Top 5 Insane Cars From Geneva 2016

There were a ton of super car announcements at Geneva this year! We'll be going over the top 5 cars we'll probably never be able to own, and briefly discuss some of the performance data for each.

Starting at number 5 !

5.    Koenigsegg Regera RS - 1500 hp and 1500 ft/lb of torque are developed from an out industry first 800 volt battery, transferred to the ground through a revolutionary transmission referred to as "Koenigsegg Direct Drive". This Direct Drive system is meant to eliminate the weight and mechanical loss found with a traditional gearbox. 0-300km/h in 10.9 Seconds.



4. Arash AF10 - Insane car from ..... Has a supercharged V8 producing 900 HP with a 6 speed manual or automatic transmission, as well as 4 electric motors, one at each wheel, each with their own 2 speed gearbox, making around 295 hp each that rev to 13,000 RPM. Ad all that up and the Arash AF10 is supposedly pushing 2080hp. This hybrid version is priced at 1.1-1.2 Million Euros depending on your options.



3. Apollo Arrow - The gorgeous new Apollo has 1000hp and 737 lb/ft of torque coming from a 4.0L twin turbo V8! No electric motors. The Arrow comes with a 7 speed transmission and carbon fiber tub. 0-60 mph takes about 2.9 seconds, and Arrow has a reported top speed of 223 mph.



2. Lamborghini Centanario - Celebrating the 100th birthday of the companies founder, the Centenario manages to be beautiful while being one of the most aggressive looking cars I've ever seen. Figures are a 770hp engine and a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 240 mph. It is interesting how good the times are considering the 770hp produced by the v12 is so much less than competitions. Even though the performance appears to be insane and demand for Lamborghini's is high, Lamborghini has announced only 40 of the Centanario will be produced with a base price of $2.5 million USD.



1. Bugatti Chiron - LIMITED at 261 mph... The new Bugatti Chiron is a monster. and with no electric motors to boot. An 8.0L 16 cylinder engine with 4 turbo chargers produces 1497bhp and 1180 lb/ft of torque! That's by far the most horsepower I've ever seen out of a production gasoline motor vehicle. The Chiron goes 0-62 mph in under 2.5 seconds, and 0-124mph (200km/h) in 6.2 seconds.
