Events-The Chicago Auto Show

The Chicago Auto show was first staged in 1901, and is obviously one of the most important American Car shows. In this post you will find videos, pictures and coverage on the main cars shown, for the complete list and more information go to www.chicagoautoshow.com

After that lets see the Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible Collectors edition:
Claimed to be the fastest and most powerful Corvette ever produced this limited edition Corvette is a commemoration of the brand´s 60th anniversary.
It comes with a V8 505hp engine and is estimated to have a top speed of 305km/h

Another intresting car is the more extreme Soul, the Kia Track´ster Concept:
With a low posibility of the car coming to production the Kia is aming to the unknown side of the brand, the sporty cars, based on the Soul but with only 2 doors, it s an intresting and promising concept.

Moving on to something bigger (Actually a hell of a lot bigger) we have the Ram Laramie Limited:
It is introduced as a Luxurious Truck and we cant disagree, it will be on sale by late spring.

After that American classic-based muscle we go to a Japanese sports car, the Nissan 370Z:
The car is basically a  refreshed Z, now on its 6th Generation. And it is with no doubt the best car Nissan has to offer.

The Chicago Auto Show was certainly something worth watching, with very interesting concepts like The VW E-Bugster, Kia Track´ster Smart for-us and others. And also cars we will gladly see on the road in little time.
