Last week, as it has done for most of the past century, Geneva played host to its annual motor show. From Abarth to Volkswagen, by way of Ferrari and Lamborghini, more than 100 sparkling new models that we can expect to see rolling on to our streets in the next 12 months were unveiled. However, it's the peculiar prototypes and crazy concepts that provide the added glamour, glitz and kookiness that make the show so interesting. These are the cars, like the Giugiaro Kangaroo superfast electric SUV and the bizarre Rinspeed microSNAP modular minibus, that probably won't make it into mass production, but which give a fascinating insight into the futuristic world of tomorrow's transporters.
