2011 Geneva Motor Show: The Supercars

Geographically located in between the supercar capitals of Europe, Switzerland is where the world's automakers come to showcase the latest array of mouth-watering, bank-balance-tempting exotic sports cars. And this year's Geneva Motor Show didn't disappoint in the least.

In between all those luxury sedans, upscale sport-utes and premium hatchbacks were a blinding assortment of six-figure supercars seemingly capable of bending the very laws of physics. Standing out from the crowd were brand-new offerings from Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani, new takes on old favorites from Maserati, Aston Martin and Jaguar, concept cars from Alfa Romeo, BMW and Wiesmann and more.

We went to Geneva to check them out with our own eyes (and lens) – follow the jump to see what we found, and click the images to view the full galleries from our sister-site Autoblog.

Gumpert Gives Us a Glimpse at the new Tornante Supercar

You may not have heard of the Gumpert Apollo, rare as it is, but it happens to be one of the most devastatingly fast cars on the market. That bit is owed largely to the fact that it's barely more civilized than a race car. But in an effort to attract more customers, the company founded by Audi's former racing chief is launching a new supercar called the Tornante at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

We brought you an initial report on the Gumpert Tornante a couple of weeks ago, but the manufacturer has now released the image you see above and some preliminary details on the vehicle. The Tornante will get the same 4.2-liter twin-turbo Audi V8 as the Apollo, but in a more luxurious package and more attractive bodywork designed by by Milanese coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.
