Fab 5 Concept Cars @ Detroit Auto Show 2015

Today, we’re talking Concept Cars, starting with Ford. If you’ve been waiting for this supercar sequel, 2016 is your year. The Ford GT transcends its retro styling roots to present a fully-modern design that is inspired by the company’s racing heritage. It’s equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 that’s good for more than 600 horsepower, and it also offers a significant amount of carbon fiber in its structure, along with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Look out Ferrari and Lambo!
The 2015 Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept previews a production model that will feature a Tesla-esque all-electric driving range of more than 200 miles along with Nissan LEAF-like MSRP and plenty of space for the family. It boasts an advanced multi-mode drive system and what Chevy calls “park-and-retrieval” technology, which – get this – enables owners to have the car drop them off and park itself, then un-park and return to pick them up.
Having replaced the G37 sedan with the technological tour de force that is the Q50, Infiniti’s next move is to inject style into its midsize luxury offerings. The two-door Q60 Concept is designed to give Infiniti passionate styling language to boot. Check out the flowing lines and shapely surface. The interior is stunning too.
The Buick Avenir wowed crowds the night before the Detroit show even opened, at a dramatic off-site unveiling that proved Buick is shaking things up at GM when it comes to sales and prestige. The Avenir is beautiful. We’re told it’s powered by a direct-injected V-6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission. While we’re not confident about its production, Buick says Avenir design cues will find their way to the next-gen LaCrosse.
Running solely on hydrogen and emitting only water vapor, the 2015 Honda FCV Concept sets the stage for a new production model that boasts the brand’s latest efficiency strategy. It also showcases ultra-aerodynamic and futuristic design cues. It boasts a driving range of 300 miles, and a re-fueling time of about three minutes. The number of hydrogen refueling stations are expected to increase in the key California market. Look for the FCV next year.
