PARIS—A picture is worth a thousand words, so we’ll let the images do the talking with a minimum of text to keep your senses feasting on these images.

 

  1. Peugeot 3008 SUV

Peugeot’s second generation 3008 is now a proper SUV. Improved build quality, a lighter EMP2 platform, and more efficient engines and transmissions mean Peugeot is finally going mainstream, but retaining its resolutely French flair.

 

  1. Peugeot 5008 SUV

As above, but only bigger, wider and roomier. The 5008 loses its third row seven-seater option, but becomes more viable for use worldwide.

In Asia, South America and Europe, Peugeot’s biggest markets, SUVs are in huge demand.

 

  1. Peugeot Traveller

The upmarket van is becoming more serious.

The new Traveler shares its underpinnings with the 3008 and 5008, is available in length from 4.6, 4.9 and 5.2 meters, and in six- to nine-seater configurations.

This is the open-topped 963 hp hypercar’s first public appearance.

With the roof gone, expect the overall aural experience to be overwhelmingly unforgettable.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT-R

  1. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT-R

A wider, lighter, more focused AMG GT-R variant is the German firm’s take on a road-legal race car. It has an adjustable rear wing, wider hips and fenders, firmer suspension with lessons gleaned from AMG’s GT3 sports car racing experience around the world.

 

The matte finish? Tick Mercedes Green Hell Magno on the spec list.

 

  1. Porsche Panamera 4S Diesel

Porsche’s second generation and definitely more handsome Panamera foor-door super sedan gets a new variant in the form of an all-wheel drive diesel—faster, lighter and more efficient.

 

A full tank of diesel has a theoretical range of 1,000 kilometers, enough to get you from Germany to Italy on a single tank.

 

  1. Audi R8 V10 Spyder

With Audi’s fastest production car, the R8 V10 gets much attention, thanks to its exploits on the road and on the track.

The futuristic sports car loses its top in Paris, and looks absolutely bonkers in the process. More gorgeous than ever.
