About the Event

The 48th International Motor show opens in Geneva with almost 100 makes of automobiles and a wide range of new models on display, including the new, the traditional and the futuristic.

Launched at the Geneva Motor show in 1978, the Dome Zero designed by Minoru Hayashi was a Japanese concept car that echoed Italdesign or Bertone.


In March 1978 the mark-3 Ford Capri was launched at the Geneva Motor Show. Known internally as Project Carla, the iconic Capri was advertised as 'The Difference Between Driving and Just Motoring' back in 1978.


The Lancia Gamma Spider was a concept car built by Pininfarina in 1978. It was one of 4 cars built on the Lancia Gamma chassis and bodied by Pininfarina. The Spider was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1978 but not put into production. Possibly its greatest claim to fame was the use of the car by Pope John Paul II when he toured North Italy in the early 1980s.
