After we posted many good news about the cars and manufacturers that will come at the Geneva Motor Show, now we bring you some bad news: Pagani announced that the Zonda-R will not make its appearance to Geneva. The 750 HP and carbon-fiber super car will not show up because Pagani has to concentrate on other important projects.
If it were to believe “the talk of the town”, the automaker can’t bring any model because they sold all of them in order to cover their investment costs for manufacturing the sports car.
We don’t know the truth, but we are really disappointed because this is one of the coolest sports car. The gallery below will prove it.

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show, by the way it’s the 78th edition of the famous show, will be full of concept cars which is not so bad considering the fact that most of them are really cool. Another “concept-maker” called Webasto announced that they will show up with the LigHT Concept at Geneva and they will self-praise with the Light Hybrid Top (a roof concept) and with the Liquid Heat Generator (LHG) which is an auxiliary heating system.
The Geneva Motor Show will open for public as of 6th March and we will bring you more infos then and we will try to get our hands on a photo gallery, but until then follow the press release after the jump.

Well, it seems like Ford is very determined to “monopolise” all car classes and they plan to do it at the Geneva Motor Show. After the Fiesta Concept and the 2009 Mondeo, they announced the Kuga Concept, the first CUV destined for European Market.
The Kuga has a platform similar with the ones of the C-Max and Euro-Focus; the engine is a 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi common rail diesel which produces 136 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque. The standard version offers to its buyers ABS, Anti Rollover Mitigation, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and ESP.
As we told, the Kuga CUV Concept will be present at Geneva, but until then you can check the gallery below and be sure that we will give more pics in a few days from the auto show.

Finally we get something we want – Italdesign Giugiaro has released high-res pics of the Quaranta Concept just before Geneva Motor Show. We’ve been expecting this for a long time for the concept based on the 1968 Bizzarrini Manta Concept for its looks and on the Toyota Prius for its engine.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive completed with the 3.3-liter V6 engine produces 268 HP and 212 lb-ft of torque, enough to boost the Quaranta from 0 to 60 in just 4.05 seconds. Another design and tech cool characteristic is the solar power-generating roof. The design of the concept is simply astonishing and it will surely draw everybody’s attention at the upcoming auto show.
Check out the gallery below and follow the full press release after the jump.
