And they say the V12 Vantage has their most powerful engine ????

it's actually their least powerful v12 !!! Db9, vanquish & rapide are all more powerful (well db9 has same power but more torque)

The best time to go to the show is on a week-day evening. It gets much quieter after about 6:00.

Last year I went mid-week in the day with my young son and managed to walk onto all the stands we wanted to go (AM, Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati.....). Tell them you've just been looking at their competitor's stand and have a purpose (for us it was looking at a GT which the young lad could fit in the back). You just need to persuade them your a real-potential customer.

This year we've got a bunch of stand-invites due to going last year and I'm off with a Geneva-based mate one evening next week.

Finally some interesting news !!!

CC100 sounds fab !

And two new models to be revealed at Pebble Beach......

[speech]

I know I'm biased but although Aston may not have any major model launches at Geneva, the other offerings leave me cold. The new Lambo's styling is too fussy, and the LaFerrari is downright ugly

The centenary edition Vanq on the other hand, mmmm!

Btw I didn't know the venue is right next to the airport. Might have to do that day trip next year!

Are there any pictures of the CC100?

After reading the media release, hopefully it is more than a V12VR with options;

- Delete hood ~ no cost
- Specially bonded non-opening doors ~ £5000

However, if it were to look like a DBR1, well WOW what a treat for the Centenary.

Start the queue after me.

Ford produced the Ford GT in memory of their GT40, so perhaps the Aston Martin CC100 might remember the DBR1.
