Like any good auto show, the inaugural Qatar Motor Show, beginning January 26, will have its share of concept cars. The offerings will be presented by established manufacturers like Volkswagen and its futuristic-looking XL1 diesel-electric.
But there will will also be concepts from unique carmakers like Autostudi, Bertone and Castagna.
One stunning concept will be the Bentley Continental Flying Star offered by Touring Supperleggera, in conjunction with Bentley and manufactured in Milan.
The limited edition supercar is custom built by the same group that created the Ferrari 166 and the Aston Martin DB 4/5. Two of the rare Bentley models are currently being driven in Europe with a limit of reportedly 19 total units.
