The high-performance C8 Laviolette boasts a potent Audi V8, lightweight construction and styling that's distinctive-- to say the least. A collage of scoops, vents, and metallic accents, the C8 Laviolette rips through 0-60 in 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of around 300 km/h.

Also on display will be the special, limited-production C8 Laviolette 'LM85'. The GT2 inspired model is named after the automaker's LeMans cars, which have been in action since 2002. The special LM85 edition boasts a unique color scheme, upgraded brakes, track-ready tuning and special wheels. It comes with a 400 horsepower, mid-mounted V8 and a six-speed manual gearbox.

A total of 24 LM85 customers will be able to purchase the car, the price of which includes a special LM85 pilot wristwatch and VIP guest treatment at the 2009 24 hours of Le Mans 2009. Check out the pair at the Geneva Motor Show, which opens March 15th.
