Geneva Motor Show 2014 Updates

Rolling updates from the Geneva Motor Show 2014 

We’ll be putting up all the rolling updates from the Geneva Motor Show 2014 on this page. Keep checking back!

Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept

Now that’s more like it, Infiniti.

Infiniti Eau Rouge Concept

What you are looking at is Infiniti’s rather good-looking new Q50 sedan. Big deal, you think. Except this one has the engine from a mighty GT-R crammed under the hood. Yes, that’s a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 capable of outputs well north of 550bhp…or 1000bhp, depending on who tunes it. Naturally, there’s all-wheel drive to corral all that mighty juice and a seven-speed dual clutch. Will it make production? Well, is there a Juke-R?

Hyundai Intrado Concept

Compact concept crossover from Hyundai hints at a future production model.

McLaren 650S Spider and Coupe

McLaren previously revealed pictures of the 650S Coupe – which is essentially a modified and tuned version of the MP4-12C but with a McLaren P1 nose on it – and at Geneva they’re showing the Spider version too.

A twin turbo V8 producing 641bhp and 500lb ft of torque giving a 0-100kph time of 3.0 seconds for both and a top speed of 329kph. The two-piece Retractable Hard Top goes down in under 17 seconds whilst on the move up to 30kph.

Volkswagen T-Roc Concept

Geneva sees the world premiere of the T-Roc Concept car from Volkswagen. This one appears to be a crossover coupe off-roader thing with a cool targa top!

It also signals VW’s intent to get even more serious in the SUV and Crossover segment, particularly following the showing of the CrossBlue. This could work here.

Two concepts from Mitsubishi

Concept XR-PHEV is a plug-in hybrid coupe SUV crossover thingy. Could work here actually. Anything to other than the ancient Pajero please Mitsubishi – bring it!

Concept AR is a sort of SUV/MPV – even they’re not sure, because they’ve put that slash in! it was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show. AR stands for Active Runabout and their testing public opinion.

Maserati Alfieri Concept

Maserati has unveiled this sexy concept car at Geneva, the Alfieri sports car is part of the Italian marque’s efforts to massively expand its product line up and sales over the coming years.

This would be a smaller coupe to fit under the Gran Turismo and go up against cars like the Jag F-Type.

Honda Civic Type R Concept

New Honda Civic Type R arrives in 2015 and this striking ‘concept’ reveals pretty much exactly what it looks like.

Dubbed a ‘racing car for the road’ this is claimed to be the most extreme Civic Type R yet. We believe them, because we’ve already driven it! Click here.

Rolls-Royce Ghost facelift

Four years in, and Rolls-Royce has decided to give it a facelift to bring it more in line with the Chrysler 300C – Oops! Did we just say that? Well someone had too.

It’s called the Ghost Series II and in addition to the lights the bumpers have been resculpted with chrome inserts in the front air intakes with cooling to the front brakes – for all of you that like to take it to the track!

2015 Toyota Aygo

Completely new look for the dimunitive Aygo. Very funky, looks rather Italian. We would have guessed this to be a Lancia. 1.0 VVT-i engines. Unlikely to come to the Middle East
