Rarely is a luxury concept car such a show stealer, but this Audi reminds me of the 1930s Auto Union racing cars, it is quite a surprising display from the typically uniform brand!

Fisker is putting people to work with their latest luxury hybrid cars, the Fisker Karma and ‘Project Nina’, a more affordable 2nd Fisker hybrid car.

The small size of a laser eliminates the need for bulky head and rear lamps, because a laser headlight can shine through the cross sections of a grille, effectively hidden when not in use.
