.png/v1/fill/w_320,h_320/file.jpg)
The concept cars unveiled in 2011 caught the automotive industry between two eras. Electric city commuters, plug-in hybrids and lightweight composite structures shared the spotlight with turbocharged sports coupes, extravagant coachbuilt machines and rugged racing prototypes. Detroit, Geneva, Shanghai, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Los Angeles and smaller regional events supplied new ideas about propulsion, materials, cabin design and everyday transport.
This alphabetical Story Cars guide documents 229 distinct 2011 concept cars, experimental vehicles, manufacturer-backed show builds and notable independent design studies. Each entry identifies the car's purpose and covers the powertrain, chassis, body construction, packaging or other engineering details made public at the time. Design-competition renderings and tuner builds are described as such rather than being presented as functioning factory prototypes.
Reveal years refer to the specific design or development vehicle, not the model year of the later production car. Proposed output, range and acceleration figures are identified as manufacturer claims or design goals where appropriate. The international record of one-off and student vehicles is incomplete, so this is a broad historical guide rather than a guaranteed census of every concept worldwide.
2011 Abarth Scorp-Ion (IED) Concept
Abarth Scorp-Ion (IED) Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Students at the Istituto Europeo di Design proposed a two-seat electric Abarth with four in-wheel traction motors and lithium batteries behind the seats. The full-scale model measured roughly 4.01 meters long and used a low roof, wide track and aerodynamic body surfaces to suggest a lightweight sports coupe. No running drivetrain or verified acceleration data accompanied the design-school study; it was not an Abarth production program.
2011 AC Schnitzer 99d Concept
AC Schnitzer 99d Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Built around a BMW Z4 roadster, the 99d used a modified two-liter turbo-diesel engine with 190 horsepower rather than a conventional gasoline performance conversion. Carbon-fiber components, a lightweight interior and extensive aerodynamic work helped target 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer without abandoning sporty handling. It was a tuner-built efficiency demonstrator, not a factory BMW concept or a production-certified new model.
2011 AC Schnitzer ACS5 Sport S Concept
AC Schnitzer ACS5 Sport S Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The ACS5 Sport S applied AC Schnitzer's engine, suspension and aerodynamic modifications to the contemporary BMW 5 Series. The show car combined bespoke body panels, larger wheels and revised cabin trim with a more aggressive chassis setup and powertrain tuning. This was an aftermarket development and show build rather than a new vehicle platform; the engineering changes remained specific to the tuner package.
2011 Alfa Romeo 4C Concept
Alfa Romeo 4C Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. A carbon-fiber central tub, mid-mounted turbocharged 1.75-liter four-cylinder and rear-wheel drive formed the technical basis of Alfa Romeo's compact sports car. The concept targeted a weight below 850 kilograms and paired a dual-clutch transmission with short overhangs, aluminum structural elements and double-wishbone-style front suspension. It previewed the production 4C but its original dimensions, claimed weight and component specification should not be confused with the later production car.
2011 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato
Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato was presented in 2011 at a private Zagato reveal. Zagato created the long-nosed TZ3 Stradale as a limited coachbuilt interpretation of Alfa Romeo history using the Dodge Viper ACR mechanical package. Its carbon-fiber body and rear-wheel-drive V10 architecture differentiated it from the earlier TZ3 Corsa racing one-off. This was a specialist coachbuilt car made in very small numbers, not a factory concept with a completely new Alfa Romeo drivetrain.
2011 Artega SE Concept
Artega SE Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The Artega SE proposed a battery-electric version of the mid-engined German GT coupe, replacing its V6 with rear-drive electric propulsion. A bespoke battery installation, electric power electronics and retained lightweight sports-car packaging formed the basis of the prototype. It demonstrated how the existing Artega GT architecture might be electrified; advertised performance was developmental rather than a series-production result.
2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato Concept
Aston Martin V12 Zagato Concept was presented in 2011 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Aston Martin and Zagato combined V12 Vantage underpinnings with a hand-built aluminum and carbon-fiber coupe body carrying Zagato's double-bubble roof. The 6.0-liter V12 and rear-wheel-drive layout were retained, while the aerodynamic form, reshaped cabin and motorsport equipment supported endurance-racing ambitions. The original prototype competed at the Nurburgring before an extremely limited road-car run followed.
