There is no better place for a jaw-dropping hot car than the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Taking place every year in the Swiss City, famous automakers gather to show off their latest supercars to the public. Here are some obscure supercars saw at the event.
Vanda Electrics Dendrobium. The Singaporean startup Vanda Electric currently manufactures a tiny electric mini bike named as the Motochimp and an electric utility truck called the Ant Truck. This supercar features two inboard electric motors in the front and two more in the back, but they do not control individual wheels for torque-vectoring purposes.
The supercar has a top speed of 200 mph and weighs around 3,850 pounds. So expect a combined output power in the 700-900 hp range. The company plans to build 10-25 cars of this type and sell the for seven figures.
The Chinese automotive R&D company is creating a Turbine-Electric Recharging Vehicle engine for future use in mainstream vehicles. The car's chassis was developed and constructed by LM Gianetti of Turin in Italy, and designed by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro.
The current turbine makes 40 hp, and a 107 hp version is coming soon. The flagship six-motor version will get a 25-KW-hr battery and makes 1,287 hp and 1726 lb-ft of torque.
This car can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 199mph. The company is planning to build ten cars per year and would take place in Italy starting 2018. No pricing has been established yet.
Rimac Concept One. This car was one of the stars at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Founded near Zagreb in 2009, the firm refers to its Concept One as the world's very first fully electric hypercar. This car has big electric motors that spin each wheel and provides full torque vectoring and has a total output of 1244 hp and 1180 lb-ft of torque. It claimed to accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph. This one costs $1.2 million.
Tamo Strada and Recemo+ S. Tamo is a new mobility services sub-brand of India's Tata Motors, and now it's launching a mid-engine two-seat supercar optimized for the Indian market. The car is powered by a 1.2-liter turbo three-cylinder that makes 187 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque that's spinning through a paddle-shifted six-speed automated manual single-clutch transmission. No word on the pricing yet, but this car will be the cheapest car on this list.
