Did You See Anything Good Today? 'Event and Showroom Edition'

[MatskiMonk]

Great pictures from the SS Classic. I love the 2002 and is that a Lada rally car?!

Lol, Yup!

 

[Vince_Fiero]

@ MatskiMonk Any more shots of the Alfa Romeo SZ, it has been years that I did not see any anymore.

I saw a Carrera GT at the Porsche garage and turned around, but it had gone, driving back passing my favourite garage I saw the next (not new cars, but better pictures):

At the other good garage in that area: Bentley Continental GTC

and a Ferrari 599:

and a Rolls Royce:

Just one, but it's got an Oldsmobile engine in it:


Shelby Series 1

Only other one I took

A few old cars when I got my car dynoed...

 

[Peterram430]

Some really bad phone pictures from my holiday in Italy

Galleria Ferrari

Random stuff around Maranello

Lamborghini Factory Museum

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Great Ferrari and Lamborghini pictures here.

Racing Viper, at my fovorite garage

==================

@ MatskiMonk, thanks for that Alfa Romeo Picture, still quite like that car.

==================

Some people have been bad and posting in the street thread, well I'll add mine here anyway:

at my fovourite garage: Nissan GTR Litchfield (posted once before in front shot with an Aston Martin)

Notice the special little front wing in the last picture.

Came past the Maserati garage and remembered I did not have a chance to take this Maserati GranCabrio on the street yet (seen, but could not get a shot), so took this:

There was a different colour Porsche GT3 RS, could not help myself:

 

[Dac_Xint]

Very cool GTR, that's got to be one of the nicest looking ones I've see to date. Almost looks like what the Mines GTR should be

 

[Rue]

Great pictures from everyone. I would love to do the Italy factory tours some day, but Peterram430 tell us you didn't only take a mobile phone camera. Tell us you had a nice SLR but you just haven't had time to go through all your pics yet... please?! Must have been a great trip.

Vince, that garage has some really interesting stuff there. That GTR is the best I have seen too. A real beast. Just needs to make the roof black!

 

[IIIKAGEIII]

that is beautiful

at my fovourite garage: Nissan GTR Litchfield (posted once before in front shot with an Aston Martin)

This GTR looks very much like the one Litchfield made for Gerard Lopez - Boss of Renault's F1 team and board member of Genii Capital who are based in Luxembourg. There was an article about it in this months Evo magazine. 780bhp if i remember rightly

I could say that, but I'd be lying. It was a good trip, TBH I found the Ferrari museum a bit sterile but I enjoyed just walking round Maranello looking at Ferrari's driving through the streets and around the test track. Usually you can take a tour of the actual Lamborghini factory, which would be good, but unfortunately it was closed when I visited.

 

[CyborgGT]

Concours on the 8th:

EDIT - the pics are eating my photobucket bandwidth. All pics here.

 

[Brett]

Just an awesome page between the Ferrari/Lamborghini showrooms and the Concours. Excellent stuff! 👍

Guys, this garage is not a dealership. I spoke to one of the guys there. It´s actually the garage of Gerard Lopez - the owner of Renault F1 Team. Apparently he has close to 100 cars. He is quite famous here in Luxembourg and has some yummy cars such as a Lamborghini Reventon

Ferrari 456

Mercedes Benz SLR MacLaren

Aston Martin DBS

I had lunch near the Mercedes-Benz garage, when I saw these, had to take a picture (they were clients cars so a long wait and they would have been on the road):

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Sorry for the double post, too much material.

I must say I was disappointed about the cars I saw at the Nuerburgring.
My hopes were to finally see in real life a Pagani, Gumpert, Marussia, Koenigsegg, the Aston Martin One77, but no such luck.

However I must say afterwards, the cars were pretty special:

The Ferrari 599 GTO:

A Mercedes SL65 AMG V12 Biturbo (someone stated Black series): (had 63 first, but it does not add up with V12 and this look)

There was this Ascari in the races that is quite uncommon:

This special paint 458 Italia:

Some not common

Corvette Z06

Vipers

and always nice to see:

Porsche GT2

Porsche GT3RS

Lambos

Nissans

Lotus'

Lots of Mat Black paint (did not take all):
Z4 M Roadster

R8 V10

New A-Team car?

Porsche 928

Challenger RT Hema

Top line Golfs

STI

Mercedes Benz E63 AMG

Audi S5 and GranSport

Audi RS6

New Audi A8 (first time I recognise it)

Some just were showing off their cars

and lots more that was going to the Nordschleife.

I also put race pictures in my report:https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=129425

The SL63 is really a striking mean car.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

This GTR looks very much like the one Litchfield made for Gerard Lopez - Boss of Renault's F1 team and board member of Genii Capital who are based in Luxembourg.

Good hint, the main seat of this company is just across the street from where I took this picture. The building with the cars does not seem to hold offices at this time.

Just found the Litchfield stages: http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/nissan_gtr_stages.asp
You amount of power is stage 5, no fixed power for that stage.

=========

Sorry, looking at it the SL63 does not make sense, it must be a SL65.

Ah, that's a shame. Still an excuse for another trip though!

Lock up your hats and hold onto your daughters, here comes a whizzbang...!

Hmm...I've seen that F50 hardtop before....

Oh right I bled the brakes on it. 💡

 

[E RaK]

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I have a thread buried somewhere of my trip to the Marconi and a few other places in LA area, I have the Cizeta .

 

[McLaren]

For Cano.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Nah, I worked at a shop that maintained all their Italian stuff. So I've worked on their F50, Yellow 348, red Pantera GTS, and the red Testarossa.

I went to a place today where they had a bunch of american cars. This is my first time resizing and uploading so many pictures. And the pictures may not be very good as I was in a bit of a hurry and they were taken with my cellphone. But, enjoy the cars and tell me what you think about them.
