Since it's inception, the Geneva motor show has been regarded as the number one place for global car manufacturers to christen concepts and debut production-ready cars since it first took place in 1905. Since then, it's fair to say that cars (and, err, the world in general) have come on a long way, with more manufacturers choosing to show all-electric, autonomous and increasingly connected concepts to the public.
With launches from some of the biggest brand names in the automotive world, this year's show will see a number of global debuts from Formula E manufacturers such as Audi, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz sister brand Smart - not to mention the physical launch of our very own Gen2 car on March 6. Yep, we're pretty excited about that one.
So, with just weeks to go until the covers come off the latest and greatest automotive machines to hit the streets at the Palexpo centre in Geneva, between March 6 and 18 2018, we've put together a handy guide of what to look out for in the world of all-electric mobility.
Audi E-Tron
Despite Audi Sport Abt Shaeffler's recent troubles in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, Audi has been busily working on its first mass-production EV - the E-Tron. After first showing the Sportback version of the all-electric SUV for the first time at the Shanghai motor show last year, the model will have a range of more than 500km (311 miles) when it arrives in dealerships later this year. Rather than have a stationary show car, the Audi E-Tron will be driving around on the streets outside Geneva.
Formula E Gen2 car
Next up it's our very own Gen2 Formula E Car. Fans and followers of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship will have already seen the digital images of the car, first released on January 30 2018. Like what you see? Well, funnily enough, so do we and we're pretty confident you're going to like it even more when the covers come off the real deal on March 6. Keep an eye on our site and social to be the first to know about it.
Jaguar I-Pace
With two all-electric racing cars already on the Formula E grid, it makes sense that British carmaker Jaguar takes that technology to the streets. With that, Geneva will be the first time the world will see and experience the production-ready all-electric I-Pace SUV. Like it's direct competitor the Audi E-Tron, the I-Pace will be prowling around on the streets of Geneva as well as stationary on the show stand.
Smart FourTwo EQ
After Mercedes-Benz announced its arrival into Formula E for Season Six of the series, the marque's city car sister brand Smart will be in Geneva with it's latest all-electric creation, the ForTwo EQ. Paving the way for more electric cars from parent company Daimler, expect the ForTwo EQ to be a more real-world interpretation of the radical concept the marque revealed at the Frankfurt show last year.
