The 8 Hottest Track Cars of the 2015 Geneva Auto Show

More and more makers of high-performance cars have gotten hip to the idea of producing track-oriented special models. These sorts of models range from those used in single-marque racing series, cars for enthusiast drivers to drive at private circuits or club track days, or simply extreme street machines. The recent trend was in full flower at the Geneva auto show, a location that;s proven to be an especially fertile garden for supercars and their racier counterparts.
