Geneva 2011 - what are the premieres?

[Beefmeister]

I've just booked my flight for the 5th March, so what can I expect to see? So far i think there will be:

Lamborghini LP700/4
Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS LE
Subaru version of the 'Toyobaru' Coupe
Mini Cooper SD

Anything else?

(obviously there will be a lot more, i'm trying to get info before any smartarses say something!)

Yip.

4.0 litre.

500bhp.

The very very last hurrah for the 997. Dealers are taking deposits now according to some people I know...

If its ready the Zonda replacement from Pagani. I am also looking forward to what the 612 replacement from Ferrari looks like.

Still pondering over going. Some flights are very cheap and very tempting!

The boot badge alone has required an extra line of tooling at Zuffenhausen.

£100. Bargain.

Going there on press day x 2. I look forward to all these premieres; some are pretty early in the morning though!

You are correct in these new comers making their debut.

I'm heading for press days too; I got a pass but was planning on just doing the first. I've never done a press day before but normally been happy with the show in 2/3rds of a day. Because of the unveiling of new cars will I find I want to go back the following day do you think?

There's some talk of an Alfa 4C GTA, apparently based on the KTM x-bow and using the engine from the Giulietta Cloverleaf. No idea how true that is, though.

Got my first Geneva this year, can't wait.

[tobybmw535i]

I have heard the new BMW M5 will be released at Geneva as well.

[Beefmeister]

Well to the previous list we can also add the Ferrari FF and Pagani Huayra.

I'm really looking forward to it, should be some lovely metal there...

[Shmee]

Also the new Gumpert, and an awful lot from tuning companies.

I desperately wanted to do Geneva this year but it's clashing with moving into the new house and I have a feeling the other half would be a bit annoyed if I left the move in to him while I indulged.
