10. Renault EZ - Ultimo
The Renault EZ-Ultimo is a Best Concept Cars 2018 that made it to production, that the French company unveiled in 2018, but it appeared in the 2020 Geneva Motor Show too.
A fully autonomous car, the EZ-Ultimo rounds out Renault’s trilogy of unique concept robo-vehicles designed for sale and shared mobility. It joins the EZ-Go and the EZ-Pro, also unveiled in 2018.
The EZ-Go had a top speed of only 48 km/h (30 mph), so the EZ-Ultimo may have similar limitations. Powered by an all-electric drivetrain, the unique concept car is intended to be offered as a service for "a single trip, a circuit or a day booking" provided by premium travel companies and resorts.
Of course, the big news is that the EZ-Ultimo features level 4 autonomous driving capability. This means it can drive itself without human input both in the city and on the highway.
To do so, it uses a number of sensors and cameras fitted in small boxes and placed in the corners of the body.
This 6 meters long (20 feet) concept car ever also rides on an active suspension system that lowers chassis when stopped and raises the body by several centimeters when on the move.

9. Golden Sahara II
Goodyear and Klairmont Kollections unveiled restored Golden Sahara II on translucent Goodyear tires at the 2019/2020 Geneva International Motor Show.
An iconic custom car of the 1950s and 60s, the Golden Sahara II was one of the first concepts of autonomous car for sale and was fitted with glowing, see-through tires that were custom made by Goodyear.
Developed by Jim Street and legendary custom car designer George Barris, the Golden Sahara II was a platform for testing new electronic systems. It featured an automatic braking system that used sensors to detect potential objects in the car’s path.
The car’s tires were developed by Goodyear using Neothane, a translucent form of synthetic rubber, and contained internal lighting, which allowed them to glow.
This car sat in a garage for 50 years until Klairmont Kollections purchased the 350 000$ vehicle from Mecum Auctions in May 2018. Sadly there are no specs given of this car ever.

8. Nissan IMQ
The 4.5 meters (15 feet) long unique concept, while likely to be toned down for production, is an athletic-looking crossover with multiple sharp lines.
It doesn’t have a GTR motor inside it. There is an e-Power powertrain instead, which means it’s an EV. The battery is the same technology as in Nissan’s Leaf, but it’s smaller here because the 1.5-litre petrol acts as a range extender to give you more juice.
The engine never drives the wheels, that’s the job of electric motors on each axle, which have combined total outputs of 335 hp.

7. Toyota GR Supra GT4
The Supra GT4 was developed by the Japanese company Toyota Motorsport in Europe for GT4 series racing, which the company claims is one of the fastest growing racing series and also one of the best concept cars that made it to production in key markets like North America, Europe and Asia.
Because it’s a concept, Toyota gets to be pretty tight-lipped about details, but it keeps the BMW 3 liter inline turbo 6-cylinder from the real car. So to guess the specs of this car, lets start from the hp.
It is expected that this race car might have a hp around 400. With that engine it might be able to go from 0 to 60 mph (98 km/h) in just 4.1 seconds with launch control and on to a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
GT4-spec cars usually cost less than 200 000 $ so it will be an affordable option and a good start for drivers who eventually want to join other series in the future.
The GR Supra GT4 Concept is even more light-weight than the commercial Toyota Supra, and is equipped with race specific parts such as roll cage, suspention, brake and rear-wings.

6. Piëch Mark Zero
Piëch Automotive, a German-Swiss automaker based out of Zürich and Munich, introduced the Mark Zero in this Geneva Motor Show. It is a high-powered two-door EV with grand tourer aspirations.
Charging electric cars takes longer than fueling petrol cars. The cells in this electric car support an unusually high recuperation rate and create the conditions for the Mark Zero to be 80 per cent charged in 5 minutes, according to Piëch Automotive to be concept car for sale in the future.
This car has three motors: one front asynchronous and two rear synchronous motors, which can deliver just over 200 horsepower each.
With that being said, company did not fit an additional engine cooling system because the batteries can be air-cooled alone due to their low heat generation. This also saved the car from being 2 tons, it weighs 1.8 tons.
With 600 hp in total, this car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (98 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. Top speed is predictably low rated at 250 km/h (155 mph), because EV’s tend to run out of puff the faster they go. Plus price of this car is estimated to be around 400 000 $.

5. Nissan GT-R50
This car is the result of a collaborative effort between Nissan and the legendary Italian design house, Italdesign. Built to commemorate the overlapping 50th anniversary of both the Skyline GT-R nameplate and the birth of Italdesign.
The GT-R50 is based on a production 2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo model, but Italdesign took responsibility for developing, engineering, and one of rare concept cars also, The GT-R50 is building the final product ever. Output from the handcrafted V-6 gets a sizable boost, and it now produces 710 hp.
Production of the GT-R50 will be limited to 50 copies at 1.16 million $. There are no acceleration or top speed claims. However considering the horsepower this monster has, it might be able to hop to 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in less than 3 seconds and predictably can go faster than 322 km/h (200 mph).

