Day one of the 2014 Paris Motor Show has been packed with both European-market and global debuts. A full wrap-up will be available tomorrow after the remaining reveals trickle in, but for now, here is everything we have seen so far:
Highlights
- Audi TT Sportback concept – The latest concept in what appears to be Audi’s expanding TT family is perhaps the most production-ready we hae seen yet. It somehow manages to combine the TT’s classic lines with the A5 Sportback’s five-door utility.
- 2016 Jaguar XE – Originally revealed in London back in September, the new 3 Series competitor from the storied British brand is now on full display. Expected in the U.S. as a 2016 model, the XE continues Jaguar’s recent trend of building sleek, dynamic cars with undeniable sex appeal.
- 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT – Slotting below the SLS AMG in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the AMG GT is one of the biggest stories to come out of Paris. Boasting a twin-turbo V8 that produces more than 450 horsepower, the AMG GT should prove a formidable competitor to the Porsche 911.
- Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid – With a powertrain borrowed from the Panamera Hybrid, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid should help solidify Porsche’s reputation for delivering high-class German performance alongside cutting-edge fuel conservation technology.
