පහත දැක්වෙන්නේ මෙවර ප්‍රදර්ශනයේ දී එළිදුටු සුපිරි මෝටර් රථ කිහිපයකි.

The Spyder

Automobili Lamborghini SpA showed its new Huracan Performante Spyder, the open-top version of its superfast Huracan Performante line. The 640-horsepower convertible is 35kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to the addition of carbon-fibre components throughout its body. It will compete against such stars as the Ferrari NV's 488 Pista and the McLaren 675 LT.

The Track Star

Porsche AG showed its new 991 GT3 RS, one of the fastest Porsches ever built. It has 520 horsepower and can get to 100kph in just 3.2 seconds. Top speed is 312kph. The seven-speed PDK paddle-shifting gearbox and lightweight 21-inch (53.34cm) wheels promise to make it as thrilling to drive on the track as on the road. Pricing starts around US$190,000 (RM741,000) .

The Millennial Target

Lexus showed its smallest crossover, the UX, in Geneva this year. It comes in two engine variants, including a hybrid option, and is based on the Toyota Prius platform. (The standard UX 200 model comes will have a 2.0-litre inline-four engine with 168 horsepower.) Pricing has yet to be announced, but since this small sport utility vehicle (SUV) is targeted squarely at millennials, expect it to be under US$40,000 (RM156,000). Production starts later this year.

The Future

The Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA is the brand’s first exercise in what a compact, electric-powered Mercedes might look like. Mercedes remained vague about the futuristic car, which is expected to begin production in 2019 as the EQC.

The Grand Vision

BMW’s M8 Gran Coupe is a concept automobile the brand launched to display its vision for the forthcoming 8-Series line-up. The four-seat, four-door car with golden headlights will be at dealerships by 2020. Its price will probably surpass US$100,000 (RM390,000).

The Hybrid

Aston Marin debuted its 1,100-horsepower Valkyrie AMR last week at the Geneva Motor Show. The million-dollar track car has a hybrid V12 engine and can compete against the likes of the Ferrari FXX K. Top speed is more than 354kph. Aston Martin unveiled it along with the Lagonda Vision Concept sedan, which is all-electric and heralds the relaunch of Aston’s luxury brand.

The Rebirth

The Aston Martin Lagonda Vision Concept aims to revive the historic, heretofore defunct Lagonda brand in fully electric mode. This sedan has four seats that swivel front to back and a steering wheel that moves left to right — or even disappear completely.

The Big Hybrid

This year, Bentley Motors Ltd announced it will produce a hybrid version of its Bentayga SUV, with a power dock by French designer Philippe Starck. It uses two power sources, a 3.0-litre V6 combustion engine and an electric motor, and was introduced alongside Bentley’s new V8 Bentayga variant.

The Lightweight

Ferrari’s new 488 Pista is the lightened and tightened version of its excellent 488 Coupe. It has 710 horsepower on a twin-turbo V8 engine and weighs just around 1,360.78kg, which means it’s exceptionally fast, on par with the Ferrari 812 Superfast and a full 1.5 seconds faster than the regular 488. Much of the weight savings comes from — you guessed it — carbon-fibre components.
