The next top 4 cars at the Chicago Auto Show, 2010

Continued from the previous post about the top cars at the Auto Show.

The next car will be the DeltaWing IndyCar Concept. You've never heard of this before, but when you see the design, you will think of a ultra-F1. It looks like a cross between a dragster, landspeed racer and, well, a crime-fighting jet car. It weighs 1,000 pounds including the driver and has a very slippery 0.24 coefficient of drag. This combination allows the car to reach a top speed of 230 mph using a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, instead of the 650-horsepower 3.5-liter V8s currently in use. It will be set to debut in 2012. Below will be the picture of the DeltaWing Concept.



Toyota has recently taken a beating in the press lately, but that didn't stop the Japanese automaker from showing off its restyled - inside and out — 2011 Avalon here in Chi-Town. Power is still supplied by 3.5-liter V6 engine sending 268 horsepower through a 6-speed automatic transmission. Below shows the picture of 2011 Avalon.



Minivans are boring, but you can't deny their utility. At Chicago, Honda introduced the 2011 Odyssey Concept, a minivan that aims to create a new, hipper image without sacrificing utility. Details are sketchy at this point, but Honda says V6 power with Variable Cylinder Management will return, and fuel economy will improve to an estimated 19 city/ 28 highway. Here will be the picture for you to look at.



The last car will be the Kia Ray Concept. The Kia Ray is a compact plug-in hybrid sedan designed and engineered for maximum efficiency. Made of lightweight and recycled materials, the body eliminates side mirrors and door handles to reduce drag and uses a glass roof with solar cells that help power the vehicles' climate-control system. Below shows the picture of the environmental-friendly car.



That will be all about the Chicago Auto Show 2010.
