The event kicks off on March 5

There’s not long to go until the 85th Geneva Motor Show.

The Geneva Motor Show is one of the biggest events in the motoring calendar. So JOE has decided to take a look at some of the most anticipated debuts, along with the motors we’d just love to see in the flesh from some of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3

Aston Martin are expected to reveal a road-going version of their incredibly powerful V12 Vantage GT3, complete with massive spoiler and seriously mean front bumper. While it’s going to be ‘road legal’ we doubt we’ll be seeing one of these on the M50 anytime soon.

Audi R8

AudiR8

Audi have given their entire fleet a stunning new facelift over the past two years and one of the last models to get the new look is the new Audi R8. We’d nearly leave the missus just to own one (nearly)…

Ferrari 488 GTB

0-100kmh in just 3 seconds… Enough said.

Ford Focus RS

?????????????

The latest Focus RS will be the third generation of the super hot-hatch and it’s set to feature 4WD and a whopping 318hp. It’s going to be one ridiculously powerful hatch-back.

Honda Civic Type-R

We’ll finally (FINALLY!) get to see the production version of the Honda Civic Type-R in the flesh at Geneva. The Civic Type-R hit headlines late last year after Honda released this cracking video on YouTube (unfortunately, we can’t embed the video on the site, but it’s well worth a look).

Honda NSX

Acura already revealed the NSX at the Detroit Motor Show earlier in the year, but Honda will be showcasing their rebadged version at Geneva. We can’t wait to see it in the flesh…

Lamborghini Aventador SV (SuperVeloce)

The latest version of the Aventador, known as the Aventador SV, is set to be an absolute screamer of a car. Why? Well, Lamborghini only puts the SV badge on their most powerful cars. Pics have leaked online, but we’ll probably have to wait until Geneva before we see any official pics.

Lexus Concept

The 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013

Lexus confirmed that they’re bringing a brand new concept car to Geneva this year, but they quickly shot down rumors that a new LFA (pictured above) would be revealed. We’ll just have to wait and see what they’re got up their sleeve. It’s sure to be class.

New Lotus

The British manufacturer is set to unveil a brand new car at this year’s show (not the one pictured above) and the say it’s going to be “exciting”. We’ll be the judge of that, thank you very much Lotus. Admittedly, we are already pretty excited to see what it is.

McLaren P1 GTR

The McLaren P1 GTR is set to make an appearance at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The car is so powerful (986hp) that you can’t take it out on public roads, not that that would matter, as you can only buy one if you own the road-going McLaren P1.

McLaren 675LT

While we’ve already seen the P1 GTR, McLaren will be debuting a new motor called the 675LT that produces 666hp. Safe to say, this car is going to be a demon.

Mercedes AMG-GT

The stunning new Mercedes AMG-GT will feature at this year’s show and it’s set to rival Porsche’s 911. We couldn’t choose a favourite. That would be like picking your favourtie child.

New Morgan

There’s a new Morgan on the way, which should get the proper old school petrol heads extremely excited. Unfortunately, Morgan are playing their cards close to their chest on this one, so we’ll have to wait until closer to Geneva to find out more.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

89127190

Yet another track supercar will make it’s debut at Geneva, that being Porsche’s 911 GT3 RS. The latest 911 GT3 RS is set to come equipped with a 3.8L that churns out 500hp. Like the Lamborghini Aventador SV, pics of the new 911 GT3 RS have been leaked online.

Porsche Cayman GT4

Not to be outdone by Mercedes and their AMG-GT, Porsche will be revealing their new Cayman GT4, which is basically a mini-911 GT3. A seriously slick mini-911 GT3, at that.
