Geneva International Motor Show 2018

My friend and car photographer Igor Sinitsin (site & facebook) attended the infamous Geneva International Motor Show for another year and shared his pictures (2017 gallery here) with me. I thought it will be very cool to show some glamorous hypercars once in a while. Here’s what he has to say:

Geneva International Motor Show has become a destination for my annual pilgrimage. Despite the crowds, booked out hotels, lines everywhere, and a 6 hour drive away from where I live, this event always offers something that others can not match. Being a truly boutique exhibition, it is THE place to see all unique concepts, one-offs, special editions and brand you would never see on the road otherwise. RUF, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, Italdesign, Sbarro – and the list can go on and on. For more „regular“ brands, Geneva also serves as platform to showcase their future visions, present the concepts and bring craziest and weirdest ideas to the judgment of the press and the general public.

This year was not any different. My personal highlights were a Zenvo with strange tilting rear wing, a new custom-build Lancia Stratos, the revived Toyota Supra, and a bespoke Pagani Zonda Barchetta. Of course, not everything in Geneva amazed me in a good way – I am still not sold on the looks of McLaren Senna, and the Mansory-tuned Bugatti Veyron birdshit edition made of processed carbon fiber can be called „weird“ at best.
A true unexpected surprise for me was a small stand called „Le Retour De Futur“. The classic car presented there celebrated the concept visions of the future from the past years, and included truly stunning creations such as Maserati Birdcage and a Bizzarini concept.
