Sesto Elemento looks killer as usual. What was that Audi in the beginning? That looked HOT!

@ Queen, I'm guessing you're looking at the Audi at 1:00. That's the E-tron Spyder Concept, one of Audi's attempts to make the hybrid an attractive option to non-hippy D bags. While I agree that it's flashy on the outside, the drive train leaves much to be desired (at least in hybrid mode). This slinky roadster drives its rear wheels with a mid-mounted, extra-powerful version of Audi’s 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6; output is 300 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque thanks to the addition of a second turbocharger. When you look at the hybrid side though, the e-tron Spyder can travel a whopping 31 miles in electric-only mode, with a maximum speed of a blistering 37 mph...

The Sesto also has carbon fiber WHEELS! That's a new one for sure!

Autoshows are like strip clubs. You get to look at all the beauty and spend some money, but you can never touch, and certainly can't take one home

I love going to the motorshows and seeing all the forthcoming new models. You have to take them with a grain of salt, though. As they go through the accounting departments, those big chrome wheels and funky aerodynamic body panels come off mighty quick.

Forget the Audi, can we all take a minute to admire the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento? With a carbon fiber body, it weighs only 999kg and has a startling power to weight ratio – with a 570bhp V10 engine, 0-62mph acceleration takes only 2.5 seconds. Now THAT is engineering done properly!

And its carbon fiber is made with a new method similar to forging. It's kind of like particle board, but with CF.
