Kia GT-4 Stinger
Hearkening back to the glory days of purebred, affordable sports cars, Kia's GT-4 Stinger is a 2+2 sports car powered by a 315 turbocharged horsepower and six-speed manual transmission.  Beneath the low wedge of the GT4 Stinger's hood resides a tuned version of Kia's proven 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injected (T-GDI) four-cylinder engine putting out an impressive 315 horsepower. 

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept
The Elmiraj Concept is a modern two-door grand coupe with a combination of streamlined design and engaging rear-wheel drive performance.  At 205 inches in overall length, it is a four-seat coupe with presence and poise. Elmiraj is powered by a 4.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 delivering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 featured in the upcoming 420-hp 2014 CTS Vsport edition, and expands it to the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Nissan Sport Sedan Concept
The 4-door, five passenger Nissan Sport Sedan is a low, wide, and sleek concept vehicle that stands on custom 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels that are pushed out to the corners. Next-generation Nissan design cues like a "floating" roof, V-Motion front end, and rakish boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights give it an air of openness and motion rarely found in a sedan. The concept comes with a front-wheel-drive layout and is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 putting out in excess of 300 horsepower. 

Ford Edge Concept
The sleek Edge Concept combines a sleek exterior design that communicates confidence and capability with advanced technology that will define the next Edge production vehicle.  It is packed with advanced automated driving technologies including self-parking and obstacle avoidance systems as well as semi- and fully autonomous driving options. 

Toyota FT-1: First devised by Calty Design Research in the Sony PlayStation Gran Turismo game environment, the  FT-1 Concept has a perfectly balanced front-engine, rear wheel-drive  layout that is powered by a high-technology, high performance internal combustion engine. It has design elements that help create the classic sports car proportions including the cockpits  wraparound windshield and side glass openings that give it a distinct nod to the design of the legendary Toyota 2000GT.
