2016 Geneva Motor Show is currently going on and has brought us some fantastic vehicles. From exotics to hypercars to small hatchbacks to 4x4s, all sorts of vehicles have been revealed there and put up on display at the show. Auto manufacturers from all over the world are there to show off their new cars and future concepts. Although there are a lot of cars at the show, we have selected following ten cars that made some serious splash on their reveal.

Bugatti Chiron

Let’s start with the Chiron, arguably one of the most advanced car today. It is a technology marvel, and everything it holds is exclusive to Bugatti and Chiron only. The car comes with not only an insane price tag but also a whole stake of some amazing stats. For example, at full throttle, Chiron breaths in around 60000 liters of air. Or that is has 37 liters of coolant pumped through it every three seconds. Or the fact that it has the largest clutch fitted to any production car. The fact that car is limited at 260 mph is just one part of the whole puzzle. It is no doubt the highlight of the event.

Lamborghini Centenario

Lamborghini introduced their ultra rare supercar at the auto show. The new car is based on the Aventador chassis but produces 20 more hp from the same but incredible 6.5-liter V12 Lamborghini engine that can take the car all the way up to 217 mph. The car’s all-wheel drive setup can help rocket it to 62 mph from 0 in just 2.8 seconds. The car has more vents and air ducts that an AC company. The price is just around $1.9 million and only 40 of the cars will be made. And unsurprisingly, all of those cars have already been sold.

McLaren Special Operations P1

McLaren P1, an already very impressive car, has gone through £200,000 worth of modifications by the hands of McLaren Special Operations department. McLaren Special Operations has produced this one-off hybrid hypercar that features hand-laid carbon fiber panel with a bespoke ‘Lio Blue’ colored lacquer. One of the most insane modifications done to this car is the 24-carat gold exhaust heat shield fitted to the car. And if you wish to get this same treatment done to your existing McLaren P1, make sure you have US $ 300,000, the price of the McLaren 570S.

Aston Martin DB11

Aston Martin finally revealed its next car in the DB line, the Aston Martin DB11. The previous DB9 was launched somewhere in 2003. The car has the same very recognizable Astin Martin front face.

At the rear, the car comes with dual exhaust, able to push out all the gases produced by Aston Martin’s new twin-turbo V12 motor. The new engine produces 600bhp and 700Nm of torque and can achieve a top speed of 200 mph. The V12 engine is mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox, with Aston Martin’s GT, Sport and Sport+ driving modes. The new car is 20kg lighter than the previous car that has helped the car to do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. The new DB11 will be sold for £154,900.

Rolls-Royce Wraith and Ghost Black Badge

The luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce has come up to the show in nothing but black. The car is so black that even company is calling it the Black Badge.

The new Black Badge edition will be available for both two-door Wraith and the Ghost sedan. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy now comes with a black high-gloss look to match the rest of the darker theme.
