See the rarest new cars and concepts at the Geneva auto show (pictures)

The star of this year's Geneva auto show has to be the Bugatti Chiron, the successor to the Veyron. The Chiron uses a similar 8-liter W-16 engine as the Veyron, but a new turbocharging system brings horsepower to 1,500. However, zero to 62 mph times remain at 2.5 seconds.

Strong design elements make the Chiron an automotive work of art. Bugatti will only build 500 examples, and sell them for $2.6 million each.
