While oodles of fresh metal is sitting gently on the floors of the Detroit Motor Show, there are a few cool cars parked up at the Brussels Show, you know - the auto show world's best kept secret.
First and foremost was the Dacia Duster Pikes Peak - a hardcore racing version of Dacia's budget SUV. It is, as the picture above will surely show you, bat feaces mental.
It's much, much lower than the standard car and has been entered into the 'No Limits' category of the Pikes Peak challenge. Its massive 850 bhp comes from a heavily tinkered with Nissan GT-R engine and frankly we're glad such lunacy exists. Much like we enjoy Charlie Sheen's continued existence.
Another pleasant surprise found its form in the facelifted Renaultsport Twingo 133. In the hue presented in Brussels it looks as though a Renaultsport Megane, a boggo Twingo and a bee got a little intimate on Renault's factory floor. It's a rather good looking little thing, though we fear we won't see any on the roads...
Finally we spotted the least likely combo of matte black wrap and car - this Citroen C5. Don't get us wrong, in dark grey or shiny metallic black it looks very sharp indeed. In this matte colour scheme it does look somewhat reminiscent of a shoe.
