everybody look through the show floor 2015 geneva motor show thanks for wanting get out here and we're kind of wrapping up our coverage let's give you an overview of the trends the show and as always tell you some of our favorite cars i'm tim stevens I'm editor large your CNN I'm when Cunningham and I'm antuan goodwin and there are certainly some beautiful cars on the show floor I think one of the biggest trends these hyper exotic super expensive track toys ask Martin with the the Vulcan perhaps is the identity of that sort of trend a big massive really expensive not street-legal count outrageous car absolutely beautiful long and low and mean but not really a practical choice for a lot of people similarly we also have a Mercedes AMG gt3 which is the race version of the GT really impressive looking car and obviously designed for the track and then there's also the craziest of the cart near the bridge era just a ridiculous lot more power and empowering without even actually understand how it works the coatings about 1,500 horsepower 1,500 horsepower from a plug-in hybrid system actually I kind of wanted to count all the horsepower we've seen here today from the big cars because it just it's just adding up and adding up it seems like just yesterday that the Veyron came out in your minds with this house horsepower now that's special and this was do any more errands coming to an end now we also blood on Allie la finale the 450th Veyron built here at the show I blood-red beautiful addition is the last one and it's already been sold so you didn't get your bear on yet so are you it's the boat oh yeah they had used at this point suppose we could buy you too baby I also you also saw a couple hot hatches Monsieur for the civic type r in the Focus RS are pretty keen develop Focus RS and wanna know you're keen about the seams fan of the Civic as they are reformed on the fanboy and it's the fastest if ever and on to clint's the fastest hot hatchback of all time so they back those numbers up pretty well end up being a European show they love their concepts not here we love the concepts too late ooh there are a lot here volkswagen has what they call the sport coupe which isn't a great name but but it's a nice-looking little car there's some wild things like the rinspeed booty which is based on a BMW i3 it's supposed to be a robot friendly car it's something weird like that last I saw a autonomous racecar this is from a design company called ed the car's got the torque it's electric no dry although driver can be in it they have this weird thing about the car can assist a drivers it's very unlike worked out but it's a very odd-looking thing they get pretty wild with the concepts here then there's the production-ready infiniti QX 30 is something we're actually in the sea production ready next year so I think what we've seen here is is pretty close to the end result and of course there was the Bentley exp 10 speed 6 which was their big concepts I can parking back to the suite 6 of the 1920s or 30s which back then was at six and a half liter inline 6 they haven't said what's under the hood of this new speed 6 concept other than the fact that it's gonna have some sort of battery hybrid system in there they put lots of copper details on the outside to kind of make me think of batteries i guess but it wouldn't tell me what's under the hood probably because there's nothing under the hood at this point but but who knows i really like the looks of that car and i think that could be the next thanks Bentley Continental because it's just a new direction at forward direction for Bentley that I think they really need at this point yeah absolutely beautiful car and then of course lots of hybrids couple fuel cell cars as well and lots of other wonderful beautiful things on this wonderful expansive show floor behind us like like beautiful shiny candies all across the show you know but one thing we haven't really gotten are a lot of just everyday attainable cars here there's the Toyota Avensis the Auris but not not a lot of just your mid-level everyday cars right for chess Park uh yeah yeah we'll be back for frankfurt a couple months in superhead the levorg which is their kind of stretch WRX wagon which they will bring in the u.s. rather sadly yeah by and large this is a show for the super cars for the designer concepts from the expensive models that's okay it's nice to dream huh expensive is right that's uh that's a key word here superb innings before you complete scheme all right let's go through pick our favorite cars into any 1s or with yours I'm going to go off the beaten path and go other car that most people have probably never heard of before it's going to be the quantum Monte know they're doing an interesting thing first of all it's a small 2+2 sort of shooting brakes ordeal something that I love it's really short wheelbase and it's an electric car that uses in here sort of what's called a nano flow cell of fuel cell technology and what that means is that you fill it up with two different types of ionized liquid and it actually creates electricity on the fly the idea that you can fill it up and about the same amount of time it take you to fill up the gasoline car it's kind of pretty big tank but you'll be able to drive about maybe class 600 miles on a charge and that's kind of blowing anything that we've seen from electric or hydrogen cars out of the water and there's going to be no church they say they're going to make one this year they've already got two other models that they're working on as well so I mean I don't know how it works but say it's gonna be on the road wait I really like the Koenigsegg Agera a ridge era that you mentioned earlier this is this plug-in hybrid and you know sure it's got massive horsepower 59 horsepower it's got different drive modes but what I really like about this car is it's beautiful I think it's the best looking thing tone exec is that must have kind of says cars are sort of race cars for the road with the big bubble cockpit and spoilers in all this this is Albert jerez more like a 1960s roadster nice long body twin humps behind the cabin for aerodynamics just a really good look at guard actually looks comfortable girl is good for your super crusher sure you've got 1,500 horsepower smearing your faces and abused comfortable you can as far as me i love the speed 6 look at that Bentley i think is amazing but i'm probably gonna have to go in the 488 GTB in the prior the 458 replacement and keep calling the GTO for whatever reason but at this is a twin-turbo v8 I'm very curious to see how it drives but I think it looks great in the 458 amazing car so more power with turbos in a Porsche that's an urban turbos in a Ferrari that's an interesting it is a thing that he's certainly done before and the BF series cars back in the back mid 90s and i don't think it was complaining about those so i think i think it will be just fine but certainly there's some nervous times monks for our fantasy exactly how much ink dries and exhibition or any party talks from geneva before we wrap things up i'm going to go up pizza for time to me out of every time I see that Parker that it goes dead in it hard to get into one of the beyond and I just could soon the NSX from the first time which is quite nice when the eruv interpreted by the way in case when I was wondering I'm going to sit in one of these custom cars here that you don't really see anywhere else you get from these tuner shops that puts a matte black paint job on something and puts big comfortable seats in and weird wheels it might start life as a you know a land rover defender but now it looks completely different so basically to come on itself dollars are we going to wrap things up here in Geneva I think our next show will be the new york auto show the end of march and i'm freaking early April slowly back on there and I'll be with your coverage from Geneva and then
