Summer Spotting: Canada Edition

Dodge Viper
Looks like a fourth-generation Viper (2008), but I'm not sure. In any case, its engine is over 8L!

Lotus Elise
An awesome British car, first released in North America with the 2005 model. A fibreglass body on an aluminum frame.

Ford GT
Ford supercar that was only built for two years (2005, 2006). 550 horsepower!

Summer Spotting: France Edition I

Porsche 964 Carrera 2
A rear-wheel-drive Porsche from the early nineties.

Aston Martin DB9
Awesome car, beautiful design, V12 engine.

Ferrari 575 M SuperAmerica
Made in 2005, this car has a unique convertible "electrochromic glass panel" roof that flips over 180 degrees to the back. Apparently there were only 559 of these built.

Citroën 2CV
This is such an iconic French car that I had to include one shot of it. In production for over 40 years, Citroën made almost four million of these cars! There are rumours that an updated version of the 2CV may go into to production in the not-too-distant future.
