Concept cars are prototype vehicles made for showcasing a new concept, style or technology. Most often concept vehicles are presented at automotive shows to check customer reaction and satisfaction to new looks, designs, technologies and radical changes which are still under consideration whether to go for mainstream production. Most concept cars must undergo at least some minor changes before the design is completely finnished and is ready for the use of the masses. Main changes are for the sake of practical use, safety standards and cost reduction. Occasionally concept cars come equipped with exotic materials like carbon fiber, which are very expensive even for today's average racing cars, however usage of such technologies in concept cars attract a lot of media attention and create some sort of hype around the vehicle concept.
