Geneva Motor Show - Italian Stallions

Two of the most widely anticipated cars at the Geneva Motor Show were the Lamborghini Huracan and the Maserati Alfieri Concept

Lamborghini Huracan

Neither disappointed.  When Lamborghini first showed us photos of the Huracan there was a ripple of dissent through the petrol head community.  A Lamborghini needs to look mad, we said, but the Huracan almost looks normal, we said.

It is and it doesn't.  In the metal the Huracan is a sensational looking car.  The first press photos didn't do justice to it's shape, to it's subtle curves and to it's harsh slashes.  The rear end in particular is Lamborghini through and through.  Bravissimo!

The Maserati Alfieri Concept, on the other hand, is an Italian sonnet writ in metal.  Ignore the fact it looks a little like a Latin version of the Jaguar F-Type Coupe and enjoy its beautiful curves.  If it weren't for the F-Type Coupe sitting nearby I'd say it was the best looking car at Geneva.