2011 Audi A1 clubsport quattro Concept
Audi A1 clubsport quattro Concept was presented in 2011 at the Worthersee gathering. Audi placed a heavily modified 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder in its smallest hatchback and quoted 503 horsepower and 660 newton-meters. A wide-body shell, roof-mounted intake, quattro all-wheel drive and race-derived chassis parts transformed the A1 into a high-output demonstrator. The car was developed for exhibition and publicity rather than sale as a conventional A1 trim level.
2011 Audi A2 Concept
Audi A2 Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Audi reimagined the compact A2 as a battery-electric five-door hatchback with an electric motor rated at 85 kilowatts and a floor-mounted lithium-ion battery. Its flat cabin floor, aluminum-intensive construction, full-length glass roof and illuminated body surfaces emphasized low weight and efficient packaging. The proposed range and charging figures were manufacturer targets, and the show car never entered production in this form.
2011 Audi A3 e-tron Concept
Audi A3 e-tron Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. This plug-in-hybrid version of Audi's A3 sedan study paired a 1.4-liter TFSI gasoline engine with electric assistance for a stated system output around 238 horsepower. The four-seat notchback shared its platform proportions and aggressive bodywork with the Geneva sedan concept but added hybrid-specific components. It illustrated the early application of e-tron technology to a compact sedan rather than previewing an immediately available specification.
2011 Audi A3 Sedan Concept
Audi A3 Sedan Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Audi's four-seat compact sedan study used a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder rated at 408 horsepower, paired with S tronic and quattro all-wheel drive. A low roof, wide track, aluminum-intensive body structure and heavily flared arches hinted at a high-performance sedan smaller than the A4. The basic silhouette anticipated later A3 sedans, although the show engine and body were not a direct production combination.
2011 Audi A5 DTM (R17) Prototype
Audi A5 DTM (R17) Prototype was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Audi Sport's R17 previewed the two-door racing car that would replace the A4 in the German Touring Car Masters for the 2012 season. Its carbon-fiber monocoque and steel safety cage were developed around revised regulations, with a racing V8, rear-wheel drive and a six-speed sequential gearbox. This was a functioning competition development prototype rather than a road-car derivative, and later homologated body details changed before racing began.
2011 Audi Urban Concept
Audi Urban Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This tandem-seating electric city car combined a lightweight carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic cockpit with two electric motors at the rear wheels. The 1+1 cabin used staggered seats, exposed suspension elements and narrow wheels to minimize size, mass and urban energy consumption. It was a radical mobility research vehicle and never served as a production prototype for a normal Audi passenger car.
2011 Audi Urban Spyder Concept
Audi Urban Spyder Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The open-top Urban Spyder shared the tandem 1+1 seating, electric motors and lightweight composite chassis philosophy of Audi's enclosed Urban study. A lowered screen and open cockpit distinguished it from the closed version, while the rear-drive arrangement remained designed for low-speed city travel. Both body variants were presented as separate technical studies rather than practical production vehicles.
2011 BMW 328 Hommage Concept
BMW 328 Hommage Concept was presented in 2011 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. BMW celebrated the 1930s 328 with a modern two-seat roadster built around carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body elements and a classic straight-six concept. Leather straps, deep wheel openings, asymmetric screens and a minimalist cabin referenced the original competition roadster without copying its construction. The Hommage was a design statement and display model, not the foundation of a new lightweight production roadster.
2011 BMW 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid Concept
BMW 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. BMW showed an electrified long-wheelbase 5 Series developed with its Chinese partner Brilliance, pairing a turbocharged gasoline engine with electric drive. The prototype explored electric commuting and gasoline-powered long-distance operation while retaining executive-sedan passenger space. Early range and fuel-consumption figures were development targets rather than independently certified production results.
2011 BMW i3 Concept
BMW i3 Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. BMW's i3 introduced a purpose-built electric city-car architecture separating the carbon-fiber Life passenger module from the aluminum Drive module. A rear-mounted 125-kilowatt electric motor, flat underfloor battery and pillarless side-door opening created a spacious interior despite the short exterior. It previewed the production i3, but its glass area, door detailing and some interior materials changed before manufacture.
