Filed under: Concept Cars , Detroit Auto Show The last two days for us auto-obsessive types have been a blur of press conferences and vehicle debuts in what has been a typically hectic Detroit Auto Show . As the final day of the press preview comes to an end, though, we’ve been able to walk around the show floor and take a closer look at the various production and concept cars that have been unveiled. That also means we have been able to get better photographs of some of our favorite vehicles of the show, like the Acura NSX and Lexus LF-LC concepts, Porsche’s new 911 Carrera Cabriolet , the V8-powered Bentley Continental GT , and Chevrolet’s intriguing Code 130R Concept . We have put them all into a desktop wallpaper gallery, and you can see them all in the high-res gallery above
