This year’s much awaited show has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus. So, check the highlights of the Geneva International Motor Show 2019 from a female point of view on the latest racers fit for domestic use, grand tourers, electric innovations, super cars and concept dreams by car makers such as Ferrari, Maserati, McLaren, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce! Claudia Peifer’s favourite by a mile is the RR Wraith, which she actually ordered in 6 colours (one for every weekday), as well as the Aston Martin Superleggera just for Sundays…only joking…:-)…

Geneva Motor Show 2020

The Corona virus got in the way for this car show, which was planned to be held between the 5 – 15 March. The 90th edition of the 90th Geneva Motor show is normally held at  The Palexpo – a convention centre placed right by the Geneva Cointrin International Airport. With a vast array of mega motor machines to be gawped at, this amazing show ticks all the boxes for all of you motor fanatics!

History

Starting in 1905, the show has been running for over an entire century! Almost all automobile major internal combustion engines models have been showcased over the years – and that’s not all! The show has also had benzene- and steam-powered cars that were used right at the start of the century – perfect for all the historians! Seeing how motors have changed over the last 100 years is truly fascinating at all. We can’t believe how much they’ve changed! How did we get about back then?! Often at the motor show it is exotic supercars that catches everybody’s attention during their debuts – and we’re not surprised! Some things that re traditionally announced at the amazing motor show are:

• Technical breakouts
• Prototypes
• New equipment
• International partnerships
• Political and social debates

Due to Switzerland not having its own auto industry, the Geneva International Motor Show acts as a level playing field for all of the world’s top automakers!

What’s new for 2020?

With the digital age rapidly advancing, it only made sense for the show to create an official app! Acting as one of the show’s main innovations this year, the application can be downloaded on all iOS and Android phones – for free of charge! Providing in-depth information regarding the show’s exhibitors and its key elements, the app is a must have for all lovers of the motor show. The app also shows you recommendations on where to stay in Geneva and ways in which you can make the most of your trip.

The app is now available to download on the Apple Store and Google Play.

As well as the new, innovative app, this year’s motor show will be split up into three exciting events:

• GIMS VIP Day – Inspirational characters and executives from the automotive industry discuss hot topics that look to shape the future of mobility.
• GIMS Discovery – In hall 7 of Palexpo, there is a unique indoor circuit. Visitors can enjoy a trip round the circuit behind the wheel of an alternative vehicle – be it a hybrid, natural gas, electricity or hydrogen car! A plethora of other attractions make the discovery hall a great meeting place.
• GIMS Tech – A brilliant opportunity to get an exciting look into the mobility technologies and services for the future!

Tickets are now available to buy for the motor show and we hope to see you there!

Shout-out to all petrolheads and those who like to burn a bit of rubber in style: the NEC Motor Show awaits in Birmingham! Vintage cars and modern classics galore, this show offers incredible gems, real finds, unmissable deals and loads of great contacts and networking opportunities. It’s the UK’s biggest classic car show and an absolute ‘must attend’ in every car enthusiast’s calendar. We loved seeing the fantastic restorations of classics like the AC Cobra, the Friskies, a psychedelic Messerschmitt, gorgeous Jaguar models and loads more…

On the trail of James Bond’s motors: the DB4, with an engine in such perfect conditions, had our jaws on the floor. For a cool 3/4 of a million GB Pounds, this baby could be yours. Although not for driving…it’ll most likely go straight into the show space of a private collector, as this is pure gold dust on wheels. The Lotus display was also great to see, and for us the 1971 Lotus Elan plus2 simply stole the show on that stand. How beautiful is the design of this car???

Heading straight to Aston Martin next, the AM V8 Volante still looks as gorgeous as ever (David Beckham must have agreed, as he took his to Spain, when he played for Real Madrid), and the AM V8 Oscar India still tops the lot in style, elegance and sheer muscle power. The AM Superleggera was another show stopper last year, which our presenter Claudia Peifer actually tried out and sat in at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2019. It’s a beast of a car, no doubt, and was used in the James Bond film ’No Time To Die’. A proper style icon in the Aston range, it’s already a classic, and an absolute killer to drive…so they say! Watch the video and ignite that spark now…

What’s it Like to Experience 007 Elements in Austria?

Welcome to 007 Elements Austria! That’s right, we took our very own Jane Blonde to the leading Bond experience in Europe, and it left her both shaken and stirred!

