shimmering gold line painted by hand separates the two body colors of black and diamond white, and a painted diamond adorns the B-pillar. The two-tone effect is repeated in the rims of the 5-spoke wheels, and the brakes feature t

Ever considered what would come out from a relationship between a Peugeot 208 and a 3008? Neither have we. But at the moment, in Beijing something just like that is sharing the Peugeot stand . It's the Urban Crossover Concept – a vehicle that “mixes the elegance and refinement of a saloon, the cheekiness and the mischi

It would seem that Lamborghini won't be the only company at Beijing to showcase a 600 bhp monstrosity with high ground clearance. Meet London-base Eterniti Motors and their first car ever – The Artemis. They haven't bothered about fitting in so to speak as they have their own category for it – Super-SUV: “Higher levels of luxury, performance and exclusivity” targeted at wealthy car buyers. We respect honesty.
The Artemis prototype is still in its trial period but Eterniti speculate that it wo

What we see here, is evidence that the world has gone SUV-mad. Lamborghini have brought the heavy artillery to the 2012 Beijing Auto Show with the Urus SUV Concept. We say heavy, but actually, the company claims that the Urus will thrash the other fatties from the segment thanks to their ever-improving craftiness with carbon-fiber composites.
So what's at the core of this concept? Some might be surprised but this is not Lamborghini's first venture into the SUV world. It's their second. Back i

Since the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition is already in motion, we better start off with something symbolic. That's where the Jeep Wrangler “Dragon” design concept comes in. It's based on the standard, Chinese spec Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, finished in black and garnished with bronze/gold motives which are strongly associated with the Chinese dragon.
The gold/bronze details play a center role in the whole design thing (front grille slats, headlamp surrounds, the engine cover etc) but by k

It still is a concept, but production is foreseeable. It's the Seat Ibiza Cupra ready to please the way only a hothatch can. Powerful, nimble and clever, this little imp has all the right acronyms – TSI, DSG and now XDS – an electronic differential lock.
A 1.4 TSI super/turbocharged engine under the hood packs a punch of around 180 hp and 250 Nm. With a set of paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, one can make good use of that power which is delivered to the road by a seven-speed DSG tra

Much like Ferrari, this year Citroen are also marking their second decade of presence on the Chinese market. Seemingly, the best way to celebrate that fact is to strive for a terrific appearance at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. We are looking forward to seeing, among many, the restyled C-Quatre three-box, the C4 Aircross there. The people at China should be excited about the planned launch of the DS line at and pretty much everyone should be thrilled to see the Numero 9 concept car.
