Geneva was riddled with many different types of cars (many of which we have already shown) – but out of all of them there were some that stood out more than others. These concept cars were not just intriguing to look at – but were also unique in their own personal ways. The one concept that stood out the most to us was Pininfarina’s Sintesi.
At the Geneva Motor Show we were shown amazing vehicles of all different sizes and all different kinds. There were even plenty of diesel hybrid concepts to see from several different top automakers that include BMW, Volkswagon, and Mercedes-Benz. We would be surprised if one or all of their cars didn’t make it to production within the next year or two.
Fiat will be debuting two versions of the 500 minicar at the up and coming 2008 Geneva Auto Show. The red version will sport a 135 horsepower 1.4 liter turbo four engine. This version of the minicar is no surprise to us and we have known about it for some time now.
Hybrid cars are great for saving money on gas – but they are more ideal for those who go everywhere in town and don’t make many trips onto the highway. Because they are built with regenerative braking it makes it hard for them to reach the speeds that they need to use while on the highway.
BMW has chosen 2008 as the year of showing off their ‘green’ side at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. One of their most expectant concepts that they will be showing off is the X5 Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. This new concept has been built with a 2.0 liter four cylinder, twin turbo diesel that can be mated to a hybrid motor.
