Geneva Motor Show

The life in automobile industry is marked with some important events such as the Geneva Motor Show. One of the major shows of the year, a lot of new models are introduced in Geneva. And of course, the biggest trend there is "always greener".



Lotus



But the automakers seem to have understand they can't do these cars without a proper style. Surprisingly enough, people do not like the cubic shapes of the early electric/hybrid vehicles. The car you can see on the picture above is a Lotus Evora 414E hybrid. This car is the perfect exemple of what the makers can do: it goes from 0 to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and rejects only 55g/km of CO2. Or in other words: yes you can have some fun with a hybrid car.



Audi



The Audi A1 above is a fully electrical concept. Based on the forthcoming urban car by the German automaker, this concept car proves that even the most prestigious makers are following the green way. We can discuss about the design which I personnally think it is a failure, half way between a Citroën and a Mini. Not the best thing Audi has ever made in my humble opinion.
