It comes as little surprise that the most popular car video on AutoGuide’s YouTube channel this week was our first look at the BMW M4 Concept.

While not the most exciting thing Nissan had to offer at its 360 Event brand experience event taking place this week in Southern California, the Japanese automaker did choose to bring along its fleet of commercial vehicles with more than a few odd surprises.

Concept cars easily some of the most exciting vehicles, packing next-generation technology and styling that may (or may not) ever see production.

This past week at the Nissan 360 event in Southern California Nissan brought out over 130 different cars for journalists to test out, including a list of those we’ll never see sold on our shores.

Vehicles like the GT-R and 370Z are powerful products designed for car enthusiasts. They’re favorites here at the Nissan 360 event in Southern California, where journalists from around the world are being given the chance experience all things Nissan, including the opportunity to drive up to 130 different cars.

But not everyone can afford something so nice. Simple transportation is critically important, especially in emerging markets. And it doesn’t get much more basic than the new 2014 Datsun Go.

It’s not every day you get to sit inside a concept car, and driving one is an even rarer occurrence since these special vehicles are typically one-offs that are more precious than gold to automakers. Against the odds AutoGuide got a very brief test drive of the beautiful Infiniti Emerg-E show car at the Nissan 360 media event in Southern California.

Believe it or not this wild-looking machine is not the product of some secret military program. It may look like a stealth fighter but it’s actually built for the road. This is the Lamborghini Aventador 50th Anniversario Roadster.

Few vehicles have the majesty to rival an Italian supercar. Magnificent machines graced with prancing ponies or raging bulls are some of the most sought-after automobiles in the world. But you don’t necessarily have to be a “one-percenter” to drive something with the same passion.
