The Jeep Wrangler Dragon design concept is a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with 18-inch wheels, 35-inch off-road tires and gold-colored details on various parts of its black body. It also has a big dragon on the side. It’s among several concept cars being debuted or reintroduced at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, which runs through May 2. Honda showed off its Concept S minivan at the China show. It’s one of two Honda concept cars debuting in Beijing. Sleeker-looking that many entries in the minivan parade, the Concept S is smaller than the Odyssey minivan. Few details were available, but Honda reportedly has said the production version of the Concept S will have a hybrid powertrain.

This two-seater electric vehicle from Chinese auto maker Chery would link up with others on the road, sensing which @Ants were going in the same direction and create a “train” that the car maker says would be more efficient, safer and easier on commuters. Bentley is showing off the Bentley Continental GT V8 coupe at the Beijing auto show. Bentley says the GT V8 has a 4-liter, twin-turbocharged engine with 500 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The top speed is 188 mph. The auto maker says it will get 40% better fuel efficiency than its 12-cylinder siblings. The BMW i8 Concept Spyder is one of several models BMW is showing off in Beijing. The BMW i is a label BMW is giving its hybrid line, along with eDrive, its electrical motor system. This Spyder is a plug-in hybrid with a 131-horsepower motor upfront and a midmounted turbocharged thee-cylinder gas engine. The Chrysler 300 Ruyi design concept was unveiled at the Beijing show as Chrysler tries to connect with a growing customer base in China. This car is based on 300C sedan and is designed to appeal with sophisticated, urban style elements. It’s the McCar and it’s designed by Chinese car maker Geely. The name reportedly is short for MagiC Car. The vehicle has folding and removable seats that can configured in many ways to accommodate everything from luggage to wheelchairs and fold-up motorcycles. This special edition Range Rover, the Evoque, was designed with input from Victoria Beckham, now Land Rover's creative executive. But is it posh enough? The version unveiled at the Beijing auto show has matte black paint with gloss black and rose-gold trim. The interior is finished in vintage-finish leather, mohair floor mats and a microsuede headliner. It also comes with a four-piece set of fitted leather luggage, and a leather portfolio carrying the owner’s manual and bearing Victoria Beckham’s signature. Honda’s other concept car shown off at the China auto show is the Concept C sedan. The company says the “C” stands for “cool,” challenge,” and “China.” According to Autoweek’s editors, while it resembles a late-model Hyundai dressed up in Super Sentai garb, Honda claims that the C’s design was inspired by a dragon. Aimed at the Chinese middle class, the Concept C’s production variant will see daylight next year, Autoweek says.
