Holden has revealed its latest concept car, the Time Attack Concept Racer, online. Damn, it looks good. We've been treated to many a show-stopping Holden concept over the years, although none quite like this. Looking at it, you could be forgiven for writing it off as a whimsical, unrealistic project crafted by a volume-selling brand's caged designers gone wild...
Peugeot has reached deep into its history to preview its future, showing off the all-electric E-Legend concept at this week's Paris motor show.
The self-driving Renault EZ-Ultimo concept has been revealed at the 2018 Paris motor show. Despite measuring 5.8 metres long and riding a 3.88m wheelbase, the concept only has seats for three people, with one armchair and one two-seater bench. The EZ-Ultimo stands just 1.38m tall, but is 2.2m wide, leading us to think it might struggle down some French streets...
The Skoda Vision RS concept has been unveiled at the 2018 Paris motor show this week, giving a glimpse at upcoming design elements for new RS performance models along with a next-generation compact hatchback.

Smart will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the 2018 Paris motor show with the drop-top ForEase concept. Following in the footsteps of the crossblade and forspeed, the concept aims to offer passengers a "liberated and pure driving experience" by turfing the roof.

Peugeot has revealed its e-Legend Concept, an all-electric two-door with looks inspired by the 504 coupe.

Nissan has revealed the Navara Dark Sky concept at the 2018 Hannover motor show, developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). The space-themed show car is basically a "mobile astronomy lab", featuring an observatory-class telescope mounted to a bespoke off-road trailer...
The Citroen C5 Aircross Plug-in Hybrid concept has been revealed ahead of its public debut at the Paris motor show next month.

We've already seen the outside – well, sort of...
The Volvo 360c concept, unveiled overnight, shows what the Swedish automaker thinks a future autonomous electric car might look like.

BMW has revealed the face of its upcoming iNext SUV concept, in a new teaser video promoting the all-electric crossover. It's certainly going to be distinctive, with a tall take on the new kidney grille dominating its bulbous nose, flanked by slimline laser headlights. The flanks are dominated by pumped-up wheel arches and a tall window line, while the concept appears to have a sloping coupe-style roofline...
