Images: Car concepts gear up for Detroit show

    Mitsubishi Concept-CT MIEV

    The new year kicks off with a flurry of big tech-oriented events, from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to Macworld Expo in San Francisco. For those who like their hardware on wheels, there's also the North American International Auto Show, or NAIAS, taking place in Detroit from Jan. 8 to Jan. 22.

    Among the exhibitors will be Mitsubishi, which plans to present the world premiere of its Concept-CT MIEV. In this hybrid powertrain design, a gasoline engine works in conjunction with four in-wheel electric motors. Having the drive system inside the wheel itself, the company says, eliminates some mechanical components and frees up space for a hybrid's battery system--or the fuel cell stacks and hydrogen tanks in fuel cell vehicles.

    Reminiscent of the Honda Element and Toyota Scion xB, the Kia Soul concept car features a sportier wraparound windshield. The diminutive Soul also has a reconfigurable cargo space, and the rear lift gate includes a "drawer" for items such as a sopping wetsuit or muddy hiking shoes.

    In the 1954 edition of the event, when it was known as the Detroit Auto Show, the hot new models included the Studebaker Starliner coupe. The first Detroit Auto Show was held at Beller's Beer Garden in 1907; the event was renamed the North American International Auto Show in 1989.
