Geneva Motor Show 2008
Part 1: A-F
Ital Design Bizzarrini Manta 1968 |
Peugeot 308RCZ |
Zagato Bentley GTZ |
Abarth 500
The revived Fiat 500
is now available in the sporty Abarth-version,
so this little car is powered by a 135hp-engine. Wow!
Artega GT
Another step closer to get into production.
It's amazing that a new sportscar-manufacturer is
born!
Bentley Brooklands
Perhaps the ultimate luxury-coupe of today.
O.K., Rolls-Royce just started the production of the
Phantom Coupe, but the Bentley has style, and doesn't look like a tank!
Bitter Vero
Erich Bitter is riding, again.
The Holden-based Vero
has good chances to make it.
On display there were two cars, another one is the
personal car of Mr. Bitter, and several more are under construction.
BMW X6 Active Hybrid
Soon the X6 will go into production, at Geneva there
was a Hybrid on display.
Bugatti EB112 by Italdesign
Presented in 1993, this car doesn't look like a 15
year old design.
It was shown again, because Ital
Design celebrated the 40th anniversary.
Bugatti Veyron Hermes
A limited special, based on the "standard" Veyron.
Of course, it's more expensive than the normal one...
BYD F1
Another manufacturer from China wants to sell his
cars in Europe.
Well, the Chinese can learn fast, and BYD has to learn
a lot...,
the presentation of the cars was not very professional,
and the people weren't able to answer any questions!
Cadillac CTS Coupé
Still a concept, showing the typical style of Cadillac,
that started with the 1999 Evoq.
Carlsson Aigner CK65 RS Eau Rouge
Based on a Mercedes CL-class,
the Eau Rouge is a very limited custom-car.
Carlsson modifies the drivetrain, and Aigner is responsible
for the interior.
Only 10 cars will be built.
The cars show a very interesting two-tone paint-job!
Citroën Nemo
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
The new ZR1 will be more powerful than ever.
The only American sportscar will get more and more
attention in Europe, that's for sure...
Chrysler ecoVoyager
This electric car, showing a one-box-design will have
an additional fuel-cell.
Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona / Ferrari 612 Scaglietti "One
To One"
Ferrari celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Daytona.
The Scaglietti is now available in a personalized
version, called "one to one".
Fioravanti Vola
The Vola is a quite old concept car, orginally presented
back in 2001.
The roof system got later into production for the
Ferrari
575 Superamerica.
Fioravanti Hidra
The Hidra is a restyled 2007 Thalia, with a more conventional
design.
Fisker Karma
The Karma has nothing to do with the restyled models
of BMW or Mercedes.
It is one of the "eco"-hybrids, coming with a solar-roof,
production will start in late 2009.
At least, that's the plan..., and the car looks great!
Ford Fiesta
The all-new Fiesta, at the 2007
International Motor Show of Frankfurt it still was a concept, named
Verve.
Fornasari RR600
Slightly modified the RR600
showed up at Geneva, after being there, back in 2003.
It's a low-production luxury-4WD
that was originally designed to take part in rallye-competitions.
For 2008, the company plans a four door version, a
convertible, and a very interesting looking yacht-like designed version.
The cars are powered by a 6.0-litre
V8, with 600hp, but there is also a
RR650
available, with (yes, you guessed right)
650hp.
