  • 06 February 2005:  Jeep’s Hurricane concept must be the most maneuverable and powerful 4x4 ever built. Equipped with two 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engines: one in the front and one in the back, there was a total of 670 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque available on demand. Two modes of automated four-wheel steering were used, first, the traditional with rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front. A second mode turned all four-wheels in the same direction for nimble crab-like steering. With 14.3 inches of ground clearance, and 37-inch tall tires, there wasn’t much that the Hurricane couldn’t climb. The black one-piece structural carbon fiber body also formed the chassis, plus suspension and power train were mounted directly to the body. Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System (MDS) enabled the Hurricane to alternate between 4-, 8-, 12- or 16-cylinders and clock 0-60 mph in less than five-seconds.<br />

  • 06 February 2005: The Shelby GR-1 concept establishes itself as one of the most contemporary and dramatic front-engine, two-seat, fastback supercars. This running prototype impresses with a 605-horsepower, 390-cubic-inch all-aluminum V-10 engine, a road-tested version of the Ford GT suspension and a stunning new polished-aluminum body.<br />
<br />
GR-1 combines modern sculptured surfaces and a muscular fastback design into a car that could succeed the Ford GT once its production cycle concludes. All of the sophisticated mechanicals of this extraordinary coupe are wrapped in a sleek, muscular aluminum skin left bare and polished bright. The result is a forward-looking supercar with attention-grabbing Ford presence and Carroll Shelby inspiration.<br />

Cargo room ranges from 16.0 cu. ft. with second and third row seats upright to 79.8 when seats are folded. An available Dual panorama moonroof creates an even more airy cabin environment. Enhancements to the ‘14 Pathfinder models include a new SL Tech Package, featuring Bose 13-speaker Premium Audio System, Nissan Navigation System, voice recognition, XM NavTraffic and NavWeather capability (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), Zagat Restaurant Survey, Bluetooth Streaming Audio and 8.0-inch color touchscreen monitor.

  • 12 February 2015: Displayed by female model - 2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06: Chevrolet’s 2015 Corvette Z06 enters supercar territory with race-proven design, advanced technologies and world-class performance. The Corvette Z06 is the most capable, world-class Corvette model, ever. It’s the first Z06 since 1963 offered in coupe and convertible models. This is the first Corvette Z06 to offer supercharged engine, and thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. The heart of the 2015 Corvette Z06 is the all-new LT4 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine, expected to deliver an estimated 625 horsepower and massive 635 lb-ft of torque to the rear-wheel drive. Standard seven-speed manual transmission includes the Active Rev Match feature, or there is an all-new eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission designed to enhance both performance and MPGs.  Strap-in tightly, as the Z06 blasts from 0-to-60 mph in 2.95 seconds with the eight-speed automatic and 3.2 secs. with the seven-speed shifter. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages the same trio of advanced technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray: Direct injection, Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, and continuously variable valve timing. These technologies – combined with the fuel-efficient multi-speed transmissions, aerodynamic design and lightweight construction – help make the new Z06 surprisingly fuel efficient. The 2015 Corvette Z06 with the available Z07 package adds larger winglets to the carbon front splitter, along with an adjustable, see-through center section on the rear spoiler for track use; with this package, the Corvette Z06 delivers the most amount of aerodynamic downforce of any production car that GM has tested.<br />

  • 08  February 2013: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY: Crowds will be swarming to the Chevrolet exhibit during the ten-day run of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show to be among the first to see the 2014 Corvette on display. Visually stunning, the '14 Corvette's sculptured, aerodynamic two-door hatchback exterior and track-capabilities is worthy of the iconic "Stingray" designation. This marks the seventh-generation of "America's Sport Car," and as the C7, goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering. Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with "Active Rev Match" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013.