2011 BMW i8 Concept
BMW i8 Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The plug-in-hybrid i8 study combined a rear-mounted turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor driving the front wheels for electric all-wheel-drive operation. A lightweight passenger cell, low roof, scissor-style doors and aerodynamic body channels pursued sports-car performance with modest fuel use. BMW subsequently produced a substantially related i8, but the 2011 concept's quoted power and fuel-consumption targets were developmental.
2011 BMW M3 Pickup Concept
BMW M3 Pickup Concept was presented in 2011 at a BMW M development demonstration. BMW M engineers built a functioning pickup from an E92 M3 platform, retaining its high-revving 4.0-liter V8 and rear-wheel-drive chassis. The roof and rear body were reworked to carry a useful cargo bed while a reinforced structure maintained the M3's unusual balance of performance and utility. It was an internal one-off and April Fools-related publicity project, not a serious production proposal.
2011 BMW M5 Concept
BMW M5 Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. BMW previewed the F10-generation M5 with broader wheel arches, large front air intakes, aerodynamic mirror details and a rear diffuser. The concept anticipated the twin-turbocharged V8 and electronically controlled chassis that would appear in the production car. Its principal significance was a near-production preview rather than a separate experimental vehicle.
2011 BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. BMW's open two-seat roadster studied connected navigation, vehicle sensing and driver assistance through a layered display and interface arrangement. The long hood, short rear deck, retractable cabin surfaces and asymmetrical lighting communicated a dramatic roadster form rather than a defined engine program. It combined styling and digital-interface research; no certified drivetrain or road performance was announced.
2011 BRABUS High-Performance 4WD Full Electric Prototype
BRABUS High-Performance 4WD Full Electric Prototype was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. BRABUS fitted a Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan with four Protean electric hub motors for a total announced peak output of approximately 320 kW. Independent wheel propulsion provided all-wheel-drive control and a claimed combined wheel torque figure of 3,200 Nm, although that is not equivalent to crankshaft engine torque. The vehicle demonstrated high-output hub-motor packaging rather than a BRABUS series-production powertrain.
2011 BRABUS Technology Project Hybrid
BRABUS Technology Project Hybrid was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The E 220 CDI-based experimental sedan combined a diesel engine with two Protean rear-wheel hub motors and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. BRABUS aimed to permit limited electric driving and torque assistance without sacrificing the standard E-Class cabin or its front-mounted combustion drivetrain. The federally supported demonstrator reached an advanced development stage, but it was not a regular Mercedes-Benz factory hybrid.
2011 Brilliance EV Concept
Brilliance EV Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. Brilliance showed an electric passenger-car study as Chinese manufacturers investigated battery propulsion for domestic urban mobility. The concept emphasized electric-drive packaging and display technology over a published suite of tested range, acceleration and battery specifications. It should not be confused with the brand's unrelated production sedans or later electrified development vehicles.
2011 Buick Envision Concept
Buick Envision Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. Buick used a dramatically sculpted crossover with gullwing-style doors to preview its future premium SUV design direction for China. The concept combined an advanced hybrid propulsion proposal with a sharply defined shoulder line, panoramic glass and an expansive digital cabin. It was a styling and packaging statement rather than a verified production Envision with the same doors or powertrain.
2011 Buick LaCrosse GL Concept
Buick LaCrosse GL Concept was presented in 2011 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The GL was a luxury interior exercise built from a LaCrosse sedan, focusing on new leather, wood and sculpted seat treatments instead of a different engine layout. Its front and rear compartments used distinctive hand-finished materials and revised trim details to explore a more exclusive Buick presentation. The production-related show car did not introduce a newly engineered platform or unique performance figures.
2011 BYD 3A Concept
BYD 3A Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. BYD previewed a new compact-car direction with the 3A, using sharp body surfaces and a contemporary interior presentation for the Chinese market. Technical information about the specific exhibition drivetrain was limited, so ordinary BYD production specifications should not be assigned to it. The design was an early-stage product preview rather than a publicly certified electric or hybrid prototype.
