2011 Frankfurt auto show: Day 2 wrap-up
Day two of the International Motor Show in Frankfurt comes to a close and we take a look back at new super cars, concept cars, and even a few regular cars.

Hyundai i30
The previous generation i30 made its way to the U.S. market as an Elantra hatchback variant, so there's a chance that the newly announced i30 could also wear the Elantra Touring badge.
Jaguar C-X16 concept
Easily one of the best looking concepts at the show, this small grand tourer features a powerful gasoline engine that is supplemented with an electric motor that supplies an instant power boost at the touch of a button.
Volkswagen Nils concept
The VW Nils has a tailpipe emission of nil, as it's powered by a small electric engine. There's just enough power and space to take a single driver on a 40-mile round trip between charges.
Fisker Surf concept
Fisker finally adds a second car to its portfolio with the Surf concept. This range-extender electric vehicle takes the looks and tech of the Karma sedan and stretches them to a shooting brake form factor.
BMW i3 concept
The smaller of BMW's i concepts shares its futuristic aesthetic with the larger i8 concept, but this is a city car that offers an all-electric power train.
Mazda CX-5
Mazda debuts the first production car to use its Kodo design language with the announcement of the CX-5 crossover. This is also one of the first vehicles to take advantage of the automaker's SkyActiv suite of efficiency technologies.
