Fantastic Voyage: Presenting the Best Concept Cars of the Year

By nature, a concept gives designers and engineers free rein with ideas and the ability to experiment with technology and materials without the burden of production-focused regulations guiding their every decision. Running the gamut from mild to wild, concept cars offer a peek into the soul of a manufacturer and often portend future design directions. And of the dozens of concepts that emerged this year, these are the very best.

Those interested the future of Audi design need look no further than the Prologue. The first concept to debut since Marc Lichte took over at Audi design, the Prologue offers about as literal of an outlook of the future as you’ll find outside of the German company's concept design studio in Munich. Lower than the current Audi A8 sedan, it blends traditional Audi styling cues with modern touches such as full width taillamps and a wide, flat, touch-sensitive organic-LED dash.
