Kris Singh is so excited he’s almost vibrating. We’re gathered on the Aston Martin stand at the Geneva International Motor Show, where the venerable British carmaker has just unveiled three concept cars: the Lagonda All-Terrain, a battery-powered SUV lined with silk and cashmere; the Vanquish Vision, a sports car intended to compete with $250,000 Ferraris; and the AM-RB 003, a 500-unit, $1.3 million hybrid that resembles a demonic specter in an astronaut’s helmet.

All three are years from being road-ready, but that doesn’t matter to the 39-year-old Miami-based investor. “I love seeing things for the first time in real life instead of on the internet,” Singh says. “Being surprised, that’s so rare these days. It’s like being a part of history.”
