I took this photo of an unpainted Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport and its 8-liter W16 engine at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with my father’s old Minolta XD-7 camera on Kodak’s T-MAX P3200 film, a black and white negative developed for extreme low light. A contemporary motor show with its profusion of high-power spot lights…
Bored of the deluge of perfect photographs pouring out of motor shows? We’ve taken some old and strange film cameras to Geneva to show you another side of cars. Well, of supercars anyway.
Those of you with keen eyesight may have noticed a BMW key dangling from the ignition of the naked Morgan Aero Supersports in Geneva last week. We have asked a Morgan representative to explain.
What’s even sadder than the cynical deluge of hybrid supercars is that the only event from last week's Geneva Motor Show covered by the mainstream non-automotive press was Justin Timberlake introducing the Audi A1 at a press conference.
Now this is how it's done. The Touring Superleggera A8GCS Berlinetta is a Maserati Gran Turismo rebodied with classic GT proportions and shapes. The result is classically beautiful, like a 1950s Maserati re-interpreted with 21st century technology.
Are hybrid supercars a lie? Or, instead, the next step in motoring evolution? We have channeled the spirit of America’s favorite foulmouthed cartoon character into our European intern to explain their presence at the Geneva Motor Show (NSFW).
Want to know what's going on underneath the Porsche 918 Spyder's taut skin? EVO's Chris Harris asks Porsche's vice president of R&D to explain it. Did you know it can travel up to 15 miles on electricity alone?
Despite our initial beliefs, not all Morgans are made of wood. The $187,000 Aero Supersports, shown in Geneva in all its naked beauty, is all metal, BMW and sidepipes. What it lacks is glass: champagne flutes, to be exact.
Have you ever seen a Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster tucked gently away for the night? Two ladies at the Pagani booth performed the procedure for Cinque #3 and we have video.
Fifty-six years after he won the last Formula One Grand Prix held in Switzerland, the Maestro is applying a dab of oppo yet again at the Geneva Motor Show.
Geneva's proximity to Paris and Milan lends it the ability to attract the most classically beautiful booth professionals, picking and choosing them from the world of high-fashion. There's a worrying trend this year though: babes in t-shirts.
Worried that buying a Rolls Royce Ghost won't adequately telegraph the vastness of your narcotics empire to peasants and easily-bribed government officials alike? Then maybe the gold-varnished Mansory version is more your thing. Also, it has 720 HP.
Want to go from 0-to-60 in 3.3 seconds and drive top-down at 196 MPH? Then you better display a significant case of male pattern baldness, because they won't sell you a 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet without it.
The Bertone Pandion bears more than a passing resemblance to the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept, but then holy crap, the doors open and everything changes. Still, it's saving the best trick 'til you get up close.
What do Trabis and Hitler have in common apart from Godwin’s Law and the lack of steel after World War II due to heavy Wehrmacht usage?
This grotesque mish-mash of automotive design themes is the Sbarro Autobau — a "tribute" to Swiss racing driver Fredy Lienhard. We assume the designer hates him because this is truly the ugliest car we've ever seen.
At first glance, BMW’s vast stand is nothing but a sea of compulsory hybrids and Herr Reithofer giving the thumbs up. But a dark doorway beckons into M-land.
Nobody does iterations like Porsche. A simple, lightweight take on the Boxster with a camping tent on top is love at first sight yet again.
With wings, added lightness and sure-footed handling, what appears to be a pigeon on the Geneva show floor is most likely a secret Lotus prototype on the loose.
