Hybrid cars and a bespoke one-off supercar were the stars of the Swiss show
The annual Geneva Motor Show is here again, with celebrated car manufacturers presenting new concepts and innovations for the years ahead. This year, an abundance of hybrid cars seem to point towards an electric future, while supercars and hypercars continue to challenge their limits. See the announcements that got us excited.
1. Lamborghini reveals the Aventador SVJ Roadster
The Aventador SVJ was officially unveiled in the summer of 2018 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elégance in the US. This new roadster version is fitted with the same 770 horsepower V12 engine, and offers the same top-level performance, namely acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 2.9s, a braking distance of 100 km/h to 0 in only 31m and a top speed of 350 km/h.
With its lightweight materials (aluminium and carbon fibre) and its various features taken from the motor racing world, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster is a powerful beast adapted for the road.
Only 800 units of this new convertible will be produced. It is expected to be available this summer at a pre-tax price of €387,007.
Lamborghini's stand at the Geneva Motor Show will also feature its new Huracan EVO Spyder.
