The Volkswagen group got a head start on the madness that is Geneva by showing off a selection of its wares yesterday. Leading the way for the Peoples’ Car brand — in more ways than one — is this, the I.D. Vizzion concept.
It’s one of the motor industry’s most significant events. The annual, ten-day Geneva International Motor Show is a showcase for major manufacturers’ production cars for the next two years.
Since its launch last year, there’s been a lot of keyboard time spent on discussing the McLaren Senna‘s looks. It’s probably not a reach to say few journalists and commentators think it’s a bit boring.
When Lister unveiled its new Thunder earlier this year, there wasn’t as much excitement as you’d expect. As “just” a 666hp Jaguar F-Type, it wasn’t the company resurrection many may have hoped for. Even with a 208mph top speed.
Today is Family Day here in Canada. The holiday weekend has traditionally pulled double-duty as the start of the Canadian International AutoShow, filling the two Metro Convention Centre buildings in downtown Toronto.
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but there’s a new, expensive, exclusive supercar in town. It comes from a manufacturer you’ve never heard of, and has otherworldly performance figures. Oh, and it’s electric.
Mercedes is plotting quite the Geneva Motor Show this year. It’s recently revealed it will debut new halo models in the G-Class and S-Class ranges at the show in March. Apparently that 1,200hp duo isn’t enough for the brand.
Toyota’s essentially confirmed its worst-kept secret. The Supra is returning, and it’ll be showing up in racing concept form next month at the Geneva Motor Show.
Late last year, McLaren revealed its latest stunning creation. The division of opinion over its looks were as nothing compared to the reaction when McLaren announced its name: Senna.
These days it seems like German car companies just can’t keep a lid on the next big thing. If it’s not a new BMW sneaking out unintended, it’s a halo Porsche.
