No question, the Demon was the biggest newsmaker of the 2017 New York Auto Show. With a maximum output of 840 horsepower from a big supercharged V8, the Demon is a street legal drag race car. Its real purpose, though, isn't just to win races. It's to burnish Dodge's rule-breaker brand image. Only 3,300 will ever be built.

Hyundai's luxury brand, Genesis, wants to compete against established rivals like Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. To do that, it needs to offer an SUV. This concept provides a hint of what that future model could look like. The headlights are reduced to tiny slits as designers prepare for a day when cars drive themselves using radar and headlights will no longer be a necessary part of car design, Genesis designer Luc Donckerwolke said.
