 Ferrari California T * McLaren 650S * Maserati Alfieri (Concept)

     As it is every year the 2014 Geneva Auto Show was special, unique a true once in a lifetime experience. A super collection of super cars built to extreme specifications from the ground up with one purpose in mind...speed. Running from March 6th through the 16th the auto show housed possibly the largest collection (outside of Jay Leno) of the world's fastest production cars. At least until the next super ultra car show comes around. 

    Geneva 2014 however seemed to be a little different. As opposed to a mega collection of expensive cars on display for public consumption. This year, it seemed much more deeply rooted names of the auto industry titans such as Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and so many more all here not just to show off a fast car but also display the epitome of years of intense research, design, innovation and technology. A series of countless systems all placed together to work in perfect harmony to achieve a single solitary objective...200 Miles Per Hour. 

    So let's a take quick look at 3 of the hottest of show 

• 2014 Ferrari California T - The T stands for Turbo. For the first time in a long time Ferrari has indeed turbocharged one of its  engines. Not since the the days of the powerful F40 has the company used the technology. Apparently they saw a need to go back to it in California for 2014. Besides being a beautiful car by design as most Ferrari's The California is also quick on its feet. Decidely they went with the monstrous 552-hp twin-turbocharged V-8pushing out 557 lb-ft of torque at will. A great match with the California T weighing in at 4000 pounds. The 3.9 Liter in unisome with the 7-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission does a great job of getting the California T from 0-60 in a little over 3.5 seconds.
• 2014 McLaren 650S - (pictured above) Many believe this model was introduced to do battle head-to-head with the Porsche 911. Others say it is simply an introduction into an untapped market for the British company and this their way of saying hello! Making its debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show the 650S is truly McLarens first attempt at the mid-size market. Usually when the name McLaren is mention its synonymous with massive horsepower, extreme torque and such. Yet the 650S is vying for place somewhere in the middle. Mid-range doesn't mean a power shortage the 650S still comes with McLaren's infamous 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the 650S packs 641 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to hit 60 in a brisk 3 seconds. 
• 2014 Maserati Alfieri Concept - Technically this car is still a concept yet to go into production. But what a concept! unveiled to the world for the first time in Geneva the Alfieri is a creation to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the storied automaker. Named after Alfieri Maserati, one of the Maserati brothers who founded Officine Alfieri Maserati. This concept was designed at the Maserati Centro Stile in Turin and is unquestionably the sleekest Maserati we have seen in quite a few years. The Alfieri has what many call a truly timeless design as it thrust you back into the stylish 60's of the Top-Hat wearing Pipe smoking secret-agent yet pushes you into the unknown future with styling and design far too advanced to be understood. Like most Concept cars we never really know if they will go into production and we can only keep our fingers crossed with this one it does..
