International Motor Show Geneva, Switzerl Images

This time, there were a lot of concept cars, and prototypes at Geneva, but some of them were also shown at the International Motor Show of Frankfurt, Germany, in 2001.

Infidel 1

Infidel 2

Very interesting, and the first time in Europe, an engineering company from India:
Dilip Chhabria Design
The Infidel is based on a Toyota MR2.

Also placed in the basement of the show:
Laraki Fulgura

Coming from Spain, Mazel showed the HS21-GTS race-car.
In 2000, they showed the HS21, a concept of a supersportscar.
In 2001, they presented the K8, a luxury Sedan.

VW W12 world record car

Not made for races, but for world records.
The evolution of the Volkswagen W12 Syncro.

Ital Design Nardò

Ital Design showed the evolution of the world-record car, the Nardò.
It looks quite better, showing this color, isn't it?

VW Phaeton

Also presented by Volkswagen, the Phaeton.

Skoda Tudor

The premiere of the Skoda Tudor.
The car is based on the Skoda Superb, that is based on the VW Passat, so the Tudor is something like a PassatCoupé.
It won't be a production model.

polished Audi A2

Audi showed a polished version of an aluminium A2.
The plastic parts were chromed or replaced by aluminium parts.

Bentley R Continental

Another car of the Volkswagen family.
Bentley showed this R Continental.
You have to show historic cars, if you don't have a history anymore...
Rolls-Royce was missing at Geneva in 2002...

BMW CS1

BMW, coming soon as producer of the new Rolls-Royce, showed the CS1.
It's a convertible concept car, showing design-elements of the coming series 1 car.
We will see...

Maybach

Mercedes showed the all new Maybach.
Well, it was hidden, behind black panes of glass. Super idea!
Instead they showed a model of 1938, a SW38. This car was shown at Geneva before, in 1938...

Chrysler Crossfire
