The interior of the all-new Continental GT is a masterpiece of fine detail. From the diamond pattern knurling on the vents and controls, to the machined center-console top, to the impossibly complicated stitching throughout the car, the GT exudes craftsmanship. Try this one on for size: 315,000 stitches using 1.8 miles of thread.

Volkswagen will be plunging head first into the BEV market, with different electrics aimed at different types of buyers in different geographic regions. Meet the three concepts that point the way: a city commuter, a crossover, and a minivan. They’re also designed with Level 4 autonomy in mind. Though still a few years away from production they present VW’s best thinking on how to develop new cars for an electrified world.

Hyundai unveiled three cars at the Frankfurt show, all aimed at different buyers. The i30 N is a track-ready hot hatch. The i30 Fastback moves the model line more upscale. And the Kona gets Hyundai into the B-segment for crossovers for the first time.

With a world going mad for crossovers, VW unleashes it’s smallest one yet. And yet it’s not that small. The T-Roc has a footprint identical to the VW Golf. It also offers what crossover buyers are looking for: a higher seating position, greater versatility and more room.

Bentley completely redesigned the Continental GT, yet stayed true to its predecessor’s iconic styling. How did it pull that off? By nailing the proportions and highlighting the character lines in a new way thanks to using super forming in the manufacturing process.

To the untrained eye it’s just another Mini, but subtle design details show that this one is electric. No, it’s not just the sealed off grille. Here’s a hint: look for the yellow highlights.

The i Vision concept is all about exploring where BMW can go with its styling. Say goodbye to the Hofmeister kink. Say hello to a new interpretation of the kidney grille, which is now a housing for sensors. And check out that DLO!

BMW is stepping into the full-size SUV segment with the 3-row X7. It’s all about presence and prestige, and the secret to the design is in its subtle details. This concept demonstrates what’s coming to showrooms in 2018.
