Geneva Motor Show 2011 presented a lot of surprises, a lot of hybrid and electric cars but also the Supercars. I made a top 5 of the most interesting Supercars.

1. LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR

This Supercar was waiting by a lot of people, especially by the Lamborghini fans. The Murcielago successor came to Geneva Auto Show 2011 after his previously announced by a series of teasers that have gradually ”dressed” the Italian model, over the recent weeks. The model of the automaker from Sant’Agata Bolognese comes with a V12 engine, with 700 HP and with interesting figures in the column entitled “Performance”: 2.9 seconds for 0-60 mph and 217 mph maximum speed.

2. FERRARI FF

The latest model in the Ferrari range does not replace any previous model. From a simple reason: it is an absolute new model for the Italian automaker. We talking about the first Ferrari model in the history that comes with four wheel drive system and with fours seats, elements that are considered strange by many fans of the brand. However, the interesting Shooting Brake design, the V12 engine and the 660 HP promise that the Ferrari FF model will quickly find the buyers.
