Gallardo Rainbow

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
I think the local dealer ordered one in every colour! Even this hot pink convertible.

Blue Sky

Lamborghini Gallardo SpyderSoft-top version of Lamborghini's sweet street car.

Chiroptera

Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster

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.

Ramadan Nights

Sorry about the dark photos. The exotics are pretty scarce in the daytime during the month of Ramadan. I think all the high-end cars are at home sleeping in the afternoon. After dark, however, some of them come out to play.

Bentley Continental GTThis is a different GT than the white one I saw last month.

Porsche Cayenne Gemballa GT BiturboA Cayenne that has been tuned by German aftermarket company Gemballa.

Two Chevrolet Corvette C6Two Corvette convertibles stopped at a traffic light. That's the front end of a Porsche Cayenne on the right-hand side.

Rolls-Royce PhantomThe driver is waiting for several ladies in black.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead CoupéThis is the first time I've seen one of these. It's the two-door convertible version of the Phantom. Gotta love the suicide doors.

The most amazing car that I've seen during Ramadan was a black Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. I didn't manage to capture a photo of it, but I'll keep on the lookout.

Mustang Madness

Ford Shelby GT 500
Is it? I've never seen one like this (hood scoop, stripes, etc.).

Ford Mustang GT
I'm not sure if this is a hood scoop or a surface-to-air missile launcher. Has anybody seen one like this before?

Ferrari F430 Spider
Even Ferraris can get tickets!

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.

Long Time Coming

Chevrolet Corvette C6
I'm not sure what colour this is. Salmon? Peach? I don't think the police were impressed, because they captured this one, too.

Plymouth Prowler
This one is a little older than the gold Prowler I saw before, probably 1999 or 2000. Only about 10,000 of these were ever made, over the whole five years of production.

Hummer H2 (stretched)
There are many, many Hummers around this city, especially H3s. So I haven't bothered to capture any of them for the blog. But I thought this Hummer was just a little out of the ordinary. This thing can't be easy to drive. Or park.

North Side

Bentley Continental GTC
Two Bentleys in two days! This one was a soft top. 550bhp!

Dodge Charger R/T
I believe that is a 5.7L Hemi V8.
This Charger appeared to be locked down by the police. That's a real car capture!

Porsche 911 turbo
Type 997, I think.

Landmark Starting Line

Bentley Continental GTI think this is the Continental GT Speed, but I'm not sure (check out those wheels!).
In any case, that W12 engine gives it a top speed of over 300km/h (326km/h for the GT Speed).

Chrysler Prowler
"Inca Gold" paint colour? 2002.
