With the 911 GT3 RS, Porsche has completely blurred the line between racing car and road car, which it has achieved through a combination of power, improved aerodynamics and a reduction in weight, thus walking the fine line of legal but still usable on public roads. It was presented at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, where it moved from the Nürburgring track, where it set Porsche's best time of 7 minutes 29 seconds.
If nature could choose, then it would certainly choose the emission-free BMW i3, and its wild side the hybrid sports car BMW i8. Both BMW i vehicles were presented for the first time in Slovenia at the Crystal Palace in BTC, where the first BMW i pop-up showroom was opened here.
The Toyota Yaris is a long-standing fixture of the B-segment and also one of the best-selling and most desirable models, especially among the fairer sex. The latest generation has recently undergone a cosmetic facelift, giving it a distinctive X-shaped bonnet and a more colorful cabin and better materials inside. The price also surprises, as it is discounted, even among the cheapest in its class.
After some "teaser" photos, Nissan has published and presented a study of a modern city car that suggests what the next generation of the nissan micre could look like. The Nissan sway brings an advanced pillar-less design and door-to-door opening. It is characterized by sharp lines, an inflated hood, sporty bumpers and a rear finish in the form of two large trapezoidal exhaust "trumpets".
The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse La Finale is the last, the 450th example of its kind, as it retires the Veyron. This closes a special chapter in the history of motoring, which began 10 years ago and in which the Bugatti Veyron was synonymous with prestige, technical perfection, and for a long time even Usain Bolt was among the super sports cars, i.e. the fastest in the world. The last example, which is on display at the Geneva Motor Show and is a mirror image of the first model, the Veyron EB 16.4, thus concludes its life cycle.
At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the British Rolls-Royce presented a unique Phantom called Serenity, whose interior was covered in silk, smoked cherry wood and bamboo. In doing so, it paid homage to its rich history in which important people, from those with blue blood to world leaders, have chosen Rolls-Royce as their means of transport. It was from these noble circles that the in-house design team led by Chief Designer, Giles Taylor, also drew inspiration for the design.
Alongside the exclusive Vulcan racing car, Aston Martin has placed a study of the GT car of the future - the Aston Martin DBX, with which they want to redefine the framework of this segment.

The Swedes unveiled the Koenigsegg Regera hypercar at the Geneva Motor Show, which stands out from the supercars in terms of performance, drive, and price. Slovenians also participated in the development, as Akrapovič took care of the ultimate exhaust. Under the line, the Regera is capable of 1,822 hp and speeds of over 400 km/h, and the acceleration to 100 km/h should take about as long as it takes us to blink.
At the biggest spring automotive event in Geneva, Bentley made the fans of this renowned brand drool. Namely, he revealed the study of the new generation GT coupe, which is still in the study phase, but should, like the launch date, be very close to serial production. When that will be is still shrouded in mystery, but there is a lot of talk about the drivetrain, which is supposed to be a hybrid for the first time in the brand's history.
Kia presented its Sportspace concept in flesh and blood at the Geneva Motor Show. It is a sport-oriented sedan that is made for long drives and weekend trips. It offers plenty of comfort, fast and stress-free travel, and all of it is packaged in an attractive design that will make drivers and passengers in other cars jealous already in a year and a half, when it rolls out of the factories.
For its latest Aventador LP 750-4 model, Lamborghini revived the SuperVeloce name, which otherwise belongs to a series of vehicles that push the limits of what is possible. In this regard, the Aventador LP 750-4 fully deserves this "rank". It is the fastest Lamborghini ever to leave the factory of this Italian sports car manufacturer, which, in addition to the most powerful engine (a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12), also has a bunch of other superlatives.
