Detroit 2008: Sports cars and more green things:

Talk about contrasts.

Next week’s Detroit auto show features fuel-sipping hybrids, zero-emissions fuel cells and a healthy dose of rubber-burning performance cars.

Five Chinese companies will set up shop in Detroit’s Cobo Center to woo potential dealers — and, looking ahead, future buyers.

Green concepts include the Cadillac Provoq fuel-cell crossover and the Chrysler ecoVoyager, a jelly-bean shaped vehicle. On the hybrid side, there’s the Toyota A-BAT pickup concept.

On the other end of the spectrum, there’s the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, with more than 620 hp and more than 595 lb-ft of torque. The Mitsubishi Concept-RA concept hints at the next-generation Eclipse and packs a four-cylinder diesel with 309 lb-ft of torque. And the Mazda Furai concept has a 450-hp rotary engine.

Also on display will be Ford’s most important vehicle: the restyled, re-engineered 2009 F-150 pickup. Dodge will unveil its equally transformed 2009 Ram. Other show highlights include Honda’s next-generation Pilot, Hyundai’s 350-plus-hp Genesis sedan and BMW’s 1-series convertible.

Here is a summary of what’s planned for the show.
