Honda LA Rolling Film Festival
(Honda Research & Development)
Less a car than a series of films which "represent the diverse cultural backdrop of this ever-evolving city", with drawings presented in the style of movie posters.

Hyundai Greenspeed Gator
(Eric M Stoddard, Hyundai Kia America Design Center)
One of the more serious prototypes, this fuel cell-powered racer with in-wheel electric motors showcases Hyundai's new fuel cell technology.
Its exterior design is meant to recall the drag racers of the 60s, with a purely functional frame - simply a fuselage with roll cage and a single sling-type seat, all built around a central-spine chassis, with the fuel cells integrally mounted. The hydrogen storage tanks live under the bonnet and power is directed straight to the pair of huge electric motors in each rear wheel.
