Bugatti Chiron leads a wealth of performance cars at next week's Geneva motor show - Roadshow

McLaren continues its aggressive cadence of performance cars all based on the same platform, unveiling the all new 570GT at Geneva. Where McLaren focused on race engineering in its previous models, developing a carbon fiber tub for the cabin with bolt-on suspension pieces and high-revving V-8 engines, the 570GT shows more emphasis on cabin comfort.

Along with a suspension tuned for ride comfort, the 570GT features an accessible luggage under a side-opening rear window, power adjustable seats and full leather interior. McLaren's comfort focus can be seen as the second phase in its grand plan to go up against Ferrari in the supercar set.

Jaguar F-type SVR

We first saw the SVR name applied to the Range Rover Sport, and now Jaguar adopts it for the F-type, signaling a new performance division for the Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover company. The F-type SVR, to be unveiled in Geneva, is based on the F-type R model, with its supercharged V-8 engined tuned up to 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

This new, high performance variant of the F-type will be available as both a coupe and roadster, like its base model, and will be somewhat more affordable than most of the exotics in Geneva, with a price point of just over $125,000.

Lexus LC 500h

We saw Lexus' new sports car, the LC 500 at the Detroit auto show earlier this year, and the company follows up with a hybrid version, promising equal driving pleasure but much greater efficiency. At preview event before the Geneva show we got a look at this gorgeous new sports car, which couples an electric drive motor to its 3.5-liter V-6 gasoline engine.

To eliminate the ropiness of typical hybrid car acceleration, Lexus adds a four speed fixed gear transmission to the LC 500h's driveline, complementing the existing electronic variable transmission. Lexus engineers insist it will deliver more satisfying sports car performance, living up to the dramatic looks of the body.

Techrules Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle

Frankly, this one sounds a bit like vaporware, but Chinese company Techrules promises a supercar with 1,030 horsepower and a range of more than 1,200 miles. The company has only released a teaser photo ahead of the unveiling, and notes the car uses turbines that generate electricity for the drive motors. The turbines can run on a variety of fuels, such as gasoline, bio-diesel, propane and compressed natural gas.

We will be eager to see what Techrules has in store, and whether it is wishful thinking or a true breakthrough.
