The Hummer HX concept was one of the surprise hits of this year’s Detroit  show. Penned by three young designers, it is pure concept-car madness.

The Mille Chili? So this is Ferrari’s green supercar… Yes. Officially it has no name, but internally it’s called the Mille Chili (thousand kilos) and it’s arguably the most important concept car Ferrari has ever shown.
