Aston Martin is launching the DB11 in Geneva, a super coupe that sends the gray-bearded DB9 to a well-deserved retirement. It is the first GT, apart from Bond's DB10 model from the film Spectre, in more than a decade. Many things happened during this time, including Aston Martin getting a new president and marrying Mercedes, which, as expected, was reflected in the car. All these changes are embodied in many ways by the DB11, the first production Aston Martin with a double-digit number.

The Mercedes-Benz C Cabriolet is the first C-class cabriolet, a kind of "Mini-Me" S-cabriolet, which clearly derives from the limousine or. the coupé derivative of the Mercedes C. It boasts a soft movable canvas roof, and the "bra" can be removed or put back on in less than 20 seconds, up to a speed of 50 km/h. It turned heads for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show, and in the summer it will also be on the roads.
The Lamborghini Centenario is certainly the fastest "centenarian" under the sun, and it is certainly the fastest Lamborghini in history. Only 40 examples of this 770-horsepower beast will be produced, and the jubilee series is already sold out in advance, although as much as 2 million euros are being demanded for the supercar, made to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the company's founder! It was put on display at the Geneva Motor Show.
As Nissan announced in Geneva, where it delivered its vision of intelligent mobility, the honor of the first vehicle in Europe with guided driving mode technology will go to the Qashqai SUV. Their vision aspires to a car without emissions and accidents with the worst possible outcome, because as CEO Carlos Ghosn said, "our (Nissan's, op. p.) vision of intelligent mobility is the basis for guiding customers around the world to a safer and a more sustainable future''.
In Geneva, Fiat presented new members of the Tipo family, a hatchback and a station wagon version, with which they bet on practicality at an affordable price. With the limousine version, Fiat has already hit the nail on the head, as it has already sold 20,000 units in advance, and with its solid equipment and moderate price, the hatchback and station wagon version will certainly convince many buyers.
Gymkhana 8 is the new sequel to the racing hit by Ken Block. This time, he is chasing around Dubai with his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta, where he is followed by the Dubai Police fleet of supercars in the form of Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari F12, Lexus LFA and Lamborghini Aventador.
The Bugatti Chiron is the fastest car in the world, as it can drive down the road at more than 450 km/h (the speed is otherwise electronically limited at 420 km/h), driven by as much as 1,500 horsepower. Only 500 examples will be produced, and its first customer was none other than boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather, for whom the base price of the Bugatti Chiron was 2.4 million euros, a real spit in the sea. The French boutique manufacturer of ultra-fast cars put the supercar on display at the Geneva Motor Show.
For all those with old bones, McLaren produced the McLaren 570GT model, a supercar that surprises with its comfort and spaciousness. The two-seater with a centrally mounted engine is intended for everyday use, so a surprise awaits us at the back, where the trunk is hidden, in which there is a rather large hole, which we are not used to in this type of car. The McLaren 570GT is a supercar that wants to hang out with regular cars.
With the Optima Sportwagon model, Kia fills the last gap in the D vehicle segment (upper middle class). The Koreans will present their dynamic station wagon version of the Optima series at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. It is designed on the technological platform of the current serial sedan, so there are no large dimensional deviations. The Optima Sportswagon five-door wagon has the same length (4855 mm) and width (1860 mm) as the four-door sedan of the same name.
The new Volkswagen Up! compared to its predecessor, it has undergone some cosmetic changes, but it remains largely the same. He only frowned a little.

From now on, it will be powered by a three-cylinder liter turbocharged petrol engine. The Germans will present it to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show.
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard is the safest car in the world. World leaders can be a bit more reassured again, as Mercedes has presented a prestigious armored vehicle in which they will not only feel as comfortable as possible, but also as safe as possible. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard can boast of the highest possible level of protection. It is the first vehicle in the world with a VR10 ballistic protection certificate, which in practice means that both the windows and the body are capable of stopping hardened steel bullets.
This is the new Renault Scenic, the fourth representative of the minivan that we Slovenians have adopted as our own and has been the French car manufacturer's cash cow for 20 years.
