Except the car isn't named after a light set of wheels. Superleggera means "Super Light Weight" in Italian. The car is a super ligh weight model of the Gallardo. Hencefore, Gallardo Superleggera= translation, Super Light Weight Gallardo. It doesn't need a set of rims for the name to make sense. I don't get why folks don't understand this.

Fords and Holden here are every day cars. There are now XR8 aand XR6 Turbos every where. Ive never seen that new Ram before. We dont have huge utes lol. We have Holden and Ford utes.
Oh yes, I know that. It is yet another case of what may not be special to someone, may be the coolest thing ever to another. We've been dying to get those cars here in America, so if the Ram is so cool there, we'd be happy to trade...
I have a fairly good understanding of what your truck sizes are like down there. Your "normal" trucks are our "small" trucks here, and our "normal" trucks are certainly your "large" trucks. That must mean that our "large" trucks are practically semi trucks (or lorries, whatever you call them) there...
I took this at the Chicago Auto show (this being the 2008 Ford Super Duty, the largest pickup you can buy outside of the Top Kick or that International thing):
Trust me, these things are HUGE. I got to sit in one, and now I really want to drive one...
Today...
How about that lineup?
Here's a closer shot of the Lamborghini:
Also:
348ts commonly seen in the area.
Horrible shot of the new Shelby GT-H convertible.
Spot the dead giveaway that this photo isn't real and win a prize: more of M5Power's incredible photos in the future!

Well I spent the day in London and while everyone else was looking at Big Ben and the like, I thought I'd walk around the roads. I'm glad I did.
DB9 that passed us on the bus
My favourite image with a Maybach, a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Ferrari of sorts, and a Porsche Turbo.
DB7? I don't really know my Astons all that well
DB9?
911 with a spare tire!
M6 Convert
Bentley

360 and a 612! The sounds of the two cars was sweet!

Nothing to special today, but I got to see something I haven't seen in a long time, an un-molested supra:
Gas isnt bad either, but I dont care since I ride my bike everywhere
And, yes, it really is a green 911 cab.
And saw a grey 911 coupe that passed me, no picture though

Now I'm lost. Maybe 20 years ago was longer than I thought. I can't remember what the US had. The Sport Quattro SWB would be nice, but I don't think that was sold here. I think we only had the Quattro Coupe (no 'Sport' or 'SWB'). Is that right?Either way, the US never got the more interesting Evo versions of either the 190E or M3, so a hobbled Quattro fits even better.
That's not a CSL. Notice the headrests. They are far from the true CSL-only type of seats:
In all likelihood, that's a 3.0CS with an extra 'L'. Even the bodykit can be purchased, as many 3.0CS's (and other, lesser models) were "converted" to fake CSL's (or were raced, where the aero kit actually helped).
This one could be genuine, since it has the right chrome runners above the wheels (which are also missing from the red car).
It is kind of dangerous. This is why I shoot without looking at the camera, and consequently many of my pictures stink. Still, the majority of my sightings are parked cars anyway, so I have plenty of time to drive or walk up and shoot. Safety first; you'll see that car again someday, anyway.
TsLeng: You gots nice cars there. I second the Morgan, but the DB5 is magnificent. Totally overshadows the Z3 Coupe behind it.
Yes, a Volvo P1800 Coupe. It's to the Saint as the DB5 is to 007.
Since I have no sightings of myself to post, I will share more impish goodness.

Joey DMy favourite image with a Maybach, a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Ferrari of sorts, and a Porsche Turbo.
Looks like a Ferrari F355 Spyder and i think the Porsche is a 997 GT3.
The Audi Coupe quattro was a non-turbo engined 4wd version of the Coupe. The Audi Quattro, although sharing it's basic shell with the Coupe, was never badged as a 'Coupe'. The US most probably never officially got the Audi Sport Quattro (the SWB version) since they only produced 200 of them to satisfy Group B regs. I'm sure a few sit in US collections, but like the Porsche 959, they're probably not legal on US roads.
I'd say the biggest give away is the CSi badge on the tail

Pretty much anywhere you dont see citroen 2cv's anymore, they've all died or been neglected.
But then you know somethings going on when you see 3 within 100 meters!
