The 8 Hottest Cars at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show

BMW I8 Concept

Featured in the recent Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol with Tom Cruz, this car is worthy of movie-star status. In addition to bright detailing on the side and incredible styling, the vehicle looks like it was plucked out of the future. Gull wing doors that extend up overhead instead of outward give it a spaceship feel. The plug-in hybrid is part of BMW’s effort to provide sustainabile mobility transportation. But, as evidenced with this eye candy, drivers won’t need to sacrifice performance or style to make that happen.