First things first… yes, this is a James Bond experience built into an honest-to-goodness mountain.

You’re basically heading straight into a James Bond film set.

Set high above Soelden on the dramatic Gaislachkogel glacier. Safe to say, this isn’t your usual day out. It’s more like stepping inside Bond’s brain… if Bond’s brain came with ice, glass, gadgets, explosions, and very stylish architecture.

So, What’s 007 Elements Actually Like?

Let’s clear this up straight away… 007 Elements is not a museum.

It’s a cinematic James Bond installation carved into a mountain. Part exhibition, part film set, part “how is this even real?”

Built into the glacial landscape above Soelden, the whole experience is designed to pull you inside the world of Bond films – especially Spectre, which was filmed right here.

Soelden Shows Off Before You Go Inside Elements

Getting up here is half the fun. Starting in Soelden, a proper Austrian ski town that knows exactly what it’s doing when it comes to mountains, snow, and sweeping dramatic views.

Then you hop on the Gaislachkogl cable car, and everything starts getting very Bond-like very quickly.

You might even spot a smashed Range Rover from Spectre sitting at the bottom station. Just casually reminding you that yes, despite the serenity of the surroundings, chaos definitely happened here.

What’s it Like At 007 Elements Austria? The rooms (AKA Your Mission Briefing)

The experience is split into a series of rooms, each one taking you deeper into the world of Bond. It’s interactive, cinematic, slightly surreal… and honestly, there’s so much to enjoy in this super-spy dreamscape.

So, let’s walk through it.

• The Barrel of a Gun (aka: hello Bond): Become part of one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable images in cinema history, the epic Bond gun barrel
• The Lobby: Sleek, minimal, slightly mysterious. You’re no longer just in a building, you’re in the start of a mission.
• The Plaza: Step outside and suddenly you’re face-to-face with the Alps. This is where 007 Elements Soelden really flexes. Huge views and that feeling of being very, very small in a very big landscape.
• The Lair: Okay, this one is wild. Mirrors, projections, shifting visuals from those iconic Spectre scenes we all love. Claudia called it “spectacular” and honestly… that feels like an understatement.
• The Briefing Room: This is where things get a bit more behind-the-scenes. You’re guided through how scenes were made, including Spectre’s epic alpine chase sequences.
• The Tech Lab: This is where Bond becomes less like fantasy, more like engineering awesomeness. Helicopters, gadgets, stunt setups. But no CGI shortcuts. Just a lot of people doing very ambitious things at high altitude.
• The Action Hall: If you like explosions, stunts, and general chaos… this is your room (and let’s face it, if you like Bond, you like those things). Planes, props, action sequences, it’s basically Bond clout pulled into one room.
• The Screening Room: Sit back, watch, and suddenly everything you’ve just walked through clicks into place.
• The Legacy Hall: This is where it all comes together. 60+ years of Bond. All the actors. All the eras. All the evolution.A timely reminder that this isn’t just about one film or location, it’s about a cultural icon that refuses to sit still.
• The ice Q restaurant: The famous ice Q restaurant is often mistaken for part of the exhibition itself. Mainly because it absolutely looks like a Bond villain HQ with a Michelin-star Wishlist.

So… Where Was Spectre Filmed? Was it Here?

Yes. Right here in Soelden, the glacier, the mountain roads, the cable car, the ice Q building – it all features in Spectre.

But, at this point, we should probably say that Soelden is about more than just Bond. As cool as 007 Elements is, Soelden itself is no side character. It bring huge main character energy with:

• A complete ski resort
• A gorgeous glacier playground
• Summer hiking bases
• Easy access airport

If you’re wondering, the nearest airport is Innsbruck, with easy access from the UK and European cities (including EasyJet routes, depending on season).

Jane Blonde 006 Energy? We’ve Got That Too

If this whole experience has you thinking “I want more of this in my life”, why not check out our very own thrill-seeker in residence?

Claudia’s Jane Blonde 006 adventures live in the same world of thrill-seeking travel:

• Paragliding over the Swiss Alps
• Walking the Caminito del Rey in Spain
• Taking a seaplane across the Scottish Highlands

Basically: Bond vibes, but make it TA-DAH.TV.

So, Is 007 Elements Worth It?

