The 2011 Geneva Motor Show has been a huge hit this year with some great new models, tuned cars, upcoming concepts, and sophisticated show car girls. With an auto show as large as this one, you’re not going to find girls in skimpy clothing showing off asses and boobs. Instead, we have some of the more professional women on the car scene here, displaying some of the best cars in the world. The Geneva Show has not yet disappointed, and there are still more cars to be showcased over the next week. We’re assuming this isn’t the last of the car girls to reveal the new rides, however these quality photos are tough to come by. Stay tuned for more updates from the 2011 Geneva car show, as there are several cars you don’t want to miss, and of course babes galore.

Tuning company Alpina released their BMW B5 Bi-Turbo Touring edition at the Geneva Auto Show this week. The car is based on the BMW F10 5-series 550i, and challenges the BMW M5 with some new and old features. Almost a year ago, Alpina revealed the B5 biturbo sedan version, and still today it is ahead of the M5, while the new touring or wagon style features mostly the same specifications. It comes powered by the 4.4-liter V8, which is twin turbocharged, and tuned to produce 507 PS and 700 Nm of torque. These numbers are precisely 100 PS and 100 Nm of torque more than the 5-series. At the track, the ZF eight-speed Switch-Tronic automatic gearbox allows the BMW B5 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The top speed has been limited to 300 km/h by Alpina, while the fuel economy drops to 10.9 liters per 100km/h. Pricing for these modifications start at €98,800.

The guys at Carlsson brought their A-game to the Geneva Motor Show with a new version of the C25 called the Royale, based on the Mercedes SL 65 AMG. The tuning firm announced a limited run of 25 units, and the highly modified coupe already has six orders placed. These will be delivered sometime in 2011, while future orders for the C25 Royale take six months to complete and ship out. When comparing the factory Mercedes SL 65 AMG, the Royale weighs 180 kilograms lighter, and this was accomplished with the extensive use of carbon fiber, found on the hood and new roof. Other lightweight components are the full ceramic brake system, which are half the weight of the stock Mercedes SL65 AMG parts. However, the styling and weight reduction aren’t the only parts that Carlsson focused on, the performance under the hood is just as impressive as the exterior.

Here is another unique tuning job performed by the guys at Mansory on the Mercedes SLS AMG. The supercar turned out much different in terms of styling compared to the factory model. Called the Cormeum, an odd name for a car I say, the style of this Mercedes is signed by Kourosh Mansory, the head designer and owner of the tuning company. The mods are extreme, and include new headlights similar to the Ferrari 599, a new front spoiler, larger air intakes, and F1 inspired front end. Several brake air ducts made their way into the body lines, while a rear spoiler fitted with a large air diffuser rounds out the rear. The world renowned tuners didn’t stop with just the exterior, however they boosted the power figures equally.

At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, the tuners from Techart plan to reveal their Porsche Cayenne Turbo called the Magnum. It consists of a new aggressive front bumper, extended wheel arches, and vented hood. Modifications to the side sills and rear spoiler were also performed, while the tuning firm added larger alloy rims at the corners. Techart didn’t cut corners though, they installed a TA 058/T1 power kit to boost the figures to 560 PS and 780 Nm of torque. This is an increase of 60 PS and 80 Nm of torque over the factory model. The Porsche Cayenne Magnum can now sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, reach 200 km/h in 15.8 seconds, and accomplish a top speed of 287 km/h. Pricing for the tuning package has not yet been released, but should be available once the car show goes underway.
