Chris Harris video: Geneva motor show and more

Chris attempts a bit of traditional motor show coverage like they did in the old days...

---

Chris geeks out over some of the highlights at this week's Geneva show. But it's not all fighting off sharp-elbowed hacks. He does some driving too...

Enjoy the vid!

Has Chris been sheding the pounds?

[Mitch2.0]

He's had to, didn't you hear - the new GT3 is heavier!

very good...

[W00DY]

The new Lamborghini is ridiculous.


But that's a good thing.

[Rawwr]

Heh, comments on the Veneno did make me snigger a little.

[Freakuk]

It's a tough life innit

[Furyblade_Lee]

That Mercedes looks like a mini cab to me.

The Ferrari looks way too fussy.

The Alfa headlights are a joke surely? How can they get that soooo wrong??????

But i'd gladly have any of them on my drive!



But the McLaren looks sexy a f***. Want.

Golf looks depressingly boring from every angle except front head on.

[djglover]

Another AMG 63...??!

[CHIEF]

0-186 in 15 seconds. Holy fking st

[Mitch2.0]

The LaFerrari reminds me of the restaurant in Mickey Blue Eyes - The La Trattoria.

Also, they appear to have stolen some wheels from a Porsche Carrera GT and put Fezza badges in the middle? I'm not a fan, looks a bit to arrow like, too pointy, maybe it'll grow; the Enzo looked too mental when it came out but now looks good.

My first car managed 0-62 in about 15 seconds. Holy fking st indeed.

[405dogvan]

Just using finger maths, for the Ferrari to be 2 seconds quicker to 186 than the McLaren, it has to weigh about the same as the larger of my 2 Cocker Spaniels...

Chris probably sussed it tho - it's a 186mph that Ferrari already took your car to and then moved it a bit?

[ARobinson]

Where in Spain was the E63 piece filmed? Road trip there this summer and would like some ideas for mountainous areas to peruse!

Last went to the motor show at earls court in the mid 90s with my father, haven't been to interested in looking at cars that I can't afford since...

[Ianv12]

The phrase 'cocking about' is not used often enough, as he describes Lamborghini

[Dr Boxcat]

nice vid Monkey. do make me chuckle.

[Wills2]

Very enjoyable, he does look to have been on a salad diet.

Really good review of the show and the honesty is very refreshing.

[highway]

Am I alone in really not liking the Ferrari? Looks heavy in the middle. Mac far more modern looking

[peterattheboro]

Chris is a fantastic journalist but I'm becoming very bored of him shredding the tyres of everything he steps in to.

Loved the motor show stuff but I'm sorry I had to skip through most of the E63 bit.

Saying that I'll probably thoroughly enjoy him sliding a GT3 around a racetrack

[smilo996]

Another underwhelming Porka. 7.30 around the ring. The 2009 std GTR is quicker than that. Chris's myopia returns as usual.

He's right about Lambo but that car really is back to Lambo at its most bonkers.

Amg63 - yawn

4c cool but those lights. Interesting idea though. All carbon chassis on a 50K car.

Ferrari apart from the name brilliant as they now all seem to be. Ferrari back at the top of its game.
