Los Angeles Auto Show
At the Los Angeles Auto Show this week, the Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 (shown above) was previewed. This is a two-seat sports car limited edition of the road version of the GT2 Lemans car.
In addition to the Spyker, the LA auto show had the 2009 Nissan Cube which attracted a lot of attention. This car is a hit in Japan. The Cube’s design was inspired by the iPod, and is supposed to look like one. This is the first time this car will be sold in the United States.
Another exciting concept vehicle that was introduced was the Honda FC Sport (shown above) fuel-cell vehicle. In the Honda FC Sport, the driver is positioned in the center of the vehicle. A fuel cell stack is behind the rear seats, an electric motor sits just ahead of the rear axle, and a battery pack sits low in the center of the vehicle. You can see the two fuel storage tanks in the rear windows. It’s a bizarre looking car, but attracting some attention nevertheless.
Also making its debut at the auto show was the 2010 Ford Mustang. So, even though it was said that there was a black cloud over the opening of this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, if you went there seemed to be a lot to see.
