Geneva Motor Show

Well as everyone is checking out all the cars at the Geneva Motor Show on all the car sites out there, Im thinking that it's about time that we see some new cars from the Marques across the world!

With every car maker showcasing new cars, new versions, and face-lifted models, whats great to see is that the design factories that are well known for their out-of-the-world models (likes of RUF, Mansory, and Abt to name but a few!) are out in force showing their visions of current models in a different guise.

Now, although they could be the concepts that are mules (all show of their designs but you cant turn the key and go!) some of them, such as the Mansory Rolls Royce Ghost are available to buy. Now, the Ghost' they have tuned (and in my opinion ruined!) is their twist on what they call the ultimate luxury. I mean maybe this is to someones taste, others, a joke. But you cant knock what they do. Not to say that all the cars from concept houses are great, but they are the ones that push the envelope. Take a look at the Bugatti Veyron. The epitome of car, but these design houses dont see the epitome, they see it as a starting point. So this leads me to a simple question:

Should these design houses do this or should they just start from the ground up? Like the rest of the manufacturers have done, or just be the "consultants" being asked for their "opinion" or ideas as to what they thing can, or should be done to make the cars better, or just build the "AMG badged" version of the car as an addition to the lineup???

My answer is simple. Do it. Like modifiers everywhere, they take a car and tune it, change the aerodynamics of the car to make it faster, louder and more bespoke.

Respect is due to these Companies. They're doing a great job.
