Today’s four-wheel fantasies are informed by a mash-up of data, focus groups, profits and regulations.

Rumors are swirling that the German automaker is thinking about selling the A6 Allroad in the US again.

The fact that the RS 6 Avant has 600 hp and a top speed of 189 mph is just the beginning.

From Porsche’s first all-electric offering to Lamborghini’s hybrid hypercar, here are the stars of this year’s exhibition in Germany.

With four beyond-chunky tires holding up its glass-lined passenger bubble, the AI:Trail Quattro looks more suited to the surface of a far-off planet than a highway.

Clock more than a 200 miles on a single charge.

The futuristic off-roader will debut next month.

The wagon packs a robust twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine, which, in conjunction with a 48-volt hybrid system, is capable of churning out 591 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque.

Take that, Tesla.
