Show has been dazzling people in the tri-state area for more
than 100 years with gleaming paint, elegant styling and the
promise of things to come. More than 1,000 vehicles from all
major manufacturers. Take a look, have a seat behind the wheel,
get under the hood. And, of course, don't forget the concept
cars--you'll see them, or something like them, in the
dealerships in a few years
Concept cars are are the
big draw for most of the motorheads who attend the show, but
it's even more exciting when one goes into production, no matter
how limited. This year Bugatti is going to produce somewhere
under 50 of its Veyron 16.4 Grand Sports. As even
non-enthusiasts such as us know, its specs are truly
mouthwatering: 8.0 liter, DOHC W-16, four turbochargers, 64
valves outputting 1001 horsepower resulting in a 2.6 second zero
to sixty and 253 mph top end. Whew! All that for only $1.9 mil
A bit more affordable is the
Lexus LFA, based on a 2005 concept. At only $375K, the 5.0
liter, 552 horsepower will do the zero to sixty under four
seconds. So, a second and a half difference equals about $1.5
mil difference in price between the two cars
Green is the true buzzword
this year, best epitomized by the Audi R4 and R8 e-Trons,
plug-in electrics with high-concept stylng and, erm,
high-performance power: the R4's 102 horsepower delivers a top
of 125 mph
