Welcome back to the Geneva show floor, for our next video report.
We start off with the latest McLaren.
And that's this 650S. Some sort of hybrid, between the 12C and the P1.
The front is all P1, the drivetrain comes from the 12C. A 3.8 biturbo V8.
0-100 kph goes in 3 seconds, top speed is 333 kph. For a price though.
If you can afford to spend even more, there's a spider, too.
The coupe costs 289000 euro's, this one is 313000.
0-200 kph takes just 8.4 seconds. Goodbye, haircut!
On to the next cabriolet with a 3.8 biturbo V8.
Meet the California T: the first turbocharged Ferrari since the F40.
Specs? 560 ps, following 490 ps for the pre-facelift model.
0-100 kph takes 3.6 seconds, top speed is rated at 316 kph.
More importantly, according to Ferrari: it's 15 percent more fuel-efficient.
If you ask me, it just looks a whole lot nicer than before.
On to something more affordable: the Qoros 3 hatchback.
It may not sound exciting, but it's an important car nonetheless.
It's the first hatchback from Qoros, which shows their ambition.
They're doing well in China, but need to up their game for Europe.
More body variants, modern engines and a proper dealer network.
It will take a while, but believe me: the Chinese are coming.
This looks a bit like Kia's old Cee'd: not very exciting, but very neat.
They will get there.
I almost told you this 4 Series Gran Coupé is a 3 Series with different window pillars.
Fortunately, a marketing lady just told me it's something very different.
And this is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the hottest new car from BMW.
A car that kills anything that's holy for BMW.
It has front-wheel drive, to battle the Mercedes-Benz B-Class midi mpv.
The base is shared with the latest Mini. It has the same engines, too.
And apparantly, the space is very unlike any other BMW.
With its flexibility, this car will have to reel in the big money from a large audience.
Well, this is not a bad place to sit, and there's quite some space in the boot.
I think the marketing story starts to work for me, too.
- So you're convinced already?
- We could be sceptical, but I'm sure both cars are great to drive.
- Yeah...
Count with us!
That's what's new about the Mini Clubman Concept: 6 instead of 5 doors.
But Roland, I don't think you'll fit in there.
- Nah, I belong in front. I'm curious about the final version though!
Which brings us to Mazda. The Mazda 2, to be specific. Well no, the Hazumi Concept.
This is what the new 2 will look like. It'll be in Paris later this year, and on sale in 2015.
- You can recognize the Kodo design, like on the 6 and the 3. I really like it.
We were told this will be the new Mazda 2 for about 98 percent.
Imagine different mirrors and door handles and you're very close.
Underneath we'll find SkyActiv technology again, with 1.5 diesel and petrol engines.
If the gearbox and ride are anything like the 3 and the 6, this will be a great little car.
- This concludes this video from the Geneva show floor.
Stay tuned for more, as we bring Mercedes, Maserati and Alfa Romeo. Still a lot!
