Preview: L.A. Auto Show's Design Challenge

By Colin Ryan, Special to the Los Angeles Times

A highlight of the L.A. Auto Show, happening Nov. 21-30, is the L.A. Design Challenge, in which competing car companies artistically render their most futuristic visions of what vehicles may be like 20 years hence. This year’s contest theme is “Motorsport in the Year 2025,” which has given applicants plenty of scope to let their imaginations run wild.

We’ve already seen one entry (the Mitsubishi MMR25) for the Design Challenge, but now we can check out the full complement of nine contenders.
