Geneva Motor Show 2016

What if you had to choose just five events to slot into your automotive bucket list? The question has been playing on our minds here at New Atlas, so we've put together five of our favorite celebrations of motoring passion.

China's Techrules is hell-bent on putting turbines into road-going vehicles. Its first concepts use an ultra-potent, turbine-charged series hybrid powertrain, promising supercar levels of performance and Prius-like fuel economy.

After some corporate reshuffling last year, Gumpert was rebranded as Apollo Automobil. The new brand is holding its coming out party at the Geneva Motor Show, revealing the all-new Arrow, a sharply styled supercar that combines (Gumpert) Apollo levels of performance with an all-new look.

Italdesign Giugiaro has had a very nice string of Geneva show cars – last year's GEA autonomous concept, 2014's Clipper electric MPV, and 2013's Parcour off-road sports coupe. This year, it adds the GTZero, a modular, all-electric grand tourer packed with innovation.

Whether we're talking supercars or concept cars, "cars" is the operative word at this year's Geneva Motor Show, with larger vehicles like trucks and vans playing more of a supporting role at the show. But that doesn't mean they aren't making their presence known.

The big stars of this year's Geneva Motor Show are clearly the supercars, but concept cars are proving a memorable supporting cast - from 4x4 adventure minivans, to classically influenced roadsters, to hydrogen-powered track cars.

Pininfarina, the Italian design and engineering firm often employed by the likes of Ferrari and Maserati to sketch and build their prototypes, has debuted its own radical hydrogen-fuel cell supercar concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

The 2016 Geneva Motor Show's long debut list includes established marques like "Bugatti," "Koenigsegg," "Pagani" and "Lamborghini" and newer players like "Arash," "Rimac" and "Techrules." It all adds up to one of the most stunning displays of sports cars you'll ever see.​

Rimac has put together the most electrifying booth in Geneva, quite literally speaking. Next to the 1,088-hp Concept One supercar is the even faster, more powerful Concept S, the One's "evil twin," along with a matching, unleashed version of the Greyp G12S electric bike.

There have been a number of versions of KTM's X-Bow since the first in 2008, including the 2013 GT and the current GT4. A newly-announced Black Edition, though, is surely the most seductive and exclusive of them all, forged, as it is, entirely in black carbon fiber and with only five being produced.

Bentley is proudly showing quadruplets ​at this year's Geneva Motor Show​​. All four cars make up the Mulsanne family, the flagship of the British luxury make's line. The redesigned​ Mulsanne includes two models not seen before, an extended wheelbase option and an ultra-luxurious limousine.

Goodyear has taken the wraps off two concept tires designed for the autonomous cars of tomorrow – including a spherical tire that allow cars to drive sideways and one that can sense road conditions and adapt to them.​
