About the Event
In the spring of 1982, the ‘Salon international de l’auto de Genève’ was, for the first time, held not in the elegant old exhibition hall in the center of Geneva, but in the newly opened Palexpo complex near Cointrin Airport. Mercedes showed its new SEC models and Porsche returned to the world of open-topped sports cars with the 911 SC Cabriolet; the real eye-catcher, however, was on Lamborghini’s stand, where the Italians presented a new and more powerful evolution of their outrageously styled Countach: the LP500S
The LP500 S debuted in Geneva in March 1982 with Bertone bodywork carrying over the higher ride height of the third-series LP400 S as well as the predecessor’s molded fiberglass fender arches and chin spoiler.
In response to growing demand for roadsters in the European market, the Pininfarina Spidereuropa made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1982, offering a European spin on the U.S.-style Fiat Spider.