2011 Cadillac Ciel Concept
Cadillac Ciel Concept was presented in 2011 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Cadillac unveiled a large four-seat open grand tourer with rear-hinged back doors and a long wheelbase inspired by traditional American luxury convertibles. A proposed twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 hybrid powertrain with approximately 425 horsepower underpinned the idea, alongside advanced cabin technology and handcrafted trim. Ciel remained a running design and luxury-direction study, not a production Cadillac convertible.
2011 Changan Clover Concept
Changan Clover Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Changan presented the Clover as an urban design study with a compact body and bright, sculpted styling intended to express a youthful brand identity. The cabin and exterior prioritized packaging and visual experimentation, while published production-ready powertrain specifications remained limited. It was distinct from Changan's Sense coupe and SUV study displayed in the same period.
2011 Changan Sense Concept
Changan Sense Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. The Sense was a large two-door grand-tourer design study with a long hood and a plug-in-hybrid powertrain proposal involving a gasoline V6. Its low roofline, pronounced rear haunches and dramatic door treatment attempted to move Changan into a more premium design language. The 2011 show model did not evolve into a production coupe with the same drivetrain.
2011 Changan SUV Concept
Changan SUV Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Changan showed an upright crossover proposal beside its other design studies, exploring a more substantial SUV silhouette. Raised ground clearance, prominent arches and a passenger-oriented body package were the visual priorities; no independent running-performance figures were established. The vehicle was a brand design proposal rather than evidence of a production-ready drivetrain.
2011 Changan Voss MPV Concept
Changan Voss MPV Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. Changan proposed an unusually angular multi-purpose vehicle with gullwing-style doors, a tall greenhouse and an open lounge-like cabin. Reports from the show described a plug-in-hybrid arrangement with an unconventional five-cylinder gasoline engine, although complete production-caliber specifications were not issued. The Voss was a future MPV design study and did not become a production model in its show-car form.
2011 Chery Riich X1 EV Show Concept
Chery Riich X1 EV Show Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. The Riich X1 EV display explored battery-electric propulsion in Chery's compact crossover format, with an upright cabin and raised ride height. Exterior packaging stayed close to a practical city crossover, emphasizing feasibility of electrification over a completely new sports-car body. Published show information did not establish a reliable final battery capacity or independently measured range, and the exhibit should not be confused with every gasoline X1 derivative.
2011 Chevrolet Colorado Concept
Chevrolet Colorado Concept was presented in 2011 at the Bangkok International Motor Show. Chevrolet presented a next-generation global midsize pickup proposal with muscular arches, a large dual-port grille and a modernized double-cab interior. The truck explored diesel-powered workhorse packaging and international-market requirements, with visual details later adapted for the production Colorado. The original show truck was a preview, not a separate limited-production Colorado derivative.
2011 Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept
Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept was presented in 2011 at the Buenos Aires International Motor Show. Chevrolet adapted its new Colorado design into a more aggressive rally-themed pickup study, adding beadlock-style wheels, substantial ground clearance and recovery hardware.

It remained a styling and capability demonstrator, not a certified customer racing model.
2011 Chevrolet Miray Concept
Chevrolet Miray Concept was presented in 2011 at the Seoul Motor Show. GM Korea created a compact two-seat roadster with plug-in-hybrid propulsion, employing two front-wheel electric motors and a small gasoline engine for the rear axle. A carbon-fiber-reinforced body, open cockpit and sharp vertical lighting combined modern materials with references to older Chevrolet sports cars. The concept illustrated an experimental electric all-wheel-drive configuration and was never developed as a production roadster.
2011 Chevrolet Sonic Dusk Concept
Chevrolet Sonic Dusk Concept was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. Chevrolet previewed a more mature, upscale Sonic hatchback and sedan accessory direction through the Dusk show vehicle. Its dark exterior finish, larger wheels, revised fascia and upgraded interior trim set it apart from entry-level Sonic production cars. The custom's focus was market positioning and accessories, rather than a newly developed engine or chassis architecture.