Short answer: Yes, it is!!!!

Long answer: Also yes, but with more snow, more drama, and more “how is this real?” moments.

But 007 Elements Austria isn’t just for Bond fans. It’s for anyone who likes travel that feels cinematic. Where the destination is just as exciting as the journey.

And honestly? Standing up there in the Alps, surrounded by glass, steel, ice, and film history…It kind of feels like you’re in the movie.

Because you are.

A Double “TA-DAH!” Moment: Celebrating Our 2025 Corporate Vision Awards

We have some news that has us popping the champagne and doing a little happy dance in the TA-DAH.TV office! 🥂

In December, at the 2025 Corporate Vision Awards, TA-DAH.TV was honoured with not one, but two incredible titles: Media Innovator of the Year for London and the Excellence Award for Fashion TV Services.

To say we’re “chuffed” would be an understatement. These awards are a huge nod to our mission of bringing you the most vibrant, unusual, and high-octane lifestyle content from across Europe.

We want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to our endlessly hardworking team, as well as our collaborators and associates from across Europe. You really are the best!

Whether you’ve been with us since our first exclusive interview or just joined the party, you’re the reason we keep the cameras (and the good vibes) rolling.

To celebrate, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to look at some of our favourite, most unusual, and downright iconic moments that helped us bag these gongs.

Our Music Channel Highlights: Dancing to the Rhythm of European Events

Our Music Channel is all about that “I was there” feeling. We’ve danced everywhere, from the forest floors of the Noisily Festival to the mountain peaks of Snowbombing and even in ancient castles at Cocoon at the Castle.

Who could forget our innovative “In The DJ Booth” series? Here we snagged exclusive interviews with some of the brightest stars on the scene, including the late, great Jackmaster.

We also used that series to hustle down to the Printworks London with ABODE to speak with Darius Syrossian, Idris Elba and Richy Ahmed, as well as catching up with Jaden Thompson and the Martinez Brothers at The Warehouse Project in Manchester.

We also have a knack for spotting stars early, chatting with Fleur Shore just before her career skyrocketed! 🚀

But don’t worry, we’re not hanging up our glowsticks just yet. If you’re planning your next rave, check out our Tour Dates & Club Nights section to see where the hottest acts are playing next, including huge names like our mate Seth Troxler.

Award-Winning Style: The Fashion Channel

Winning the Excellence Award for Fashion TV Services means the world to us. We love diving deep into style, like our exclusive sit-down with Camille Charrière, one of the most influential voices in European fashion.

We’ve also explored the history of style at the Mary Quant V&A expo and travelled to the stunning YSL Museum in Marrakesh. And if you like the sound of all that, check out our piece on Daniel Lismore, a man who is quite literally a living work of fashion art.

The Wonders of Wellness and Sport

Innovation isn’t just about tech; it’s about how we live. Our wellness adventures have taken us to the “jewel of Switzerland,” the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, as well as the tranquil Atzaro Hotel in Ibiza.

For the adrenaline junkies, our sports coverage has been just as diverse. From the high-flying action of the GKA Kitesurf World Tour to the prestigious Ayala International Polo Tournament and the buzz of LIV Golf Andalucía.

We truly have been blessed to see some of the most iconic moments in European sport, experiences that are made all the more enjoyable when we can take you along with us – and check into some of the most gorgeous wellness resorts in between events (of course!). How do you think our incredible Claudia stays looking so young?!

Here’s a rundown of the moments you loved most:

• The Rarest: A seaplane flight across the Scottish Highlands, truly an unforgettable experience – especially as it’s a service that sadly doesn’t even exist anymore!
• The Scariest: Claudia strapped on her big girl pants to take on the Caminito del Rey, once known as the world’s most dangerous pathway.
• The Freakiest: Strapped to a chute this time, taking off on a tandem paragliding flight from snow in the Swiss Alps at 2000m+ altitude was not for the faint hearted, just about perfect for our Claudia then, aka 006.
• The Most Romantic: We had you covered with lovey-dovey inspo, too, with our Valentine’s carriage ride in Vienna.
• The Glamorous: When we weren’t scaling death-defying trails or soaring over the Highlands, we weren’t afraid to glam up, walking the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala.

We even had you petrolheads covered with films of the Geneva Motorshow and Retro Málaga, which remain some of our most-watched vids!
