From Italian car makers to the Americans overseas, this motor show does not fall short of its potential to attract those that matter in the auto industry. Since its inception the Geneva Motor Show has been the exhibition ground for almost all models in the world that come to meet their present and future customers. Pride to the organizers it is the only automotive event in Europe of its magnitude, able to attract the elite segments in the auto industry. The brilliant concept of them all about the Geneva show is its ability to play neutral. This rare advantage came about from the fact that it lacks an automotive industry of its own hence making it attractive to unbiased ‘judgments’.This year’s show (2012) hosted its usual collection of the motor industry as a whole with a blend of production cars, concepts, designs and much more.
The Bentley EXP 9 F
The Lamborghini Aventandor j
The Lamborghini Aventador j also made it to a spot in the Geneva Auto show designed as a speedster car brand of Lamborghini. The (J) alphabet signifies it’s mark of a race car by Lamborghini. The Aventador J breaks even from other Lamborghini cars by its unique ‘alien – like’ features according to Edmunds.com , vicious acceleration, sublime steering, an unmatched presence and more spacious cabin than its predecessor. It certainly made it to the event much to its unique features but also for the mere fact that it was the first and the last to be built.V12 Zagato
The Ashton Martin family didn’t fall back from the pack with their magnificent V12 Zagato with a starting price tag of $ 525000. This launch came at a time when the company is driving inspiration from the V 12 vantage point which they hope will make a revolution to their vision for the next fifty years.Audi 3
In the hatchback category the Audi family represented the segment with unveiling of the Audi A3 (A more efficient version of the company’s small three-door car.) Audi was innovative in its development of efficiency technologies (such as direct injection, thermal management and fuel shutoff to discourage fuel thirst) for its three engine variants. Efficiency is also enhanced by the reduction of 176 pounds (about 80 Kilograms) of chassis weight that makes it lighter.Toyota launched its ambitious plan to size down its hybrid technology to the middle market segment. It saved a spot in the Geneva Auto show by introducing a full-hybrid, ultra-light weight car that has used conventional material for its production. This translates to a reduction in its cost at market price and an economically viable concept since it also achieves low emissions.Agera model- 2013 Koenigsegg
The updated Agera model- 2013 Koenigsegg debuted at the Geneva Motor Show with some exquisite features. The Agera R will feature the world’s first hollow, a one piece carbon fiber wheel that saves the wheel 44 pounds (19 kilograms) of unshaped mass and a metal part reserved only for the tire valve. These innovative technologies including the nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves were cause for Agera’s spot in Switzerland.Bugatti Veryon
The reason for Bugatti Veryon’s inclusion in the Geneva Motor show was Bugatti’s CEO Wolfgang Durheimer’s team’s ability to redefine the boundaries of the greatest Bugatti roadster. The Grand sport vitesse received a performance boost by inclusion of greater force-induction from its enlarged quad turbos and an extra punch from its stiffened chassis.Ferrari F12
A show stopper known for glamor at its best, the Ferrari F12 made a worthy presence in Switzerland as a suitable successor to its predecessor the 599. Despite its conservative style approach tracing its bloodline back to the 275 and 365 brands, whose brands were held with utmost respect,the Ferrari F12 commands respect in being fuel economical (in its category) while running on a V12 engine.Part of its name (Megapixel) speaks volumes of its size - a very small car that was designed for the future and an improvement from the failed Tata Nano project. It represents a concept the Indian conglomerate Tata is pushing to achieve – a car designed for the future. If it does go to production the emerging markets should be a target given it suitability as a city car and the markets’ ever sprouting cities.
