Founded in 1901, the Chicago Auto Show is one of the largest and longest running auto shows in the United States. Originally held in the Chicago Coliseum, the Chicago Auto Show now takes place at the McCormick Place Convention Center and features over 1,000 different cars, covers 1 million square feet, and includes five indoor test tracks as well as outdoor test drives.

As we enter the second half of the 2017 Chicago Auto Show, the CarCareCONNECT team wanted to give a few shoutouts to our personal favorite cars that have come out of the 109th Chicago Auto Show so far.

Fan Favorites

These brand new releases floored our team here at CarCareCONNECT. Between their exciting new features, envelope-pushing innovations, and an overall “cool factor,” these three 2018 models quickly became crowd favorites.

2018 Dodge Durango SRT

Dodge released its new 2018 Durango SRT at this year’s Chicago Auto Show. Auto show goers were drooling over the Durango SRT’s new exterior look and the three-row SUV’s impressive new features. The Durango SRT will be available to car enthusiasts and Dodge lovers alike this fall.

2018 Kia Stinger

Kia steps onto the luxury car scene with the new 2018 Kia Stinger. Your idea of a Kia is redefined with the Stinger’s new sophisticated design and twin-turbo V6 engine. The 2018 Stinger will be available for purchase later this year and you’ll finally be able to satisfy all of your luxury driving needs.

2018 Hyundai Elantra GT

The Hyundai Elantra GT was unveiled for the first time at the Chicago Auto Show this year. Hyundai’s newest hatchback gives the previous Elantra a facelift with more interior space, more horsepower, and more bells and whistles (like wireless smartphone charging and links to Amazon Alexa).

Super Cars

A super car is classified as an exotic car that usually cashes in well above the $100,000 range. While all of the super cars that came through the Chicago Auto Show were beyond impressive, a select few stood out from the crowd.

2017 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder

Lamborghini boasts that it has created the “the pinnacle of Italian taste and hand craftsmanship” in the new 2017 Huracan Spyder. Between its heavy-duty engine, lightweight soft top, and jaw-dropping good looks, the Huracan Spyder checks off all of the boxes on your exotic car wishlist.

2017 BMW i8

The BMW i8 is not your daddy’s sports car. This sporty plug-in hybrid boasts a fuel range of about 330 miles while also flying past the competition with an impressively quick 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. BMW enthusiasts will be happy to find that this innovative new model doesn’t disappoint when it comes to delivering that classic BMW driving experience.

Other Fun Releases

There were also a few other creative cars that were on display at The Chicago Auto Show:

Chevrolet Lego Batmobile

Constructed from over 350,000 legos, Chevrolet’s LEGO Batmobile was turning heads at the Chicago Auto Show this year. Based on Warner Bros.’ upcoming “The LEGO Batman Movie,” the LEGO Batmobile reaches 17 feet in length and weighs nearly a ton. According to the Chicago Auto Show website, the car is made of 344,187 LEGO^® bricks in 17 different colors and took 1,833 hours to build.

Nissan Rogue One: Star Wars

At this year’s Chicago Auto Show, Nissan unveiled its Star Wars inspired Nissan Rogue One. Originally just an ordinary Nissan Rogue, this special car has been modified to be the spitting image of a Rebel starfighter. Star Wars fans, start your engines.

As expected, the 2017 Chicago Auto Show delivered another awesome year of impressive automotive innovations. We don’t know about you, but here at CarCareCONNECT we are eagerly awaiting to see the rest of the exciting releases to come during the second half of Chicago Auto Show.