2011 Chevrolet Sonic Z-Spec Concept
Chevrolet Sonic Z-Spec Concept was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. The Sonic Z-Spec explored a performance-oriented accessory program for Chevrolet's new subcompact hatchback. Body stripes, aerodynamic extensions, dark-finish wheels and cabin accents were designed to give the ordinary production platform a racing-inspired appearance. Powertrain and handling changes varied by build; it was an official display vehicle rather than a distinct homologated model.
2011 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Concept
Chevrolet TrailBlazer Concept was presented in 2011 at the Dubai International Motor Show. Chevrolet unveiled a near-production seven-seat SUV concept based on global body-on-frame truck underpinnings, with strong squared-off exterior proportions. The vehicle was designed for diesel-oriented export markets and promised substantial towing and off-road usefulness. It previewed the later global Trailblazer but its exact production trim and engine figures should not be read back into the show concept.
2011 Chrysler 300 SF6 (Mopar)
Chrysler 300 SF6 (Mopar) was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. The Mopar Underground team modified a Chrysler 300S with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, cold-air intake, long-tube headers and Corsa exhaust. Bigger SRT8 brakes, KW coilovers, 22-inch wheels and strut braces supported the lowered four-door body, while Katzkin leather distinguished the cabin. It was a performance-accessory image vehicle rather than a factory-new Chrysler sedan model.
2011 Citroen Tubik Concept
Citroen Tubik Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Citroen revived the spirit of the Type H van in a futuristic multi-passenger shuttle intended for shared journeys and flexible seating. A proposed HYbrid4 diesel-electric layout, seating for nine and lounge-style interior prioritized ride experience over an ordinary van layout. The unusual asymmetrical windshield and wraparound body panels marked it as a design experiment with no direct production successor.
2011 Dacia Duster No Limit Pikes Peak Prototype
Dacia Duster No Limit Pikes Peak Prototype was presented in 2011 for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Dacia and Renault Sport supported a purpose-built Duster-shaped hill-climb racer with a tubular racing chassis and enormous aerodynamic bodywork. A mid-mounted turbocharged Nissan-derived V6 delivered approximately 850 horsepower through a competition all-wheel-drive system for the mountain's unrestricted Unlimited category. Its recognizable Duster outline disguised a specialized racing prototype, not a production SUV suspension or engine conversion.
2011 Daihatsu D-X Concept
Daihatsu D-X Concept was presented in 2011 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Daihatsu's modular two-seat small sports car proposed interchangeable upper body modules that could change its character from roadster to coupe or utility vehicle. A small-displacement turbocharged two-cylinder gasoline engine was proposed beneath the front hood, while a low beltline and short wheelbase kept its proportions compact. The show car explored adaptable body construction and was not a production Copen specification.
2011 Daihatsu FC Sho Case Concept
Daihatsu FC Sho Case Concept was presented in 2011 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Daihatsu created a box-like light-commercial electric study powered by a compact fuel-cell system. The nearly vertical body sides, low floor and large access aperture made packaging and efficient passenger or cargo space the chief engineering priorities. Published data concerned proposed fuel-cell capability; a road-certified range and full production drivetrain were not established.
2011 Daihatsu Pico Concept
Daihatsu Pico Concept was presented in 2011 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Pico was a narrow two-seat tandem electric microcar positioned between a scooter and a conventional kei vehicle. Its tall side openings, accessible step-in cabin and electrically powered low-speed chassis targeted elderly drivers and short urban trips. The prototype explored a new category of personal mobility rather than a replacement for ordinary Daihatsu hatchbacks.
2011 DeltaWing Project 56 Concept
DeltaWing Project 56 Concept was presented in 2011 at a 2011 motorsport development presentation. The DeltaWing was a radical low-drag racing proposal with a very narrow front track, extremely wide rear track and unusual triangular planform. Its lightweight structure aimed to achieve competitive lap times using less engine power and less fuel than contemporary sports prototypes. It preceded the racing DeltaWing program but the 2011 concept was a development proposal, not a fully homologated road vehicle.
2011 De Tomaso Deauville Concept
De Tomaso Deauville Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The revived De Tomaso organization showed a high-riding luxury four-door styled with Pininfarina involvement and intended to compete with premium crossovers. An aluminum-intensive structural proposal and prospective V6 and V8 engine options formed part of the presentation. Financial difficulties prevented the planned production program from taking off, and final production engines should not be assumed from concept material.
