I don’t envy you guys. Having spent the past few days deliberating over your picks for the various Speedhunters Awards, this next category isn’t going to be any easier.  Demo Car of the Year is a closely fought award that focuses on innovation within the industry. Often ground-breaking, forward-thinking creations, demo cars are more than just vehicles showing off a company’s wares. They are experiments in innovation; concepts that can spark trends and styles on a global scale.
