New York Auto Show 2014

Specialized vehicles, sporting varying degrees of aesthetic and performance modifications, are one way automakers keep their products fresh in the global eye. This makeover technique is exactly what McLaren’s Special Operations (MSO) has done with the menacing, all-black MSO 650S Coupe Concept.

As the New York Auto Show gets ready to wrap up, one boutique supercar manufacturer chose an intimate space away from the show to debut its latest creation. McLaren’s North American debut of the 650S might have been low-key, but the new offerings more than compensated for the understated affair.

Last week, Lamborghini’s Huracán LP 610-4 made its North American debut at a private event as part of the New York International Auto Show, and Gizmag was there. Head of Design, Filippo Perini was on hand to provide insight on using the Fibonacci sequence and biomimicry as key design drivers.

The New York Auto Show is one of North America’s premier automotive related events, and Gizmag was on the ground to investigate and capture some of the show’s most interesting debuts and reveals. Here’s our first-hand look at some of the highlights and the key designs from the show.

BMW's xDrive meets its eDrive in the new Concept X5 eDrive. The concept blends utility and cleanliness like few other vehicles. Originally revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it was reworked for this month's New York International Auto Show.

So, you like the basic idea of the Honda Fit (or Jazz, depending on where you live), but you want something a little more ... versatile. Well, that's where the HR-V comes into the picture. It's a Fit-based compact SUV, and Honda just revealed the first photos of it.

Late last week, Nissan unveiled the latest version of its Murano crossover at the New York International Auto Show. It offers some appealing new features, and is reportedly 16 percent more aerodynamic than the previous model.

In 1989, Mazda introduced what would become the best-selling two-seater sports car of all time – the MX-5 Miata. Twenty-five years and over 940,000 sales later, Mazda has now unveiled a special 25th Anniversary Edition of the car, which we spied at this year's New York International Auto Show.

Land Rover’s been dropping hints about its new Discover Vision concept in the run up to the 2014 New York International Auto Show, and it’s now taken the lid off the technology showcase for the Land Rovers of the future.

Land Rover teased its new Discovery Vision concept last week and now the car maker reveals a bit more about the Vision – or rather, less. That’s because the latest tease demonstrates a new technology that uses cameras and heads-up displays to make the front of the car “invisible” to the driver.

With the New York Auto Show just around the corner, manufacturers are beginning to leak details of some of their new offerings. BMW will be on hand next week with not one but two new models: the M4 Convertible, with its 425 hp twin-turbo engine, and the mid-range crossover in the form of the X4.

Land Rover has released a teaser video and image of its new Discover Vision Concept ahead of the 2014 New York International Auto Show, and the company is keeping its cards pretty close to the vest.
