Top 10 standout cars at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show!

14/3/2018

Comments

 
It's been a week since the doors for the Geneva Motor Show opened, and they still are until this Sunday.  The big theme this year is eco-friendliness, but with a twist.  The twist is fun!  With cars like the Volvo Polestar 1 and Honda EV concept cars, it seems like manufacturers have finally realized that people want cars that are eco friendly, but also fun.  There's plenty of other interesting non-EV and non-hybrid cars as well, but 10 have stood out more than others.  Hope you approve of the list.

One of the most anticipated cars from Mercedes Benz AMG has finally shown itself, the SLS AMG Coupe Black Series.

The SLS AMG Coupe Black Series is now the ultimate car AMG has to offer, coming armed with a high-revving 6.2-litre V8 producing 631hp at 7,400 rpm and 635Nm (468 lb ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm.  Thanks to its new high-revving nature, the Black Series produces slightly less torque than in the standard SLS.  However, acceleration from 0-100km/h is faster, getting there in 3.6 seconds and maxing out at 315km/h.

McLaren MP4-12C Spider

This is without question the Ferrari 458 Spider’s arch rival, and with 625hp it is 55hp more powerful than the Italian drop-top.

The McLaren MP4-12C Spider also comes with a retractable hard top, and may be operated at speeds of up to 30km/h (19mph).  The twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 engine sends its power and 600 Nm of torque through a seven-speed SSG dual-clutch transmission, enabling the 1,474kg (DIN weight) Spider to get from 0-62mph in 3.1 sec (the same as the 12C coupe) and reach a top speed of 204mph (329km/h) – 3mph less than its coupe sibling.

Here's the latest addition to the long line of German hotrod sedans, the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG.  AMG enthusiast will be happy to learn that the new E63 gets a slight increase in horsepower, bringing the total to 518bhp while torque is 465lb ft. But according to the good people at autocar.co.uk, the big 6.2l V8 manages to use 12% less fuel, returning a figure of 22.4mpg.

The new E63 benefits from the 7 speed MCT gearbox found in the SL63 AMG, which can change gears in 100 milliseconds and helps propel the vehicle from 0-60mph in 4.5 sec, but has an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.  It will face fierce competition from the likes of the Audi RS6, BMW M5, Jaguar XFR, as well as the Cadillac CTS-V.

Mercedes releases video of its SLS AMG Gullwing.

Unfortunately, the video is of heavily camouflaged prototypes, but you do get an idea of what's going under all that disguise.  You hear what it sounds like and get to see it going a little sideways.
