Geneva International Motor Show 2007

About the Event

The Geneva Auto Show is the first major European auto show of the year and makes full use out of that position. For the 77th edition of the show, over 250 exhibitors from all over the world will be occupying all 828,000 square feet of the Geneva Palexpo's exhibition space while vying for the attention of the expected 700,000-plus show visitors from all over the world.

Over 80 vehicles will be making a world or European premiere during the show's two press days. Notable debuts include the Audi A5, Mercedes-Benz C-class, Volvo V70, and Maserati GranTurismo. A number of boutique makers and coachbuilders are planning on bringing their latest creations to Geneva as well, including Zagato, Giugiaro, Bertone, and Donkervoort.

Clearly a response to Ferrari's F430 Challenge Stradale, the Gallardo Superleggera sheds some 220 pounds through the use of carbon fiber body panels and a spartan interior reminiscent of the Porsche 911 GT2.

A clear evolution of the last Continental R coupe, the Bentley Brooklands pays homage to all Bentley coupes that have gone before it. The low roofline combined with the classic mesh grille, dual headlamps, and coke bottle-shaped rear fenders all hint at Bentleys past while still appearing modern and distinctively un-retro.
