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.

Pagani's All-New V12 Huayra Supercar

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

After months if not years of speculation and anticipation, niche automaker Pagani has revealed the successor to the Zonda in the form of the Huayra you see here. The name and styling – particularly the gaping maw at the front – have been the subject of some controversy, but there's no arguing with the performance potential.

Behind those gull-wing doors that swing upwards to gain access to a sumptuously appointed interior of leather, aluminum and carbon fiber sits a 6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine courtesy of Mercedes AMG, producing over 700 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a curb weight of less than 3,000 lbs, and we're looking at a top speed in excess of 230 miles per hour.