2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 ACR (Mopar)
Dodge Challenger SRT8 ACR (Mopar) was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. Mopar Underground modified the 392 Hemi-powered Challenger with motorsport-inspired body components, stiffer suspension and an intentionally stripped-out interior.

The ACR name evoked the Dodge Viper but this concept was not offered as a factory Challenger variant.
2011 Dodge Durango Tow Hook (Mopar)
Dodge Durango Tow Hook (Mopar) was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. The Tow Hook was a large-wheel Dodge Durango customization with bright orange bodywork, black roof graphics and an upgraded exhaust system. Mopar added 22-inch forged wheels, reworked seat trim and special interior accents to test a street-oriented performance-SUV appearance. The vehicle retained the production Durango architecture; it was a promotional parts showcase, not a new Durango platform.
2011 EDAG Light Car Sharing Concept
EDAG Light Car Sharing Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. German engineering company EDAG designed the Light Car Sharing as a compact electric transport vehicle organized around fleet and rental duty. Its passenger layout, lightweight body and integrated connected-services proposals aimed to minimize the ownership and charging problems of short trips. It was a mobility-service demonstrator, not a production car with certified consumer battery range.
2011 Eterniti Hemera Concept
Eterniti Hemera Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new British luxury startup displayed an SUV project intended to combine supercar output with limousine-level cabin treatment. Its development basis was linked to a Porsche Cayenne-derived high-performance platform, with revised bodywork and extensive interior customization. The Hemera name was later dropped in favor of Artemis, so published later production specifications should not be treated as proven concept specifications.
2011 FAW Besturn B90 Concept
FAW Besturn B90 Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. FAW showed a high-end sedan design preview positioned above its existing Besturn models and aimed at buyers seeking a larger Chinese-market family car.

Early reporting concentrated on styling and planned series development rather than certified prototype power or acceleration.
2011 FAW GO / Oley Concept
FAW GO / Oley Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. FAW displayed the GO compact sedan proposal that helped preview the forthcoming Oley, a value-focused model positioned below the Besturn B50. The concept emphasized youthful exterior treatment on conventional front-drive small-car architecture and a practical four-door cabin. Its later production form used a 1.5-liter engine, but those specifications are not automatically the same as the Shanghai display vehicle.
2011 FAW X Concept
FAW X Concept was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. FAW's X study investigated a modern crossover or multipurpose body with a prominent grille and sharply defined exterior panels. The prototype emphasized proportions and packaging more than publicly validated powertrain ratings or aerodynamic figures. It remained part of the company's 2011 concept program and should not be conflated with subsequent Besturn production crossovers.
2011 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Superamerica 45
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Superamerica 45 was presented in 2011 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Ferrari built the Superamerica 45 as a one-off coachbuilt variant of the 599 GTB, keeping the front-mounted V12 and rear-drive grand-tourer layout. A unique rotating carbon-fiber roof, redesigned rear deck and bespoke exterior panels combined open-air use with coupe-like body proportions. This was a privately commissioned special project rather than a conventional motor-show concept, and only one was built.
2011 Fiat 500 Carbon (Mopar)
Fiat 500 Carbon (Mopar) was presented in 2011 at the SEMA Show. Fiat's Carbon image vehicle retained the regular 500 platform but added Mopar suspension springs, cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust components.

The wagon concept kept a low roofline and sculpted fenders but did not reach production in its unveiled form.
2011 Ford B-MAX Concept
Ford B-MAX Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Ford proposed a compact family MPV with a novel body-side opening that eliminated the conventional center pillar between the front and rear doors. The concept combined front-hinged front doors and sliding rear doors, with body-integrated structural reinforcement to retain side-impact protection. It previewed the production B-MAX and showed how everyday access requirements could shape the vehicle's architecture.
2011 Ford Evos Concept
Ford Evos Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The Evos was a low four-door fastback with upward-opening doors and a plug-in-hybrid concept powertrain used to launch Ford's new global styling language. Its connected-car ideas included adaptive settings that could coordinate navigation, driver preferences and vehicle behavior. The distinctive grille and swept headlamps appeared on later Ford production models, while the Evos itself remained a study.
