Shangai Auto Show

The Shanghai auto show and keeping tabs on Fisker Automotive’s drama kept the Autoweek Web team busy this week.
Monday, we focused our coverage on China. Significant reveals included the Icona Vulcano, Ford Escort and Buick Riviera. We posted a huge photo gallery, and a list of car companies you've probably never heard of.
In racing news, the body of an NHRA Funny Car flew into the stands, injuring two fans last weekend. Watch a spectator's video as the car's engine explodes and sends the carbon-fiber body flying into the stands.
On Tuesday, the all-electric Formula E prototype did a donut demo in Los Angeles, and we shared the video. We also reviewed the 2013 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid, and Tuesday evening, we posted spy shots of the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe.
Midweek, we reviewed the 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI, and watched Jaguar's short film "Desire."
Thursday, Audi revealed the TT ultra quattro, a lightweight concept that points to a limited production coupe, and we caught up on Henrik Fisker's congressional hearing. Fisker Automotive's former CEO got lambasted by Republicans, who discussed the start-up’s $200 million loan from the Department of Energy.
Rounding out the week, we spied the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro RS on Friday, and finally found out pricing details on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It turns out Chevy didn't boost the price for the redesign: it will start at $51,995, just $1,400 more than the 2013 model.
Be sure to check back with us this weekend as we cover NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series action from Richmond and NHRA at Royal Purple Raceway near Houston.
