The Shanghai Auto Show is the place to go for Chinese consumers who want to see what the future of the automobile is going to look like. This year was one of the best as car companies from all around the world came out to show what they hope will be the next big thing.
Chevrolet kicked off the 2015 show in grand fashion with the debut of the FNR Concept.
The futuristic, electric, self-driving concept was designed by GM's team in Shanghai to commemorate Chevy's 10 year anniversary in China.
Chinese automakers were also out in force. Shanghai Automotive's MG brand showed off its new compact crossover, the GS.
China's pre-imminent luxury brand, HongQi, rolled out the LS5 SUV.
Power for the big Range Rover competitor is rumored to come from a twin-turbocharged V8.
Changan Automotive showed off its stylish Raeton CC Concept.
The 4-door coupe design study is reminiscent of Volkswagen's CC sedan.
Venucia, a joint venture between Dongfeng Motors and Nissan, debuted its Vow Concept.
The attractive crossover's blue paint was inspired by lakes high in the Andes mountains.
One of the most intriguing cars at the show was the all-electric Eagle Carrie. If it looks familiar, that's because its design draws heavily from the Ferrari California T and the Porsche Cayman.
Volvo also made a big splash at the show. The Chinese-owned Swedish brand introduced the ultra-luxury version of its new XC90 SUV.
Dubbed the "Excellence," the luxury Volvo could be available with a pair of private-jet-like rear captains chairs or ...

English supercar specialists McLaren unveiled the latest offering from their Sport Series — the 540C.
