9- Audi A3 Concept
Hit. It's an Audi, it could be no other way. With its mature A3-meets-TT RS-meets-A6 styling and 408-hp turbocharged 5-cylinder engine, the “RRSS3” will kill, should it ever be produced as is. This car is so wild and subtle at the same time that it looks like it'll lap the Ring faster than an R8 while its three other passengers sip on Earl Grey and spread Grey Poupon on their toasts. Weight savings, as well as German styling, are high on the maker’s list. The A3 is built on a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic frame and uses aluminum for many of its body panels. My only concern and request to Audi is that they do not discontinue the hatchback. If so, then this is a miss...
10- Magna Steyr Mila Concept
Hit. This Mila is the latest in a long line of concepts from Magna Steyr. This is by far the best of the lot. It's like a miniature angry bulldog that is very good for the environment. The Mila Aerolight lives up to its name. It is a super-light 700-kg compact 2-door A-segment car, capable of accommodating four passengers. Although the car seen on the show floor did not have a cabin per se, I can see how it would work. The car is powered by a natural gas-sipping engine which will emit only 55g/km of CO2 in the atmosphere. The 55-litre, high-pressure tank allows the Mila to travel up to 400 km between fill-ups. The car's styling is very unique and I can only imagine how impressive it would be to drive.
