The Italian manufacturer unveiled its latest supercar coupe, the 488 GTB, powered by a turbocharged V8 for a top speed of over 330km/h. To be sold for €220,000 (around $241,300), the model goes from 0 to 100km/h in 3 seconds and from 0 to 200km/h in just 8.3 seconds.

The latest Lamborghini Aventador is not only more powerful but also lighter than its predecessor. As a result, the 750hp V12 enables top speeds of up to 350km/h and 0 to 100km/h acceleration in less than 3 seconds. Of course, this kind of performance comes at a price: over €320,000 (around $351,100).

Aston Martin’s new supercar has a chassis made primarily of carbon fiber and a 7-liter V12 engine with around 800hp, making it the most powerful vehicle in the brand’s history. Each of the 24 models to be produced will have a starting price of €2.5 million (around $2.7 million).

Among the most impressive cars in Geneva this week, the Koenigsegg Regera boasts a combined output of 1500hp (from three electric motors and a turbocharged V8) and 0 to 400km/h acceleration in just 20 seconds. This superlative model is produced in a limited edition of just 80 units.

McLaren staged the world premiere of its 675 LT in Geneva. As indicated by the name, the supercar has a 675hp V8 engine, which takes it from 0 to 100km/h in under 3 seconds. A total of 500 675 LTs will be produced and sold for over €300,000 each (around $329,100).

Making its European debut in Geneva, the Ford GT made a strong impression thanks to its twin turbo V6 EcoBoost with over 600hp, which is based on an engine developed for the race track. The supercar is slated to go on sale worldwide in 2016.

The next-generation Audi R8 has a 610hp V10, which enables top speeds of up to 330km/h and 0 to 100km/h acceleration in 3.2 seconds. The supercar also stands out for its laser headlights, available as an option. Audi also offers an electric version, the R8 e-tron.

This high-end version of the Model S is no less than the world’s highest-performance electric car, as its combined output of 700hp takes it to a top speed of 250km/h and from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.

Happy 100th Anniversary To Aston Martin!

The most iconic Aston Martin model — and the one most frequently seen on screen — is the DB5, produced from 1963 to 1965. Sean Connery first revved its engine in “Goldfinger” in 1964.

The company was founded a hundred years ago, on January 15, 1913 by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin as ‘Bamford & Martin LTD’ in England.

Aston Martin has become an iconic brand most recognized as movie character James Bond’s getaway car of choice.

Here are some photos of Aston Martin throughout the years….

Timothy Dalton’s James Bond drove the V8 Vantage Volante in 1987’s “The Living Daylights.” The GT was produced from 1978 to 1989.

In 1969, George Lazenby took over the role of 007 for one film, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” driving the 1969-1972 DBS model.

Daniel Craig’s 007 took the DB5 for a spin in 2006’s “Casino Royale” and 2012’s “Skyfall.”

The Coal Scuttle, built in 1915, earned its name from its shape, similar to the household item that was common at the time.

Aston Martin developed the DB3s as a racing car to replace the heavier DB3 model. It was produced from 1953 to 1956.

The DB Mark III was driven by James Bond, though it was never featured in any of the films. Author Ian Fleming placed Bond in this 1957-to-1959 model in the book version of “Goldfinger.”

The Aston Martin Atom was a prototype car built in 1939 and never produced for the masses.

The DB4 Zagato earned its name from the lightweight body built by Italian car body company Zagato. The model was produed between 1960 and 1963.

The DB4, produced from 1958 to 1963, went from 0 to 60 in nine seconds and had a top speed of 140 mph.

Production of the three-door Cygnet began in 2011. The model was created in part to comply with European Union CO2 emissions regulations which took effect in 2012.

Aston Martin’s V12 Vanquish, produced from 2001 to 2007, can be seen in the 2002 James Bond movie “Die Another Day” dodging a giant laser beam melting an ice palace.

This Bamford & Martin Side Valve Team Car was built in 1924. A similar model, the 1.5-liter Side Valve Short Chassis Tourer, was James Bond’s first car in Ian Fleming’s “Silverfin” from the Young Bond novel series.

The DBS V12, produced from 2007 to 2012, was featured in two James Bond films, 2006’s “Casino Royale” and 2008’s “Quantum of Solace.”

The 1994-2003 DB7 model was designed by Ian Callum, who is currently the director of design at Jaguar. Similarities in design can be seen when comparing the DB7 and the Jaguar XK coupe.

Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond drove the DB5 in 1995’s “GoldenEye” and 1997’s “Tomorrow Never Dies.”