2011 Ford Fiesta ST Concept
Ford Fiesta ST Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Ford previewed a performance Fiesta using a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with an intended output near 180 horsepower. Revised suspension, bigger brakes, a body kit and a close-ratio manual transmission were described as part of a compact hot-hatch package. The study foreshadowed the production ST, though the exact show setup was not a production-certified configuration.
2011 Ford Focus ST Concept
Ford Focus ST Concept was presented in 2011 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The five-door performance hatch study prepared the American market for a global Focus ST using a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. A six-speed manual gearbox, tuned suspension, sport seats and widened lower intake separated the hot hatch from the ordinary Focus. It was a near-production performance preview rather than a completely experimental chassis.
2011 Ford Focus ST-R Racing Prototype
Ford Focus ST-R Racing Prototype was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Ford Racing developed a track-focused Focus ST derivative with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, a competition suspension setup and strengthened braking hardware.

The electric platform was designed around short trips, low manufacturing cost and mass reduction to limit battery requirements. It was a university engineering prototype, not a car placed into normal retail production.
2011 Volkswagen Beetle R Concept
Volkswagen Beetle R Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Volkswagen created a more aggressive Beetle performance proposal with broader bumper openings, large wheels and a lowered stance. The design was based on the new front-drive Beetle architecture and explored whether Golf R-like sporting equipment suited the retro-inspired coupe. It remained a show car, not a series-production Beetle R.
2011 Volkswagen Buggy Up! Concept
Volkswagen Buggy Up! Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The Buggy Up! adapted VW's new compact Up platform into an open two-seat beach buggy with shortened windshield, raised sides and waterproof-style cabin trim. Its body emphasized low mass, simple construction and the fun of an open-air vehicle rather than serious off-road articulation. The concept was a modern tribute to dune buggies and did not reach VW dealerships.
2011 Volkswagen Bulli Concept
Volkswagen Bulli Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Volkswagen revisited its classic Microbus theme through a small electric people carrier with boxy proportions and a six-seat interior. A battery-electric drive system, broad sliding-door access and a flat passenger compartment prioritized city use and weekend mobility. Its styling influenced later van concepts but the Bulli itself was not produced.
2011 Volkswagen Cross Coupe Concept
Volkswagen Cross Coupe Concept was presented in 2011 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Cross Coupe combined SUV ride height with a low coupe roof and a proposed plug-in hybrid all-wheel-drive system. Its platform ideas used a transverse gasoline engine and electric motors to deliver efficient traction in a compact crossover body. The show concept predated later VW plug-in SUVs but had its own developmental architecture.
2011 Volkswagen Cross Up! Concept
Volkswagen Cross Up! Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Cross Up! gave the compact Up a rugged crossover-style appearance with contrasting bumper protection, raised visual ride height and roof equipment. The underlying small front-drive city-car package remained focused on urban efficiency, not heavy-duty four-wheel drive. A related production Cross Up! later appeared with more restrained fittings.
2011 Volkswagen eco up! Concept
Volkswagen eco up! Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Volkswagen showed a compressed-natural-gas-oriented interpretation of the Up city-car family aimed at extremely low fuel use. The proposal focused on a small lightweight body and a highly efficient gas powertrain suitable for daily urban journeys. It was one of several Up derivatives presented around the 2011 Frankfurt reveal and should not be confused with the later production eco up.
2011 Volkswagen eT Concept
Volkswagen eT Concept was presented in 2011 at a Volkswagen commercial-vehicle research reveal. Volkswagen's eT explored a fully electric delivery van intended for city logistics, using a boxy body and novel automated driving-assistance functions. Ideas included a follow-me mode that could track a delivery worker and control arrangements for low-speed movement without conventional full-time driving. The study focused on delivery operations, not private passenger transport.
2011 Volkswagen e-Up! Concept (2011 version)
Volkswagen e-Up! Concept (2011 version) was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Volkswagen presented an evolved battery-electric Up show vehicle ahead of the small EV's planned series-production launch. A compact electric motor, floor-associated energy storage and familiar five-door city-car proportions preserved ordinary usability. It was a renewed development iteration, distinct from the earlier 2009 e-Up! concept and from the final production model.
