Sexy & mean car pic thread.

[Carlos]

There is an automotive sound thread guys, just fyi.

Icon status, right there.👍👍

Couple of these cars coming from a Japanese playboy have been passing through these doors lately.
993 GT2 Racer.

Mean looking 500SL. Looks like it's very rare, too.

That 993 GT2 Racer, is that car ever used? Looks like new.. (Bit of a shame though)

And the front of that 500SL, oh my...

Japanese playboy? All these cars come from 1 person..? Are they being sold of did he bought them?

The 993 & the Maserati came from his collection. His name is Kojy Aoyama & he is the owner of RRH & CO., LTD (I believe it may be a fashion/jewelry company) & his own racing team, "Team Kawamura" which he does drive for.

Not much info has surfaced about his collection in the past 2 years.

I like there are never any 996 posted. It's like everybody has forgotten that model even existed.

Greatest post of the day goes to happycorey. 👍

Whoah there...

 

[-Fred-]

I believe I've... yes, I've soiled myself.

The F40 and F1 are still so beautiful... so much better still, IMO, than everything else available currently.

Those London spots were from previous year right? I want to go to London, I must check out these cars!!!

The yellow McLaren on the leafy road is awesome. Indeed, it may have to be my new wallpaper.

Don't usually use the word 'epic', but this page fits the bill. I have to squeeze this on here while we're at it...

"What is thy bidding my master?"

Aston Martin One-77 by R-W-P, on Flickr

See those one piece doors and wing mirrors? Eighty-thousand pounds to replace one...

 

[McLaren]

Is that car naturally black? I'm asking b/c I know it's a black & white photo, but I've always wanted to see the One-77 in a black finish instead of lighter colors running around.

Top Gear magazine ran an article last year when they took the Citroen GT up to London specifically to show up the young rich from the Middle East in their Veyrons. Apparantly it worked a treat - a messenger was soon sent to the writer to tell him that his employer would like to by the car, money no object. The writer sent the messenger back, to report that the car is not for sale...

Not in the same league as the cars above, but the racing version looks so much better than the road car (would class under "mean" rather than "sexy"), and I love what the run-off surface at Paul Ricard looks like in photographs...

I highly recommend checking out this guys Flickr photostream. So many wonderful Group C photos from Donington and Le Mans. Also some excellent touring car images.

Love the film photos. Great stuff. 👍

 

[exigeracer]

Lots of Ferrari this time around. Not my favorite cars, but boy do they make 'em pretty...

TriviaBonus™:

This post contains three of my current favorite cars of the last 15 years. Can you name them?

Alright, what's some good car blogs, or photographers' websites where you guys find amazing photos like these ^ ?

I've seen most of exigeracers post turn up on Tumblr over the last few days, just search the tags and you should always find something good. My personal favourite car blog is Motoring Con Brio, they always deliver amazing photos from Flickr and other contributors.

Pretty much this ^

Just find a half-decent Tumblr account and type in /archive after its homepage URL and voila, thumbnails for their whole post history. Since a lot of content on Tumblr is reblogged from someone else's stream, you can easily bounce between a variety of good collections.
