Before you get too excited about the Superleggera video embedded below, we should note that it wasn’t filmed on a track or beautiful byway running through the Dolomites. It’s simply a video of the key-lime Lambo spinning around on its pedestal at the Geneva Motor Show. While we’d rather see the LP570-4 Superleggera in action, the video does provide an intimate, f0ur-minute look at every crease, line and corner. Oh and there’s some sexy, dolled-up European show models mixed in too.

For a quick recap, Lamborghini sawed over 150 lbs. off the Gallardo, bringing it under 3,000. The Bull also added 10 horses, making for a 3.4-second 0 to 62 sprint and 202 mph top speed. [via Carscoop]

The Audi A1 became official in the halls of the Geneva Motor Show just days ago, and Audi has followed that up with details on the S-Line package for the small hatchback. The S-Line Sport package will bring a little extra zip and pep to the A1 through stiffened suspension and larger wheels and tires. The package offers 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels, adjustable suspension kit and leather sports seats and steering wheel.

Conveying that subtle sportiness to the world, Audi also provides a variety of body work including a new roof spoiler, side sills, modified bumpers and larger air intakes. These body upgrades will also be available in the S-Line Exterior package, which doesn’t include the wheels, leather or suspension kit. [via MotorAuthority]

Wow, we thought we’d seen some weird, head-jerking concepts and sports cars in Geneva already, but this one takes the pie–probably the entire bakery. The car was built as a piece of hate-art an homage to Swiss racing legend Fredy Lienhard.

Designed by Frank Sbarro, the one-off concept is just wrong from every conceivable angle. The recessed front end looks like something out of a horror film, complete with what appear to the naked eye as limb-shearing saw blades. The flat windshield. The flaring nostrils. The up-swinging cockpit entry. Wrong, wrong and wronger.

The only thing right about the concept is the 550 hp Ferrari V12 engine fitted in back. But even that waste of a good engine should be construed as indisputably wrong. [via Nitrobahn]

We were pretty excited about the Carlsson C25 when we saw it previewed last week, but seeing it in the flesh is much better than the renderings. If you told us that a new supercar featured a silver and black paint scheme with bright orange accents, our gag reflex would go into action, but seeing it under the lights on the showroom floor, we like the look. One of just 25 C25′s being built, the color scheme was chosen by the customer in question.

We’ve seen Geneva’s biggest superstars in the metal and carbon, and now it’s time to see them in action. Joining our just-published video of the Audi-RS5 is a video of Citroen’s jaw-dropping Survolt concept. There is a glaring lack of details surrounding the Survolt concept, but you’ll forget all about that as you watch it share the spotlight with a sexy, red-lipped Euro-vixen all dressed up in her best sequins and heels (and later leather for you rambunctious types). This one sure beats whatever work you were going to be doing in the next minute and a half. [via egmCarTech]

Audi presented its new 2011 RS5 coupe at the Geneva Motor Show and now has a little video to show that the two-door isn’t just a pretty, rouged face. Powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine with seven-speed dual-clutch, the RS5 is pulled by 450 horses, making for a 62 mph run of 4.6 seconds and 155 mph top speed. The coupe includes quattro all-wheel drive with a new crown gear differential.

Now, roll that mouse until you hit “Continue” and see all those pieces in action. You know you’re curious. [via MotorAuthority]

What good is the Geneva Motor Show if you can’t learn about slight improvements upon European supercars that you may or may not have known even exist? The Gumpert Apollo S isn’t a 2010 release, but it may just be saying hello to you for the first time.

Gumpert has made a few improvements on its supercar that it showcased at Geneva, including adding 50 horses (up to 750 hp) by improving cooling and optimizing engine control. Gumpert has also shortened the gear shifts as low as 40 milliseconds, making for smoother shifting.

The German automaker has also introduced a right-hand version and updated the Apollo S with improved downforce from new tail flaps and LED running lights up front. [via AutoBlog]

The Bufori Geneva saloon pictured above certainly looks like an expensive gentleman’s car. Unfortunately for the driver tucked behind that never-ending front-end, it looks a little like the car of a gentleman that can’t really afford a proper Rolls or Bentley so has opted for a Malaysian knock-off instead. In fact, we’re pretty confident that if street husslers could figure out a way of stashing large luxury sedans on a street corner, they’d be dealing in Bufori Genevas.

We’re not generally huge fans of Mansory’s work. Just take a look at what they did to the Rolls Royce Ghost if you’re wondering why. But there’s something alright about the Mansory G-Couture. Sure it sounds like the name of a gay rapper. Sure you don’t really need carbon fiber woven all over top your jeep. But, then again, you don’t really need a Mercedes G 55 AMG either. So we’re giving a rare nod in Mansory’s direction here.
