Rezmoto Geneva Roundup: Production Cars

With the Geneva Motor Show coming to a close we’re going to talk about the solid new cars that were revealed this year in Rezmoto’s Geneva Roundup. We’re going to do this in two parts counting the top 5 best production and concept cars that were unveiled at the show.

Top 5 Best Production Cars

1. Koenigsegg Agera R

This beauty is number one on our list for a few reasons. The engine is outrageous with 1,115 HP 885 lb-ft of torque. It looks like a hot wheels car we all played with as kids. And for a supercar it’s practical with a nice big aerodynamic roof rack. Really it has everything you would want in a supercar to hit the top spot on our list.

2.Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

Lamborghini’s successor to the Gallardo is just as we all expected, a faster more finely tuned car. It has the classic edgy lines that give a Lamborghini its identity and the power to match hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds. What is there not to like?

3. Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate

We had to put up at least one wagon in the top 3 or we wouldn’t be a euro blog. As far as wagons go this is one of the hottest. Putting out 481 hp on the proven C63 AMG platform can only be a good thing. Throw in a sick set of wheels and you have our number three production car of Geneva.

4. Brabus 700 Biturbo SLS Amg

The Brabus 700 Biturbo is an amazing example of aftermarket tuning done right. The subtle body kit and custom wheels tell you this car is not the “run of the mill” SLS AMG, but it doesn’t hit you over the head with it. The engine is tuned beyond belief with a top speed of 213 mph. Brabus did well with this one.

5. Audi RS3 Sportback

Another new sport hatchback for 2012 and a new addition to Audi’s RS line that will be replacing the classic RS4, how could this go wrong? 0-62 in 4.6 seconds makes it a bit slower than the Merc but it does cost less. However, there is some bad news that dropped it to the number 5 spot. Audi has not clarified if this RS will come to the U.S.; However, for the European readers it will be on sale in the first half of 2011

Classic Auto Furniture

Classic Auto Furniture makes computer desks from the trunks of classic BMW’s and Mercedes’. The design is clean, just the trunk and legs made of four pieces of welded steel. Prices are around $2000 for the table then there are a few extras like keyboard trays and adjoining tables. These desks would look perfect in any modern office, or the ultimate desk for a bachelor pad. Each desk is one of a kind made from the actual cars with the parts coming from scrapyards around New England. Bottom line, if you want a sick new desk check out Classic Auto Furniture.

AMG Police Car

(Source: Autoblog)

At fist glance this Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG police car looks awesome. Then I saw the side. This is the ride of the “fashion police” at this years Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. This car will be driving around New York this week picking up “trend setters” on the street and taking them to wherever thet’re walking. It’s a neat publicity stunt and who wouldn’t love to be driven to their destination in such a nice car. Although it would have been sweet if a police department was actually going to use the CLS 63 AMG’s as police cars, I think my mind got a little too carried away with this one. Well if your in New York this week dress a little funky, maybe you will be given a ride in an AMG Police Car, if you do let us know.

Mercedes-Benz Biome

The Mercedes-Benz Biome is an ultralight auto that utilizes technologies from nature to achieve unparalleled efficiency and seamless integration into the ecosystem. In keeping with the green theme, Mercedes is continuing to develop a line of vehicles and technologies that have a symbiotic relationship with the environment. Speaking of green, this concept pictured below is likely to cost a lot of it.

Renntech C74 Konzept

Renntech is well known in the Mercedes-Benz tuning world and what they did to this C63 AMG is extraordinary.  Their C74 Konzept was suppose to debut at SEMA but pictures have leaked out and to the few that were able to go to the Festivals of Speed in Orlando, they actually saw this car in the flesh.  This beefed up C63 comes with everything you could want and then some; carbon fiber (CF) lip, CF diffuser, double staggered wheels (19 & 20), and a motor pushing out 605bhp with 555 pound feet of torque.  CF braces help keep the built-motor in check from torquing its way out of the bay.  Needless to say, this is one Mercedes you don’t want to mess with.

Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

I’ve been fortunate enough to see the new Mercedes-Benz SLS in the raw and its a little disappointing. Never the less, it is an impressive car.  Being a high performance tuning company specializing in Mercededs-Benz, what Brabus does to the SLS AMG is insane. Subtle changes here and nothing outrageous there, no big body kits or anything like that. Subtlety always impresses when taken as an overall package.  Carbon Fibre aerodynamic bits, ultra lightweight forged wheels, new suspension and a Titanium exhaust really help this car keep its weight down while adding a beautiful look and design.  Check out the full press release here.

Mercedes 190 EVO 2

In lieu of a lot of our material being written about the VAG family of cars, here is a little something something for the Mercedes lovers in us. The Mercedes 190 EVO series was a direct play against BMW’s E30 M3 back in the day.