On display at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, the Subaru BRZ Series.Blue combines STI functional aerodynamic body design, black-painted STI 17-inch wheels and unique interior trim for a striking look. Subaru will offer 500 of these special models painted WR Blue Pearl and 500 in Crystal White Pearl, all with the six-speed manual transmission and red-painted brake calipers.A redesigned remote transmitter for keyless start system on the BRZ Limited and the Aha Infotainment smartphone integration included with standard navigation system is new updates. Each BRZ wears a low-slung body that combines a swept-back roofline, bulging front fenders, short overhangs and pronounced rear haunches for a lean, athletic stance. The BRZ come stock with the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine that produces 200 horsepower. That engine is not shared with other Subaru models, and can be mated to a new six-speed manual gearbox or optional paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmission, sport-tuned suspension with front strut brace and Torsen limited-slip differential. The BRZ cabin is design for 2+2 seating, with bolstered front sport seats designed just for this car and rear seats that can accommodate front-facing child seats. Behind the three-spoke, leather wrapped steering wheel accented with red stitching, the driver faces easy-to-see instrument panel featuring a large, center-mounted tachometer with an analog speedometer to its left. When additional room is required, the one-piece rear seatback lowers to expand the space offered in the 6.9 cu. ft. trunk to provide enough room to now haul four-wheels, a helmet and basic supplies to weekend slalom or track events.<br />

  • 12 February 2015:  2015 LEXUS RC F: Lexus unleashes a major attraction in the Lexus display at the 107th annual Chicago Auto Show, Feb.14-22, 2015. It is the Lexus RC F, a low-slung, athletic coupe for MY2015, designed and engineered to support the most powerful V-8 performance car ever developed by Lexus. Backing up that claim is a 5.0-liter normally aspirated V-8 engine with more than 450 horsepower and more than 383 pound feet of torque. A first for Lexus, this eight-cylinder engine includes Atkinson and Otto cycle to optimize fuel efficiency and performance. Atkinson optimizes fuel efficiency at lower speeds and Otto cycle kicks in when needed for performance. The power is managed by an eight-speed transmission. To help optimize driving dynamics the RC F features an active wing like that on the LFA to increase downforce and improve grip over the rear 19-inch wheels. The hood includes a functional vent to decrease aerodynamic lift and of course there’s our most expressive spindle grille yet. In addition the RC F includes a Torque Vectoring Differential. As opposed to systems that react to loss of traction like ABS our Torque Vectoring Differential proactively manages traction in, through and out of corners. Inside, the instrument panel inspired by the LFA includes a seven-inch navigation screen. You'll find a touchpad interface. It's a Lexus first and works much like a touchpad on a laptop or mobile device. Swipe your finger over the touchpad to operate systems like climate control, navigation and media selections.<br />

  • 08  February 2013: 2013 Ford Atlas Concept pickup truck. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois<br />
<br />
FORD ATLAS CONCEPT: Calling all truck fans! If you want a glimpse at the future of Ford pickups, make sure to attend the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 9th to Feb. 18th. On display in full glory is the Ford Atlas concept that's a rolling showcase of features that will allow pickup truck owners to work and play smarter, not harder. First off, the prototype is 238 inches in length, with a 150 in wheelbase, which are close to the dimensions of the 2013 Ford F-Series SuperCab. The handsome Atlas concept's body is constructive of high-strength steel including boron, and the exterior shape is the results of a purpose-driven design. Note the chiseled grille that uses active grille shutters to improve aerodynamics to save gas; plus the prominent wheel arches and wide stance. The 22-in alloy wheels are framed by all-terrain tires. Examples that the Atlas was inspired by Ford listening to customers at the places they work and play, are the added multiple tie-down points integrated within the cargo box walls and load floor, along with 110-volt electrical outlets in the cargo box to charge power tools. An integrated roof carrying system and hidden extendable ramps give the truck unique functionality for a variety of jobs. The tailgate step turns into cargo cradle to carry long items. Move inside the cabin and notice the ergonomic "bullring" steering wheel, "floating" instrument pods, glove-friendly buttons and controls, and thin, lightweight leather seating that allows for extra rear passenger legroom. Ford said that a next-generation EcoBoost engine with auto start-stop powers the mighty Atlas, connected with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
