There were tons of really cool cars at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, but a few stood out amongst the rest — especially the incredible selection of concept cars.

This list of five cars give us a glimpse of the future and by the looks of it, it's going to be full of top-speeds and unique lines.

With incredibly sharp lines, a lean profile and a slick look overall, the Honda FCEV is one of the most visually stunning rides shown at Detroit this year. Being fueled by hydrogen not only sounds futuristic, but the FCEV makes it look the part as well.

Looking like the lovechild of a '60s Corvette and an Audi R8, the GT4 Stinger is one of the most captivating concepts released by Kia to date and was chosen to be the Autoblog Editors' Choice of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

How about 240 horsepower, 240 lbs/ft of torque, and a 1.8-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine attached to a six-speed manual transmission all wrapped in this seriously stylish exterior? Nissan has a winner on its hands with their Sports Sedan Concept — which should replace the Maxima as soon as possible.
