At the Geneva Motor Show, powerful engines are roaring; moreover, one can enjoy unique car designs, modern electromobiles as well as the finest cars suitable even for the most ordinary of people.

The Pininfarina body shop in Geneva took everyone’s breath away.

Known for their collaboration with the Ferrari team, Pininfarina brought their own model to Geneva, the Pininfarina Battista. And let it be told it really is a respectable luxury stinger. This Hypersports car will be placed on the market in 2020. It is assumed that the production will include only 150 pieces: 50 will be waiting to be ordered in America, another 50 will find their owners in Europe and the last 50 will be available in Asia/Middle East.

"The launching of this car is a dream come true for our family. My grandfather has always dreamed about a whole range of original cars existing under his name," says Paolo Pininfarina, the head of the body shop.

The Geneva Motor Show - more than a hundred years of honest tradition

The first exhibition in Geneva was held in 1905. A more than a hundred-year-old tradition of the Geneva Motor Show makes this exhibition one of the most significant ones both in Europe and in the world. Switzerland is remarkable for not having its own major automobile brand, which conveniently ensures it remains unbiased. The Geneva Motor Show is held at the Palexpo Exhibition Center. The seven massive halls offer a display of the hottest news from the automotive industry, interesting accessories as well as design car models.

Individual means of transport intended for transfer of people in cities are experiencing a great boom. If you, too, are supporters of luxury (electro-scooters) or (electro-bicycles), pay attention. In Geneva the Škoda carmaker presented an innovative design solution. Something in which we could all swish about in towns in the future!

Meet the vision of the future with the name Škoda KLEMENT!

The name refers to the famous predecessor of the Škoda brand, firm Laurin & Klement, which began with the production of bicycles.

We are not so sure, whether the new KLEMENT concept may be called an electric bicycle, although at first glance it looks like one. Soon you will find out why. But what is certain is that this is a new style of travelling in the future, perhaps not as remote as it may seem. We are talking here about "individual micromobility".

The concept of Klement is basically a very simple one.

The traditional pedals were replaced by tilting ones, which integrate control, acceleration and brakes. Klement is controlled by shifting of weight on the pedals. In the front you can find a hydraulic brake with ABS and LED lights. Of course, there is also a 4 kW engine. The maximum speed is 45 km/h and the two batteries which can be easily removed and recharged from a socket, offers a driving range of 62 km. Close to the handlebar is located a smart phone holder with inductive charging.

The luxury concept envisages sharing, similarly to bicycles and scooters in cities.

With regard to the design, Klement meets the current trends to perfection: minimalism and a touch of "future look".

And the target group? It is easy to guess: young people living in densely populated cities seeking both sustainable alternative to cars, but at the same time fun and convenient, quick and simple means of transfer. Have we just described you, too? Unfortunately, the carmaker hasn´t disclosed any further information about whether and when will the concept go into serial production and how much may this service cost. We will have to wait a while.
