The Geneva Motor Show kicks off on Tuesday, and all the world's major automakers are trekking to Switzerland to show off their latest goods.
While the highlights of the Detroit Auto Show in January were the new Ford F-150 pickup truck and Toyota FT-1 concept, in Geneva it's all about luxury rides, sporty hatchbacks, and over-the-top supercars.
Before things get started, here's a look at the 21 cars we can't wait to see, including the very best from Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, and Sweden's Koenigsegg.
<h3>McLaren's 650S Coupe can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds flat, and to 124 mph in just 8.4 seconds — a full second quicker than the McLaren F1, once the world's fastest production car.</h3>

<h3>A sign that Ferrari is focusing on efficiency as well as performance, the new California T will be the first prancing horse-stamped car with a turbocharged engine since the 1980s. That gives it 49% more torque and uses about 15% less fuel.</h3>

<h3>Fit for a reveal in Switzerland, Citroen's oddly-named C1 Swiss & Me is a special edition that features the Swiss flag and "adopts a playful approach to the constraints of city driving."</h3>

<h3>The Koenigsegg One:1 is not just likely the fastest production car on the planet. It's also the first with a 1:1 power to curb weight ratio. 1,340 horsepower, 1,340 kilograms. Top speed should be over 273 mph. </h3>

<h3>Jaguar promises the station wagon XFR-S will provide even better performance than the sedan version, with tons of extra trunk space. It's not bringing the car to the U.S., so we're considering moving to England.</h3>

<h3>Vauxhall's latest little monster, the Astra VXR EXTREME, is the brand's most powerful front-wheel drive car ever. It's 220 pounds lighter than the standard Astra VXR, and the 2.0-liter turbo engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.</h3>

<h3>The plug-in hybrid electric Golf GTE marks the fifth kind of powertrain VW has put in a Golf, after gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and hybrid versions. Maybe they'll go for a nuclear-powered model next.</h3>

<h3>Why build a whole new car when you can make a great one even better? For Geneva, Aston Martin is rolling out the V8 Vantage N430, which will go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 190 mph. </h3>

<h3>We'd like to take away Vauxhall's right to name its cars, but can't deny that the ADAM ROCKS looks neat. The mini-crossover was shown as a concept in Geneva in 2013, and now it's about to go into production.</h3>

<h3>For those who don't like paved roads, Fiat is making the Panda Cross, based on the Panda 4X4. The new version has bigger tires and higher ground clearance, the better to hit the hidden trail. </h3>

<h3>We saw the Q50 Eau Rouge concept in Detroit. In Geneva, we'll see if Infiniti is serious about being a top luxury brand, when it will provides details on the car's engine. If Infiniti shows us something innovative and impressive, it will be a sign the brand really wants to compete with the big dogs.</h3>
