The company is also debuting its Mercedes-Maybach S-600 Pullman. It's a limousine of nearly unparalleled luxury, with four quilted leather reclinable seats, a champagne cooler within easy reach, a retractable glass partition that can transform from transparent to opaque at the push of a button and armour cladding as an option. (Keystone / Sandro Campardo)

The new Aston Martin Vantage GT3 drew crowds during press day at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show, Tuesday, March 3, 2015. This isn't the new James Bond car, however. That's the new DB10, which will sidle up alongside some other British greats. (Keystone / Maxime Schmid)

In case you thought the Lamborghini Aventador wasn't crazy enough, witness the DMC Huracan Stage2. The kit gives the car a whole new look with a new front bumper, large intakes and a sizable splitter. The roof, rear apron and fixed wing on the Stage2 are carbon fiber. The upgrade will also boost the output of the car’s V10 to at least 700 horsepower. (Keystone / Martial Trezzini)

A major car show wouldn't be complete without an appearance by legendary Maranello car maker Ferrari. It's sure to draw crowds with its 488 GTB. Drawing on the company's long racing history, its newly designed turbo-charged V8 goes from zero to 100 kph in about three seconds flat. (Keystone / Sandro Campardo)

It's neither car nor motorcycle, but the Lazareth Wazuma GT does boast a supercharged V8 Jaguar engine and a tiny windshield, so you may want to consider a helmet when jumping in the driver's seat. (AP / Laurent Cipriani)

Audi unveiled its second-generation R8 supercar in Geneva. It's moved by a V10 engine capable of zero to 100 kph in 3.2 seconds and has an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, making it significantly lighter than its predecessor while being 40 per cent stiffer. That means better speed and handling. (AP / Laurent Cipriani)

The Aventador LP 750-4 has that classic low-slung Lamborghini design and lots of angles and carbon fiber. It can hit a top speed of 350 kph. (AP / Laurent Cipriani)
