2016 Geneva Motor Show - My Pick

1. This is the new Bugatti Chiron and is already officially the world fastest production car!  It is the replacement decade old Bugatti Veyron.  It has 1500hp from the updated W16 engine!  0-100km/hr 2.5 sec with topspeed is electronically limited to 420km/hr.   Bugatti will only produced 500 units and will cost your pocket a mere Euro2.4millions only. If we convert it with today's exchange rate and our 35% car import tax it will cost us a whopping BND$5.2millions!!!!
 
 2.  Koenigsegg Regera, the only hypercar that can rival the topspeed of Bugatti Chiron.  It packed a twin-turbo V8 engine with EV that pump out 1500hp brute power! The car doesn't has a traditional manual or auto transmission, instead it is connected to Koenigsegg Direct Drive Transmission.  (If you want more info on that please go and watch it on Youtube!)

 3.  Lamborghini Centenario.  If you follow the Geneva show for the past few years you will see this coming for Lamborghini to show case an ultra limited edition model with expensive price tag to match.  There will be 20units coupe and 20units roadster with a price tag of Euro1.75millions bucks!  Oh, did I mentioned they already sold all 40units?

 4.  The long awaited replacement for DB9,  this is the newest model design from ground up, Aston Martin DB11!  Under the hood comes fitted with a 5.2litre twin-turbo V12 engine that produced 600hp and push you back to your seat from 0-100km/hr in 3.9sec!

 5.  Porsche 911R. For the Porsche purist!  This car is basically a GT3-RS without the PDK gearbox!  The body livery pay tribute to the original 911R produced back in the 60s!  This model is limited to 991 units only and yes all of them already found a new home.

 6. Maserati Levante.  Another supercar company jumping into the SUV bandwagon.  I am sure this car will be very common sight in Brunei roads once its released.

 7.  Mercedes Benz AMG C43.  For people who can't afford the AMG C63, this is Mercedes take to compete with BMW M435i  I am really digging it, looks like the mini version of S-Class coupe

 8.Toyota C-HR.  Toyota version of taking on the Nissan JUKE.  I personally would like to see this car when it is release in Brunei.  I like Toyota way of design interpretation.  Pretty sure this will be a big hit in Brunei like the Nissan Juke.

 9.  Subaru XV Concept.  The current generation is such a big hit and I am pretty sure this evolution model will be another great model for the Brunei market.

 10. Honda Civic Hatch Concept.  I have yet to see the latest Honda Civic in Brunei.  I have no idea what kind of marketing strategy our local Honda agent have in their sleeve.  They seriously are loosing out on this market.

11.  Audi Q2, the smallest SUV from the Q range.  This will go up against the BMW X1 and Mercedes Benz GLA.

  1. The latest Honda Civic will debut this 12th March 2016 in Thailand. Therefore, I believe we'll only receive the new Civic by the end of this year or early next year. But I'm sure they'll only be importing the low spec non-turbo version, the dated R18 engine damn it............. If the Civic 1.5T vtec enters Brunei market, I'll be more than happy as the engine surpasses German's engine power figures alrd (1.4-1.8-2.0T). But having seen the turbocharged type r was imported by grey importer, no hope eh for the new turbocharged Civic.
