2017 Automation Geneva International Motor Show

The Sprinter 200 R by Cornaldie Automotive

Cornaldie Automotive Company Ltd is proud to introduce this year’s entry into the Sport Hatchback Segment: The 2017 Sprinter 200 R. This inline 4, multi-point injected beast produces 300 hp and accelerates to 100 kmh in 4.5 seconds, 0.1 second faster than the A250 AMG Mercedes. It has AWD with an electric 60/40 split differential that sends most of the power to the rear wheels, so you can still enjoy those powerslides. Top speed is limited to 260 kph and completes the quarter miles in around 13 seconds. But don’t for a second think this car is all about straight line performance, it’s all aluminum construction makes it stiff, and double wishbone front and rear suspension, couples with 18" 200+ series tyres gives you enough confidence to tackle any corner. See our brochure below. MSRP: $36,100

Disclaimer: All models shown on this display are fully loaded with every option.

The AL Flusso XLE

Experience The AL Flusso XLE featuring business like styling, luxurious accommodations, flying performance, and high tech safety features.

At the front, we have bi-xenon head lamps which follow the road as the driver goes accompanied by LED DRLs, a clever front collision warning/parking system which will prevent drivers from running into any obstructions in the road such as other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, etc, radar guided cruise control, and road abnormality detection which will adjust the suspension to suit preventing discomfort while driving and accelerated tire wear and misalignment.

On the sides of the Flusso, we have 19" executive rims, blind spot monitoring, power folding mirrors, keyless door entry, and a system that, when parked, detects hazards that may endanger you and/or the car when opening the door and alerts you.

At the rear, we have a sleek rear light design with sequential turn signals, an electric hands free boot lid, and a rear collision warning/parking system complete with a rear facing camera.

It’s not just the aesthetics that make this car as comfortable and safe as it is. All the components that lie underneath the exquisite body of the Flusso have been tuned to make a more comfortable experience. For starters, the 3.8 L Twin Pro Turbo V6 produces 530 HP smoothly through AL’s 9 speed auto transmission which transfers the power to AL’s AWD system. Couple that with double wishbone suspension at the front, a cleverly engineered rear multi link suspension, 6 and 4 piston front and rear vented disc brakes, and a cleverly designed monocoque aluminum chassis and you’ve got a smooth cruiser for the road.

# Presents: the facelifted Berlose

_The definitive premium British saloon._

Launched back in 2014, the Mk 5 Berlose is perhaps the version of the car yet. Now, it’s been refined and improved to meet ever stronger competition in the executive sedan market.

Tasteful, elegant styling meets great performance and superb luxury; the Berlose is comfortable, poised and commanding, and remains an excellent long distance cruising machine.

Berlose Lex in Faded Silver

Understated yet still emitting presence, the new styling of the Berlose builds on the previous version to incorporate sharper features and lighter detailing, creating a graceful yet bold saloon that is well suited to both the streets of Mayfair and the open road.

Inside, a light and airy interior can be found, decked with excellent technology including a 10" touch screen display, similar to that found in the Tauga, and Gecko™ voice control. As standard, a specially made Harman International 8 monitor sound system is available on all trims for astounding in-car audio, complemented by the option for rear-screen displays.

Berlose S in Erin Racing Turquoise

Erin’s incorporation of aluminium panels along with standard steel ones* helps to reduce weight without compromising on safety or chassis stiffness. Benefitting the excellent chassis is our ADRAC (Adaptive-Reaction) Suspension system, a limited active system that comes as standard on all trims, allowing for uncomplicated adjustment of the ride to suit your needs.

A complete range of Pureon Inline 6 engines plus one V8 are found on the Berlose, providing smooth and efficient power across the range. Delivering this is your choice of an 8 Speed Erin PureShift Auto or exclusive 6 Speed Single Clutch Sequential connected to a limited slip diff at the rear, with both options for rear wheel drive and AllDrive AWD.

*Yeah, this is a shift from current company lore. All will be fully explained after UE4!

Berlose Touring Vox in Painted Sapphire - new for 2017

The Berlose is built on a passion for delivering class-defining luxury, performance and refinement, combining classic British elegance with the latest in cutting-edge engineering. Easy to use everyday, fully customisable to meet your needs and and all-round brilliant car; this is the definitive premium British saloon.

Top: Berlose Lex in Chelsea Cream // Bottom: Berlose Vox in Royal Blue

Plus, as part of the Eco-V8 development programme, a new 3.0l V8 is being added to the range. A competent and torque-y power unit, it marks the first time a V8 has been used on a non-performance version of the Berlose since 1992. Availible in UK and US markets.

