WASHINGTON —聽The Washington Auto Show opens up Friday at the D.C. Convention Center with more than 700 vehicles from 42 manufacturers.

The show runs through Sunday, Feb. 1.

The cars generating the most buzz are a mix of high-tech and high-torque. Several performance models top the 600-horsepower mark, and a fuel cell vehicle that runs on pure hydrogen is about to hit the market. In addition to powering itself, it could even power your home in the event of an outage.

Also on display are three exceptionally rare historic vehicles, which may be worth more than all the rest of the cars there combined.

Here’s a look at some of this year’s standouts.
