The Paris Motor Show 2016 kicked off on the very first day of October, setting the stage for the most innovative carmakers from all over the world. While big brands such as Ford, Volvo, Aston Martin and Rolls Royce are a no-show in Paris, the event really hasn't suffered a shortage of showstoppers.
We've selected five of the best cars on display at the Paris Motor Show. Whether they are concept cars or already headed for production, these impressive vehicles are sending hardcore auto enthusiasts into overdrive.
Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta
First on the list is a vehicle that's blazing a trail, literally. Ferrari's LaFerrari Aperta reaches a top speed of 217 miles per hour, with 663 pound-feet of torque. The 949 horsepower comes by way of an electric motor and a robust 6.3-liter V12 engine. It's the kind of firepower that allows the vehicle to jet off from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) in under 3 seconds.
This convertible is a rare find — only 209 were made. The $2 million gem of a car sold off 200 even before it was unveiled to the public. The other nine units are said to be kept by Ferrari to showcase at events in celebration of the legendary carmaker's 70th anniversary.
