Thanks for the report Don !
Those supercars are really going over the top lately ... now i wouldn't mind driving one if i could afford it 
... my preference would go to McLarens P1 but also Koenigsegg (with their Hundra) deserves my respect, what Christian Von Koenigsegg has accomplished these last years most of us can only dream of .... .
About the new Clio RS ... it is actually visualy the same car as a standard Clio, the former model like mine had large wheel arches, bigger bumpers and a wider track. It's a shame they didn't do something similar with the new RS. Underneath off course it will probably be once again a true sportscar especially with he cup-chassis, albeit with flappy paddles (but programmed by Renaultsport). I think this is the first hot hatch with complete 'manually' flappy paddles, not the kind that VW is offering on their Polo/Golf/Ibiza/Fabia ... .
I find the design of the Clio quite appealing but the more i look at the back the more i think of the Ibiza our Luc has designed ... .
As for the star of the show i totally agree with you my friend ... that Alfa Romeo 4C might just be the one to have ... BUT .... let's wait till 2015 for the Alpine / Caterham ... i have a feeling this might be the lightweight car Lotus will have to fear .

Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 1
Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 1 The Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 had more surprises in store than I was expecting. As usual my comments will be from my vantage point seeing the cars mostly as objects of art. Let's start with the Lamborghini Veneno. ...

Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 2 From massive combustion to near silent whirrrring, we next see the Tesla S. From what I heard of the sales talk they are mostly trying to sell the monster LCD display to distract the driver. The gull-wing version I fo...
Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 3
Geneva Automobile Salon 2013 - Part 3 Now we come to my favorite car of the salon, the Alpha Romero C4. You can see many design influences such as Pagani and Lotus, but the car is still very Alpha. The planning is for this car to be make in small quantiti...

Thank you!! That was fun
I have to say, I thought almost every car shown was ugly as He**. Things are so over the top.... classic design is dead. Long live classic design.
Thanks for the report Don !

I was somewhat...
....disappointed with the 4C. So stumpy and lacking in coherence. But not as disappointing as the welds in the 4th photo of the Lamborghini V-thingy. :-)
Haven't seen the 4C in the flesh yet ..
... and that is no weld my friend, it's just glued .... nothing to worry about ... all is under control :-) ... . Bim
Don't know what happened there ...
.... but i find it really awkward ... but then the car was probably built together with a serious deadline .... :-) They should have done better ... like maybe replacing the already 10 year old Gallardo ? Not that the Gallardo is a dated car (well, techni...
I really like the new Aventador and the new Ferrari F12.
Thanks for the report Don! And I don't see anything here that I imagine I would love more than the Ferrari F12 and Lamborghini Aventador. The new special Lamborghini and special La Ferrari are interesting to look at, but so far don't look beautiful in the...
Excellent report Don, thanks so much for delivering those pics
Love the Maclaren P1, radical flowing style, and yellow happens to be my color. Many other killer cars there! Now back to work ;) Cheers, Tim
Veneno is very 'Decepticon' looking..
Thanks a lot for sharing the photos, Don. Cheers.
