Head-Turning Concept Cars at the Paris Auto Show

 

Renault-DeZir

Concept cars are essential part of any Auto Show. They are a great way for both companies and designers to show what they could possibly do in the future.

Surely, one of the most hotly anticipated releases at the 2010 Paris Motor Show would be the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept. After all, no automaker has teased the masses these last few weeks more than Lamborghini, and perhaps no single vehicle manufacturer is as beloved by the teenage boys lurking inside each one of us.
