Motor Shows is one of the events for car manufacturers to showcase their concept cars or the prototype to gauge the customers’ reaction towards their masterpiece. Often, the event was used to determine whether their prototypes would go into production. Some said it was used to tease consumers for feedback if their concept cars can supercharged the audience to part away their money to have a piece of it.

Along with their prototype, car manufacturers would introduce their cutting-edge technology such as the 999-kg Lamborghini Sesto Elemento that has a design similar to radar-evading stealth fighter-car, though this one doesn’t drop any guided missile.
