I attended the 2012 Washington Auto Show in D.C. on Jan. 27, the day it was opened to the public. While there, I took photos mostly of the concept cars, prototypes and production automobiles introduced either in late 2011 or in January 2012. I also photographed the 2012 models of older vehicles that I found particularly notable, such as the Lamborghini Aventador, the Ferrari FF, the Maserati Gran Turismo, the Audi R8 Spyder, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Spyder and the Range Rover Evoque. Practically all the concept cars and 2013 prototypes at the show are featured in this gallery, along with a selection of 2012 production vehicles.

I used a handheld Nikon Coolpix P7100 to shoot the photos in this gallery. All were resized for online viewing. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved. Unauthorized use, copying, printing or direct linking is prohibited.
