Mercedes C-class AMG DTM (2012) at Frankfurt motor show

Mercedes’ F125 concept might preview a hydrogen future for the automobile, but alongside this tech-laden show car Benz boss Dr Zetsche (with a little help from Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg) also unveiled a hardcore race car.

Nissan Terra SUV concept (2012) first official pictures

It's not Leaf-style EVs, you know.

Of course, the majority of deaths are senseless and tragic, so to qualify it darkens the lily.
