Black and White

Jaguar XKR convertibleYou know a driver values their car when they take up two parking spaces!

I'm not a big fan of Jaguars, but this is the first time I've seen the XKR up close. This is definitely the hottest Jag I've met. I've heard other people say that it looks a lot like some Aston Martins and I would agree (especially that front end). Maybe that's why I like it.

Bentley Continental GTSecond black one I've seen.

Porsche Cayenne SFirst, two black Lambos and now a pair of pearl-white Porsches.

Evil Twin

As promised, here's a photo of "the one that got away" before. And this time, it brought a friend.

Lamborghini Gallardo & Gallardo SuperleggeraTwo black Lamborghinis parked near each other. Actually, I saw one arriving and the other leaving, so they weren't together at all. Just a random Doha coincidence.

Lamborghini GallardoThis small supercar costs about £125,000 in the UK (about $280,000 in the US). Four-wheel drive and 500bhp!

Lamborghini Gallardo SuperleggeraLamborghini doesn't make this lightweight version of the Gallardo anymore, since they recently updated the base model. But the idea was to cut down on the weight of the car by replacing a lot of the original parts with carbon fibre versions. The 70kg weightloss cost about £26,000 more ($50,000 more) than the Gallardo. Apparently only 37 black Superleggeras were made, so this is a pretty unique car.

Aftermarket

Volkswagen New Beetle NismoHere's a VW Beetle with a Nismo badge. Not sure exactly what's going on there, but I guess they added some bits, including a spoiler.

BMW M5 HartgeThis M5 has been modified by German aftermarket tuning company Hartge.
