The world’s biggest car brands are converging at the Geneva Motor Show this week to show off their best efforts of the year. Thousands will attend Europe’s first major motor show of the year—and its most important. Electric technology, autonomous driving, and pure horsepower were the dominant themes. Here are the highlights.

Ferrari 812 Superfast - The 812 Superfast has a 12-cylinder, 800-horsepower engine that accelerates to 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour in as little as 2.9 seconds, making it Ferrari’s most powerful production model ever. Priced at ‎€292,000 ($308,000) in Italy, the new flagship is already sold out for 2017. Photographer: Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg

Lexus LS 500h - Lexus’s newest hybrid sedan is aimed squarely at Mercedes-Benz and Tesla. The LS 500h is an electric- and gasoline-fueled version of Lexus’s flagship sedan, with a V6 gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, a small lithium-ion battery, and the equivalent of 354 horsepower.

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet - This will be the world’s most expensive SUV with a price of $500,000. Limited to a run of 99, the SUV will have a V12 engine and a landaulet style, with a front row that’s covered and a retractable fabric roof in the back. Photographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg

Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e Concept - With this concept car, Bentley is exploring the possibility of a true all-electric vehicle for production. It’s a separate endeavor from the recently promised plug-in hybrid Bentayga SUV, due in 2018. Photographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg

Pagani Huayra Roadster - Pagani unveils its latest million-dollar, hand-built supercar, the Huayra Roadster. The machine is faster than its forebear even though it has the same guts of its predecessor: a 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged Mercedes-Benz AMG V12 engine and a seven-speed, single-clutch paddleshift gearbox.

Volkswagen Sedric - The Sedric, derived from “self-driving car,” has sensors galore. Drivers (passengers?) would be able to speak commands to tell the car where to go, where to stop, and other instructions. Photographer: Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg

McLaren 720S - British automaker McLaren’s 720S is a supercar even more extreme than its predecessor, the 650S Coupé.

Renault Alpine - Priced at €58,500, it’ll be the French carmaker’s most expensive passenger auto and can hit 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour in 4.5 seconds — about as quickly as a Porsche 911 Carrera. Photographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg
