Last winter, the Geneva Auto Show wrapped up and we got to see a glimpse of what the vehicles of tomorrow will look like. Of course, there were some exciting announcements and dramatic reveals. If you’re looking to catch up on the latest Geneva Auto Show news, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the most exciting models announced at the show.
Aston Martin Vanquish – Concept Car
Imagine a car with such smooth curves that light reflects off it in such a way that the car almost blends in with its surroundings. Of course, not in such a way where someone couldn’t see it, but enough to make you say “wow!” Well, Aston Martin pictured it and presented the concept car at this year’s convention.
This Vanquish supercar features a mid-engine V-6, but no horsepower or torque information has been released yet; however, based on Aston Martin’s statements, they’ll be aiming for speeds of 200 mph or more.
Bugatti Voiture Noire
Another showstopper at the Geneva Auto Show was the Bugatti Voiture Noire, a custom-built hypercar with a price tag of over 12 million dollars. It has that classic Bugatti look, with a pitch black paint job and matching accents. Blink and you might miss it. If you’ve ever wanted to own the batmobile, this might be the next best thing. Who are we kidding? It’s probably a step up from the batmobile.
Some specs have been released for the head-turning Bugatti Voiture Noire. It includes an eight-liter W16 engine with an unreal output of 1480 bhp and 1180 pound-feet of torque. Unfortunately, no 0-60 times have been released yet.
Audi Q4 e-Tron
If the last two vehicles on our list were a bit out of your price range, the Audio Q4 electronic crossover-style SUV may land a little closer to home. Audi announced that is was entering the electric vehicle market with an all-new look. While it won’t be the most affordable electric vehicle on the market, but it was announced to be under $100,000.
McLaren Grand Tourer
While this car wasn’t featured at the show specifically, there was a lot of talk about it. The CEO of McClaren mentioned they were looking to break new ground in the class and bring a lot of new technology to the table. Their goal with this release is to make it the fastest and most agile GT on the market.
Other Noteworthy Models
As you can expect, there were plenty of models not mentioned in the list above. Honorable mentions include the BMW X7, and it was also announced that the 7 series would be undergoing some big changes. The Toyata brought it’s redefined Supra to the auto show to help market its release. Lastly, Suburu was there with its new e-boxer hybrid electric vehicle. There was a lot to take in at this year’s Geneva Auto Show. However, beyond the veil of incredible supercars and luxury models, one thing was vividly clear. Electric and hybrid vehicles are just getting started, and we’re in for a big jump in available options in the coming years.
