The Geneva International Motor Show is the first major European expo on the global automotive calendar, and the schedule for this year’s show is packed to the brim with global debuts.
Supercars are the headline act – and there are literal truckloads of uber-fast machines that have rolled under the spotlight at Geneva this week – but there are mainstream motors aplenty too. Forward-looking concepts are also a Geneva staple and the world’s manufacturers didn’t disappoint on that front, with the overwhelming theme being that of electrified performance-oriented powertrains.
Our tireless journalists have walked the huge halls at Geneva’s Palexpo centre and scoured every press release to bring you as much of the Geneva show to your screen as possible. There’s a lot to digest so grab a sizable coffee, sit back and enjoy Wheels’ coverage of the Geneva Motor Show.