2011 Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet Concept
Volkswagen Golf GTI Cabriolet Concept was presented in 2011 at the Worthersee GTI meeting. Volkswagen imagined an open-top version of the Golf GTI using the two-liter turbocharged engine and chassis philosophy of the hot hatch. The cabriolet body received sporty trim, larger wheels and a revised aerodynamic appearance. It was a factory show exercise ahead of a later production GTI Cabriolet.
2011 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet Concept
Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet Concept was presented in 2011 at the Worthersee GTI meeting. The Golf R Cabriolet explored a high-output open Golf with a 270 PS turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and extensive performance styling. Its lowered suspension, special wheels and improved brakes highlighted the challenge of delivering hot-hatch response in a convertible body. The study eventually foreshadowed a production Golf R Cabriolet, but its early calibration remained concept-stage.
2011 Volkswagen GT Up! Concept
Volkswagen GT Up! Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The GT Up! was a performance-themed version of VW's small city-car architecture with more aggressive grille details, lowered suspension and lightweight visual cues. Its design anticipated the idea of a very small hot hatch rather than a large sports engine retrofit. The show was a styling exercise without a certified mass-production GT output figure.
2011 Volkswagen NILS Concept
Volkswagen NILS Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Volkswagen built the NILS as a single-seat battery-electric commuter with exposed wheels, aluminum construction and an extremely narrow passenger cell. The design used low mass and a small battery to make short commutes feasible with minimal energy consumption. Its unconventional seating and appearance prevented a straightforward conversion into a regular city-car range.
2011 Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 Qatar Concept
Volkswagen Race Touareg 3 Qatar Concept was presented in 2011 at the Qatar Motor Show. Volkswagen transformed the Dakar-winning Race Touareg 3 racing truck into a more luxurious show proposal with an upgraded cabin and striking white body treatment. The diesel-racing chassis, four-wheel drive and extreme suspension retained off-road competition DNA, although cabin details and finish targeted potential specialty buyers. It was a show-based derivative rather than an official production Touareg SUV.
2011 Volkswagen Up! Azzurra Sailing Team Concept
Volkswagen Up! Azzurra Sailing Team Concept was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Italdesign collaborated on a coastal leisure version of VW's Up with open roof treatment, yacht-like finishes and simple waterproof-style trim. The focus was transporting passengers and equipment around marinas, not high-speed driving or advanced propulsion. It remained a studio derivative of the Up city-car idea.
2011 Volkswagen XL1 Concept (2011 version)
Volkswagen XL1 Concept (2011 version) was presented in 2011 at the Qatar Motor Show. Volkswagen developed a two-seat aerodynamic plug-in-hybrid prototype around a very narrow low-drag body and carbon-fiber-reinforced construction. A small two-cylinder diesel engine and electric motor worked together to target fuel use close to one liter per 100 kilometers. The experimental XL1 preceded a very limited production series but the 2011 car retained concept-stage engineering.
2011 Volvo Concept Universe
Volvo Concept Universe was presented in 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. Volvo showed a large executive sedan design study with a distinctive concave grille, long wheelbase and lounge-like cabin. The sweeping roofline and generous passenger space explored a more luxurious identity for Volvo's upcoming flagship cars. The project primarily influenced design language rather than validating a newly announced engine.
2011 Volvo Concept You
Volvo Concept You was presented in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Concept You evolved the Universe into a lower, more flowing fastback with a broad digital cockpit and dramatically sculpted passenger compartment. Extensive touchscreen controls and premium materials suggested a Scandinavian alternative to traditional luxury sedans. No production-ready engine specification or direct series manufacturing program was attached to the display car.
2011 Wiesmann Spyder Concept
Wiesmann Spyder Concept was presented in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The minimalist open Wiesmann Spyder was a compact two-seat sports-car study using a BMW-sourced V8 and rear-wheel drive. A stripped cabin, very low windshield and target mass under one metric ton aimed to maximize performance and driver connection. The proposed acceleration and speed figures were factory goals, and the model never entered the announced production plan.