#EADC Corsair | Standard V12, i6 and V12 Cabriolet

As we revealed the Corsair CRX, it would only be right to show off the standard models of the EADC Corsair.




The Standard model V12 Corsair is EADC’s top of the line Luxury Sports Coupe/GT. The Corsair has a 7.1 NA V12 producing 565hp. The lack of a turbo provides a consistent and tame power curve, while still producing enough power to reach 200mph. Inside, the interior is filled with gadgets, SONY surround sound audio, Luxury Heated Leather bucket seats and a 6 speed manual gearbox.
The Corsair is also equipped with an electronic diff and ActiveSport Air suspension, letting the car slip and slide to the comfort of the driver. Prices will start from £46,340, an absolute bargain for what you’re getting. Expect to see this in EADC Showrooms by May in Europe, America and Asia!



The Standard i6 Corsair is the more budget trim of the car. This however doesnt mean we’ve skimped out on quality though. Under the bonnet is a 3.5L i6 derived from the V12 also found in the Corsair. This i6 produces 277 hp, and keeps the smooth power curve found in the V12 as both engines are naturally aspirated. Inside, the interior is toned down compared with the V12 Spec, but still impressive. This i6 spec is also equipped with an electronic diff, 6 speed manual and the ActiveSport Air suspension. Prices start at £31,640 and the car will be sold in the US, Europe and Asia.



The V12 Cabriolet is the ultimate luxury trim of the Corsair. With luxury interior, a 9 speed automatic, hydro-pneumatic active suspension, and an electronic diff with the same 565hp engine from the standard V12, this truly is the ultimate luxury coupe. And along with the V12, comes 200mph and a 0-60 of 4.7s. Sure the mileage is a bit poor, but who cares when you’ll feel like the world is moving around you! Prices start at £48,580 and will be available in the US, Europe and Asia.

Here it is… the latest incarnation of the ultimate premium automobile:

#Zavir Espada 2017

The thoroughly refreshed sixth generation of the Espada, here, in Geneva, showing it’s two faces:

The car has been deeply updated not only from the outside, but also from the inside with over 1200 technical modifications* to keep delivering our customers the best possible quality, and thus comfort, performance and safety. The new Espada handles better, rides more comfortably, and is faster, safer and more economical than the current model**. But getting back to the outside…

The front got updated with the latest form of Zavir’s Flowing Light design (with the support of Luceat Studio - thanks @titleguy1), taking styling cues from the recent Zavir Squalo, and technology debuted in the last year Luna - laser headlights, which greatly improve night visibility, thus raising the ride safety.
The side of the Espada got new, sleek handles known from Squalo and Z Volante and a redesigned chrome trim, resembling that from the Squalo, yet still having it’s unique, distinguishable look, including the side trim level badging.


The rear of the car is the most recognisable part of the Espada - probably also making it the most recognisable Zavir model. Although it keeps a high level of similarity with all other Zavir cars utilising the Flowing Light design, it’s taillight shape is completely unique, and made possible thanks to the lights being full LED units.

Effect? While you might find as good looking limousine, we are convinced that the Turismo is the most elegant estate on the market.

And for the end, some example data sheets for the new Espada (the two variants being on display):

The new Espada will be available in the european markets from April, starting from 35 999 € for the base Berlina 2.0 TIDe Stilo, with the same choice of engines as the current model (rounded horsepower figures):

  • 1.9 diesel I4 (150)
  • 3.2 diesel V6 (250)
  • 2.0 petrol I4 (190; TIDe)
  • 2.7 petrol V6 (250)
  • 3.3 petrol V6 (300)
  • 3.8 petrol V6 (350)
  • 4.6 petrol V8 (420)
  • Sportivo variant - 4.3 V8 (530)

Z Sportivo variant will follow soon. Test drives are available for the automotive press.


Zavir. Il vantaggio della tecnologia.

Now that the whole Corsair range has been shown, I feel that it is one of the best front-engined sports car lineups in existence. However, there is a huge gap from the i6 to the V12 models. Can it be filled by a turbocharged version of the i6, and if not, by what?

By a V8! :grin:

@abg7 @szafirowy01 Clearly the best option is a turbo V8

But yeah, I am thinking that there is a bit of a gap between the V12 and i6. I just havent really figured out what engine to use for it. As much as a turbo would be nice, I kinda wanted the Corsair to stay away from turbos since one of their main selling points is the smooth drive due to lack of turbo lag

2 Likes

Hmm… A 60 degree crossplane V8 might be smooth enough. And such engine, of 4.7 litre displacement, could be derived from that V12, as the I6 is. With a power of just above 400 hp it would fit perfectly in the middle and wouldn’t need to use a turbocharger :slight_smile:

Well i guess ill wait til UE4 for that :smiley:
