Motor Show.
From 7 to 17 March 2013, an impressive display of innovations and firsts awaits you at the Motor Show in Geneva: around 1,000 models, with creativity and class, will compete for your attention.
The International Motor Show in Geneva is one of the 5 most important automotive trade fairs in the world. It is the only one in Europe to take place in spring each year. 260 exhibitors present the latest technology, modern designs, innovative materials and unusual colours, suitable for all requirements in terms of comfort, user-friendliness, safety and ecology. It is well worth a visit to the new hall 3 and the extended hall 6: more space for even better experiences.
