Here are the Geneva stars you need to know about

How to top the Veyron? Like this. It’s the Chiron, a 1,479bhp leviathan that becomes Bugatti’s new super sports car. It’s biblically fast, as you would expect: an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 powers the Chiron’s four-wheels to 62mph in under 2.5 seconds. That’s right, sub-2.5s.

Top speed? 261mph, limited for safety, but capable of hitting over 270mph with the chains taken off. Sheesh.

Let’s be perfectly honest: a world without Lamborghini would be a very dull world. The Centenario is perfect proof: a limited edition coupe that becomes the most powerful production Lamborghini ever built.

760bhp, to be precise, good enough for 0-62mph in 2.8s and a top speed of 217mph. Stephan Winkelmann, we’ll miss you.

Probably perfect, if we’re honest. The kind of 911 you’d cook up on your own: 4.0-litre, naturally aspirated flat-six from the GT3 RS, a six-speed manual gearbox, the option of a single-mass flywheel for freer revs, and a 0-62mph time of just 3.7s.

Yes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the new generation of Aston Martin has arrived. The new DB11 is a line in the sand for a resurgent AM, and we’re rather excited. The new DB11 gets an all-new bonded aluminium chassis and a brand new, 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12.

Headline stats? 0-62mph in 3.9s, 600bhp and a top speed of 200mph.

Looks lovely, too.

Horacio Pagani’s 789bhp ode to his friend and mentor, Benny Caiola. We’ve driven this thing, and can attest to its astonishing attention to detail and full fat, brutal performance.

In the flesh out here in Geneva, it’s got quite a presence, too.

Yes, the more fun-focused version of Fiat’s Spider. And doesn’t it look mighty?

Power from the 1.4-litre turbo rises to 178bhp, along with more focused suspension and a limited slip diff as standard.

We saw the concept Regera – with a more powerful powertrain – last year. For 2016, we get the final, real production version. Koenigsegg has upped his game with his 1,500bhp ‘direct-drive’ enabled Regera, and the results are spectacular.

That power is sent through a revolutionary type of transmission system and capable of propelling the Regera from 0-62mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of at least 249mph.

An updated version of the rather lovely FF, packing Ferrari’s current tech marvels. Four-wheel-drive, rear-wheel steering (from the F12tdf), and an evolution of the Side Slip Control seen on the 488 GTB.

Power is up, too, to 680bhp, meaning you’ll get from 0-62mph in just 3.4s.

Finally, the new Maserati SUV. You can decide for yourself about the looks, while Maserati promises us it’ll provide “unrivalled handling even on very low-grip surfaces”.

There’s the choice of a V6 diesel or petrol engine on board, though no V8 just yet.

This is more than just a concept. DS – Citroen’s luxury offshoot – told TG that the stunning E-Tense concept (internally codenamed GT17) previews a future performance GT. It’ll form part of a six-model DS line-up in the future, which will also likely include a luxury crossover/SUV too.

The Geneva show car then, is a properly built, fully-working performance concept. It’s powered by an e-motor and lithium ion batteries producing 396bhp, and is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds.
