Shanghai Car Show - Top 10 Concept Car

10. Audi Cross Coupe Quattro

Under that hood is a common-rail 2.0-liter four-cylinder TDI engine mated to a dual-clutch gearbox and delivering 204 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with a diesel particulate filter and Bluetec aftertreatment technology, Audi says the engine, which also appeared last fall in Volkswagen's Tiguan concept, returns 40 miles per gallon.








9. Buick Riviera
General Motors will unveil a pair of concepts, including this ambitious Buick Riviera gullwing, which we hope to get up close and personal with, to pass along the details to you, dear reader. Designed at GM’s Pan Asia Tech Center, the concept should eventually make it back to the U.S. for a domestic debut, most likely in Los Angeles.












8. Renault Fluence
Fluence, Renault's latest concept car, is an upmarket, four-seater sports coupé. It was presented at the Louis Vuitton Classic concours d'élégance held for the first time at Waddesdon Manor near Aylesbury instead of its traditional home of the Hurlingham Club in London.










7. Mazda Nagare
Nagare (pronounced: na-ga-reh), which means "flow" in Japanese. Described as a "Concept of a Concept", it is the North American Design Studios answer to a challenge posed by Laurens van der Acker, Mazdas new chief of design. The goal of this internal challenge is to see the different ways that motion can be registered on a vehicle, regardless if it is static or moving. To make matters more challenging, the car must also showcase the future styling direction of the brand. In the case of the Nagare, its the year 2020.











6. Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 is a concept car revealed by Volvo at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. According to Wheels24, the Premier Automotive Group had planned to reveal the compact crossover SUV to the public in late 2006. It is scheduled to go on sale for the 2009 model year. The Volvo would assemble the XC60 with already proven gasoline- and diesel-burning engines. Further, the XC60 would share technology with the next-generation Land Rover Freelander, using a modified version of the Ford C1 platform.















5. Ford iosis X

Inspired by a helicopter cockpit, the Iosis X interior has a raised centre console and futuristic controls. It’s an extreme look, yet a number of its elements will be carried over to the final model.

Engine: 2.0-litre 4cyl turbodiesel
Power: 138bhp
0-60mph: 10.7 seconds (est)
Top speed: 110mph (est)












4. BMW CS Concept
The CS is envisioned as a range-topping four-door with coupe styling, sharing underpinnings with the next-generation 7 Series. The exterior dimensions are impressive—and large. The low-slung body stretches 200.8 inches long and a huge 78 inches wide, but is a scant 53.5 inches high. For comparison, the current 7 Series is smaller than this beast: 198.4 inches long, 58.7 inches high and 74.9 inches wide.











3. Chevrolet Volt
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid concept car created by General Motors. However, the company has avoided the use of the term "hybrid," preferring to call it an electric vehicle with a "range extender" due to its design. The vehicle is designed to run purely on electricity from on-board batteries for short trips up to 40 miles (64 km) in the city—a large enough distance to cover the daily commutes of most Americans. With use of a small internal combustion engine hooked to a generator to resupply the batteries, the vehicle's range is potentially increased to 640 miles (1030 km) on the highway.












2. Nissan Bevel
The Bevel, Nissan says, will be a dynamic, multi-purpose vehicle with a small size, big utility and fresh thinking - including a function-inspired design, a 'command central' cockpit and high-utility interior."










1. Lexus LF-A
The Lexus LF-A concept was first introduced at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show, but as you can see from our exclusive spy video, Toyota is already hard at work track testing production prototypes. Seen here making the rounds at Germany's Nurburgring test track, this early prototype wears much of the same sheet metal as the show car.
V10 engine, a spec that puts the LF-A in the same league as other notable exotics like the Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche Carrera GT. Unlike Toyota's Formula One powerplant, however, the LF-A's V10 is expected to displace roughly 5 liters and generate around 500 horsepower. Toyota officials also boasted that a top speed of 200 mph was well within the LF-A's reach.
