Mercedes AMG officially unveiled its newest 600 bhp plus AMG GT concept car at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland on Tuesday. The new concept car is the brainchild of AMG top executive Tobias Moers and was created to celebrate Mercedes-AMG's 50th anniversary. The AMG concept features a four-door saloon design and a coupe-like roofline. Under the hood, the Mercedes-AMG GT packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with an output of over 600 bhp. The engine is also expected to be paired with AMG's 7-speed transmission. The Mercedes-AMG GT will go head-to-head with a revered list of competition which includes the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, the Porsche Panamera, and the Audi S7. The production version of the car is expected to hit the road in the latter half of 2018.
The $1.6 million Venom F5 hypercar from American carmaker Hennessey made its 'global' debut at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The carmaker claims that the F5 Venom is able to reach a top speed of over 300mph, which would make it the world’s fastest production vehicle. The lightweight chassis and carbon fibre bodywork give the F5 a curb weight of just under 3000 pounds, not the lightest supercar around. It remains to be seen whether the Venom F5 can actually deliver on the 300mph promise.
The McLaren Senna GTR was unveiled to the public at the Geneva International Motor Show in the Palexpo convention centre on Tuesday. Inspired by Formula 1 icon Ayrton Senna, the $1million supercar is made of lightweight carbon fibre and comes in five colours, including the same yellow and green scheme used by Senna. Each Senna GTR takes over 1,000 hours to produce, which contributes to the eye-watering price tag.
Bulgarian supercar manufacturer Sin Cars presented their S1 prototype at the Geneva International Motor Show and it left many people scratching their heads. With non-symmetrical design, unusual driver side tires, and open frame, the S1 looks nothing like what you would expect from a turbocharged supercar, and it's drawn some heavy criticism for its original design. However, some have lauded the S1 for its audacity to move away from the mainstream. The S1 comes as an open-top or coupe and starts $49,900, packed either with an electric, internal combustion or hybrid engine.
As if rolling off of the set of a 1930s gangster movie, this stunning and original auto stood out from other supercars at the 2018 Geneva International Auto Show. Eadon Green's new retro-style coupe, called the Zeclat, was inspired by auto styles popular all the way back in the 1930s. The Zeclat is based on the Corvette C7 grand Sport and aims for a perfect combination of vintage style as well as modern technologies and power.
A Dutch-made flying car called the PAL-V Liberty aims to offer drivers the complete freedom to choose when to hit the road and when to take to the air. It went on display at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The three-wheel vehicle doubles as a gyrocopter, deploying fully-retractable rotors. The PAL V Liberty will use one engine for road driving and a separate one for flying. It's actually certified to fly under the rules of both the EASA in Europe and the FAA in the U.S., and complies with road safety regulations. PAL-V hopes the car will take-off, once it secures full certification in 2019.
