The Geneva Motor Show is always big. This year was no exception. Manufacturers, suppliers, engineering companies, parts dealers, design universities were all there showing off their latest products and creations.
There was a wide selection on display; from ground breaking concept cars, multi-million dollar one-off supercar concepts and the latest fuel-efficient race cars, to more ordinary vehicles like affordable hatchbacks, sensible family cars and the latest production SUVs.

Compiled here is a big ol’ gallery of images – 278 of them to be exact – for you to peruse.
The 2014 Geneva Motor Show runs from 6 – 16 March.

Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge

The Espera Sbarro automotive design school showed up to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show with a couple of their more recent creations. As usual they were pretty bonkers, and again, as usual, the cars were built by a team of students guided by their tutors.
The Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge (Red Arrow) is one of their more impressive designs of recent times. Some of the Sbarro concepts can be a bit too like Wacky Racers to be taken seriously – the Sbarro Autobau is a good example. But the Fleche Rouge sits perfectly on the intersection between outrageous and awesome.
Admittedly it does look a bit like the Lamborghini Aventador J, but part of that could just be the color choice. In reality the two cars are very different.

Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge
The Sbarro Espera ES-13 Fleche Rouge was styled to look a little like a Le Mans 24 Hour racer crossed with a fighter jet and a bit of Batmobile thrown in for good measure. The bodywork is made up from both fiberglass and carbon fiber panels.
Powering the Fleche Rouge concept is a mid-mounted 156 horsepower, 1.6 litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine from the Citroen DS3. That’s not much considering how extreme the car looks. But in a car weighing just 900 kgs (1,984 lbs) it should make for an entertaining drive at the very least.
