For this post, I have chosen to write about the Geneva Motor Show. The Geneve Motor Show takes place in Geneva, Switzerland every year in March. This year is the 83rd year that this show has occurred. This automobile show is one of the largest and most respected motor shows in the entire world. Many auto manufacturers make new announcements at this show. Manufacturers unveil new cars and features to the public. The auto manufacturers announce both production cars as well as many concepts for future cars. Over 100 new cars were shown at the show just this year. One of the biggest announcements from the show this year is the Ferrari La Ferrari. The La Ferrari has a 800hp combustion engine paired with a 163hp electric engine to make the most efficient hypercar possible. This car was developed by Ferrari and used many of their great technologies from their forumla one racing team to make the best car possible. All of these features combine to propel the car from 0-60 mph in around 2.3 seconds, and gives it a top speed of 220 mph. Another car that was unveiled at this show was the Lamborghini Veneno. The Veneno is much more exclusive than the La Ferrari, only 3 are being produced as aposed to the Ferrari's 500. The 3 Venenos are each being made in a different color, red, green, and white, to represent the colors on the Italian Flag. The Veneno is not as powerful as the La Ferrai, having 740 hp, but it is much more of a collector's piece than a car that will actually see time on the track. The next car that was unveiled at this show was the McLaren P1. The P1 also has the electronic KERS system like the La Ferrari; the McLaren has a 727hp combustion engine paired with a 176hp electric engine totaling 903hp; so this car is a close match for the Ferrari. The 0-60 time of this car has not been released yet, but these cars should be a close match for each other. The La Ferrari and the P1 are long awaited successors of the Ferrari Enzo and the McLaren F1, and they are the new super expensive cars that will be envied by this generation of car lovers.
