[p]The Geneva International Motor Show was held from 7th March 2019 to 17th March 2019. This year brings fresh EVs like Pininfarina’s Battista and Fiat’s Centoventi. In addition, EVs already in the works like Audi’s e-tron series and Mercedes-Benz’s EQ series make a return. From hypercars to hatchbacks, this year’s Geneva Motor Show has a lot to offer in the EV world.[br][p][strong]1. PININFARINA AUTOMOBILI BATTISTA[/strong] [br][p]
[br][p]The Battista is Automobili Pininfarina’s first car. The Mahindra Group-owned German performance and luxury EV maker was founded in 2018 bearing the legendary car designer’s name. The Battista is an all-electric hypercar that churns out a beastly 1,900 horsepower. Only 150 of these will be made and sold at $2 million (Rs 14 crore approx). [p][strong]2. HISPANO-SUIZA CARMEN[/strong] [br][p]
[br][p]Named after the granddaughter of the Spanish car maker’s founder, the Carmen is yet another hyper-luxury (or hyperlux) car with an all-electric heart. The 1.7-tonne Carmen’s custom-made powertrain delivers a total of 1,019 horsepower to the car’s rear wheels, which are covered in fender skirts similar to the ones from the company’s iconic Dubonnet Xenia. [p][strong]3. ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA ALL-TERRAIN CONCEPT[/strong] [br][p]
[br][p]The original Lagonda was a four-door luxury sedan made and sold by Aston Martin between 1974 and 1990. The name returned last year in the form of Aston Martin’s insane luxury limousine. This year, however, the Aston Martin Lagonda All-Terrain concept is a massive SUV with 21-inch wheels. The Super GT variant of this all-electric SUV throws out 715 horsepower. [p][strong]4. FIAT CONCEPT CENTOVENTI[/strong] [br][p]
[br][p]Fiat believes that this funky Panda-like hatchback is equivalent to a blank canvas. Using the 4U program, a buyer can purchase their Centoventi with a choice of four roofs, four wheel covers, and four external wrappings. The Centoventi is “modulable”, which means it features modular batteries, which can be rented to do a maximum of 500 kilometres. We particularly like the Fiat vertical vents logo on the front that double as a battery charge indicator. [p][strong]5. IMAGINE BY KIA[/strong] [br][p]
[br][p]If you like smartphones, you’ll love Kia’s new EV concept. This four-door crossover SUV has 21 smartphones (or smartphone-like devices) placed next to one another on the dashboard. This cool new concept also sports Kia’s new logo and an illuminated “tiger mask” around its headlamps. [p]The Other Electric Cars in the show were:[p]6. [strong]IMAGINE BY KIA[/strong][p][strong]7.
