This time we are going to look at the most exciting concept cars shown at Geneva. Hopefully, we will see some of these hitting the streets in the years to come.

1. Volkswagen Bulli

This concept gives hope that VW may bring back a microbus. This bus looks and runs clean; powered by a lithium-ion battery, the hippies will be happy too. Although not the latest and greatest in automotive tech, bringing back the microbus would be bringing back an icon.

2. BMW Vision ConnectedDrive

BMW’s new roadster concept will never hit the road but the technology will. The dashboard will display information in 3D. This will allow points of interest and road information to be projected up into the driver’s field of vision. Drivers will be able to fine tune the display to show as much or a little as they would like and the way they would like for it to be displayed.  No word on how this proof-of-concept is powered but the body they put on display looks pretty classy.

3. Toyota FT-86

This concept more than likely will be making it to production. The car has been in the works for a few years now. A joint project with Subaru, both will be releasing RWD coupes using 2.0-liter four cylinder boxer engines. I’m excited; Can you say Supra replacement?

4. Mini Rocketman

This cool mini Mini will be be another addition to the line of Mini’s. Smaller than the regular Cooper, it’s designed to be super-efficient getting 78 MPG. Duel-hinged doors and the smaller size makes this car perfect for the urban jungle. It seats 3 and looks a lot better than a smart car.

5. Saab PhoeniX

Seeing a fresh new Saab was a bit of a surprise. The current Saabs look  pretty stale but this new concept really livens things up. A 200 hp hybrid all-wheel-drive system powers this new sports car with an apparently impressive MPG rating. Overall this car takes spot  number 5 because it shows a cool new direction for the Swedish automaker.

Well thats it, Rezmoto’s top cars of Geneva. If there is something you think we missed or you agree with our list, hit us up in the comments or on Facebook.

BMW’s new ‘i’ line of environmentally friendly cars will be led by the i8 super car which has recently been spotted in Sweden. Although it’s covered in that weird vinyl wrap, the body shape still looks slick. What we know so far is that it’s going to be a plug-in hybrid with two separate electric motors, one powering each axle. The electric motors will  be accompanied by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder diesel engine which will put out a total of 328 hp. This plug-in is shockingly fast going from 0-60 in a little over 4 seconds, while at the same time getting around 75 miles per gallon. Although this video doesn’t show the lightning quick acceleration, it’s nice to see the BMW i8 spotted and running after seeing so many concept pictures in the past few years.

Just when you think Facebook could not get any better, now you can find spied shots of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 mixed in with the goofy app’s and your ex-roomate’s new photo gallery. The Lamborghini Club of Los Angeles has released the first good frontal shot of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 we have seen yet.

Beautiful huh? The Bat-mobile-esque front end is typical Lamborghini, as is the low slung roof and aggressive side panels. Expected to be housing a beefy V12 putting down 700+ horsepower, this is no dog. I’m interested to see what the final version will look like without all of the black cladding and tape-job its sporting in the picture. A mix of carbon perhaps? Only time will tell. I hope they ditch those wheels though, they are not my favorite. In my opinion, Lamborghini has not done the best job with wheel design in the past. These wheels don’t match very well with the aggressive lines, sharp corners, and masculine characteristics. Perhaps they should have someone at Ferrari lend a hand in wheel design.

A trailer video was recently released showing the new 2013 Lotus Esprit. With small sub-compact cars making a comeback in recent years with euro-mini’s such as the Smart Car, Mini Cooper, and Fiat , its no surprise to see Lotus coming out with a model of their own. The big difference being Lotus’ entry is attempting to create its own little niche mini-supercar catagory with their miniature models boasting huge performance numbers. Lotus says:

The ultimate Lotus returns in 2013. The latest version of the evocative Esprit continues where its forefathers had once driven. This exclusive supercar combines ultra aggressive contemporary styling with an intensive immersive driving experience, powered by an all-new supercharged, charge-cooled V8 heart giving stunning performance through light weight, in the perfect expression of Lotus supercar ownership.

Small does not always mean energy efficient, as is likely the case with the 2013 Lotus Esprit. With Americans gravitating towards the smaller vehicles and away from the mega-SUV’s, its due in part to their growing concern for the environment. Not that us tuners have ever been too concerned for the environment, it does beg the question; How well will a gas-guzzling mini-model sell in today’s environment with other small euro’s pushing 35+ miles per gallon. I suppose time will tell.

Back in 2010 in Detroit, Volkswagen unveiled the Microbus as a concept vehicle. It was a throwback to the older VW buses and was an interesting concept to those in the community. Nothing ever came of the original concept, but word on the street is that it might be back in the running. It would be nice to finally see one of these bagged to the floor.
