The enlarged side skirts, also crafted from carbon fiber, give the SUV a more muscular profile without going overboard. Our favorite detail is at the rear, where a roof-edge spoiler in carbon…

Concept cars are usually confined to auto shows and museums, but not this one. Audi went through the trouble of registering the Concept C for street use, even though it’s not for sale.

As a result, truck sales are up, with V-8 models flying off lots.