4 ARCFOX GT Street & Track
In case you hadn't heard of them before, Arcfox is owned by Beijing Electric car (BJEV) a division of Beijing Auto. The flagship vehicle of the Arcfox, the Arcfox GT reflects the extreme pursuit of speed, technology and design.
It is one such car, powered by four electric motors generating a 1,020 hp in total. Thanks to it’s lightweight construction and staggering power output, the GT is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.59 seconds, just a reminder that is Bugatti Chiron territory.
Plus the high energy density lithium battery, provides ample energy for long driving range as more than 400 km (285 miles).
It’s top speed is going to be precisely plus 257 km/h (160+ mph) and it’s price is going to be around 1.1 million $. These specs I gave are for the Street version of this car and it’s a big part of the company’s plan to assert itself outside of China.
However, customers looking for a more track-focused car, can by the Track Edition. Arcfox GT Track Edition uses the latest Formula E technology, putting down a 1,609 hp. Sadly that is the only performance statistic of this car.
Both Street and Track Editions get an all-electric powertrain car for sale, which means their fuel type is electric. They have a coupe type of chassis and two door as exterior specifications.

3. ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH VISION
The Vanquish Vision Concept, as revealed at the 2019/2020 Geneva motor show, foresees not only the return of the Vanquish nomenclature to the Aston Martin range, but also tackle supercars like the McLaren 720S, Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Lamborghini Huracan Evo.
The Vanquish Vision unique Concept borrows heavily from the Valkyrie in the design department and it will become the company’s entry-level supercar. Like its brother AM-RB 003 ,which got it’s debut in this same motor show, Vanquish Vision is set to become a more practical and road-friendly version of the Valkyrie.
While the Valkyrie and 003 are carbon-fiber cars, the Vanquish will feature a bespoke bonded aluminium chassis. This "downgrade" is part of Aston Martin’s strategy to make this supercar more affordable and accessible to the masses.
This mid-engined supercar of Aston Martin, will be powered by the same twin-turbo V6 that will be found in the incoming AM-RB 003.
Aston Martin cars used to have the V-12 powerplant and the turbocharged V-8, but from now on this British company is going to build its own engines, rather than relying on technical partner Mercedes-AMG.
Aston Martin did not give any performance test results, but if it’s aiming for Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren specs it seems likely to be producing in excess of 600 hp with 338km/h (210 mph) capability a given.
When it comes to acceleration, it is expected the Vanquish Vision to be able to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standing start in less than 3 seconds.
Also this monster migth surpass the 300,000 $ mark given that Aston Martins are usually a bit more expensive than the competition. In addition to these specs, Aston Martin Vanquish Vision has a coupe chassis, two doors and it’s fuel is petrol.
A ’hyper SUV’ car from Italy is called the Kangaroo. It looks like a supercar, but with adjustable suspension, it's said to also have the off-roading ability of an SUV. The Kangaroo's ride height can vary from just 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) in "Racing" mode to 26 centimeters (10.2 inches) in "Off-Road" mode.
As a result, GFG Style says the Kangaroo can be used on any surface, from asphalt to sand to mud. Like many similar supercar concepts, the Kangaroo is designed around an aluminum space frame with carbon-fiber bodywork.
This Electric car has two electric motors, with combined output listed at 482 hp. Also 90-kilowatt-hour battery pack is said to give a driving range of more than 450 kilometers (280 miles) on a charge.
The Kangaroo can hop to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.5 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Sadly no numbers are given for the price of this two door SUV model.

1. ENGLER F.F, SUPERQUAD
Whenever an automotive comes out of Slovakia, it's normally something extreme. Engler Automotive, a budding vehicle manufacturer based in Slovakia, has come to the 2019/2020 Geneva Motor Show with what it proudly claims is a “hypercar killer”.
Engler F.F. Superquad features a V-10 engine that probably be pulled from one of the two cars for sale in the market, Lamborghini Huracan or Audi R8. However it is fitted with the two superchargers to make the extra power, so it comes with a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). Additionally Engler quotes 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.5 seconds and 800 hp.
The Superquad is the first vehicle of it’s kind. There’s no cabin on this Slovakian machine. The driver straddles it like they would on a motorcycle or a quad. The vehicle is the size of a regular car but weighs a lot less, it is 800 kilograms (1763 lbs).
This 2-door, petrol car looks like a hot wheels toy and it will probably be more expensive than it’s rivals in the Geneva Motor Show, with a price tag of 500 000 $.
So this is the coolest unique concept cars 2020 that made it to production for 2019/2020 Geneva Motor Show. I hope you liked the article.
