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.

Weekend in the Village

Porsche 911 Turbo

Turbo!

Porsche CarreraMay be convertible?

Chevrolet Corvette C6
Haven't seen this deep orange colour one before.

Bentley Continental GT
First Bentley of the day. This guy just decided to make his own parking spot. First time I've seen the nine-spoke wheels.

Bentley Continental GT
Second Bentley of the day. That makes four in a week! (red, white, sliver & blue)

Audi R8Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Gallardo (same chassis, same transmission), just with a smaller engine. And about half the price!

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

One of the most expensive production cars in the world, at about $500,000.

Also saw another Prowler today, deep red in colour. Didn't manage to get a photo.
