So the covers have been lifted, the show cars have been rolled out and the industry bosses have finished their speeches – ending the first press day of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. It’s been a stellar event, jam-packed with new reveals, cutting-edge concepts and visions of the future of motoring.

We’ve been hoofing it around the halls, and have worked out the 10 best cars to come out of this year’s show – and here they are.

Ferrari 488 Pista

The 488 Pista is a lightweight version of the regular 488

It’s 90 kilograms lighter than the car upon which it is based, and that’s down to the use of carbon-fibre on the roof, bumpers and rear spoiler.

Toyota GR Supra Concept

This concept revives the iconic Supra name

Built in collaboration with BMW, the new Supra isn’t destined to arrive until next year – though this concept is easily one of the most impressive of the entire show.

Range Rover SV Coupe

Inside, there are four dedicated seats finished in quilted leather, and the entire car will be hand-assembled by the Special Vehicle Operations team who head up the company’s bespoke projects.

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe

All versions get 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive, with power sent to the wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox providing fast, seamless gear changes.

BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe

The M8 Concept is due to enter production in 2019

BMW has already confirmed that the regular 8 Series will be entering production in 2019, and a performance-orientated version will follow as part of that range.

Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo

Additional protection has been applied to the wheel arches and door sills, meaning that the Mission E Cross Turismo should be a little more adept at travelling on the rough stuff than the regular Mission E Concept.

Aston Martin Lagonda Vision Concept

The Vision Concept has been designed with autonomy in mind, so the steering wheel can retract fully to give the best possible cabin space while the vehicle drives itself.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder

The Huracan Performante Spyder is powered by a V10 engine
(Lamborghini)

It’ll crack the sprint from 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds, while the roof takes just 17 seconds to open or close at speeds of up to 30mph.

Ssangyong Musso

The Musso receives a range of quality updates
(Ssangyong)

Inside, the cabin has been significantly upgraded, with a large eight-inch colour touchscreen fitted as standard, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on higher-spec models.

McLaren Senna GTR Concept

The McLaren Senna GTR is a track-focused version of McLaren's latest hypercar
(McLaren)

It’s powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine found in the road car, and has a claimed 814bhp. Just 75 examples are to be built when the car heads to production next year.
