The German Invasion

16 Jun

Zee Germans made a solid showing this morning as well. Several of the rarer beasts from deep in the Black Forest are shown. Unfortunately none of the rarer Audi’s or Mercedes were in attendance, but nevertheless there were some amazing treasures there.

The Other M(1)

16 Jun

Yesterday we showed one of BMW’s most coveted cars of the modern era – the 1M.

Here is an M creation from 3 decades ago. Built in conjunction with Lamborghini for homoloized racing purposes. Only 456 were ever made so seeing one in the flesh is a rare treat.

Reunited Family of (Prancing) Horses

16 Jun

Each was born in Modena, but I wonder if any if them thought they would be reunited in a small town on a Sunday summer morning. Appropriate that the father led the pack.

Lots of Porsche content lately – primarily because there is such a wide array of purpose built cars in their long history. Here is another one: the GT2. While not quite the widow-maker the previous version was, it’s never-the-less a wild machine and extremely rare. The attention to detail on this thing is amazing..like the carbon inlay in the dash flanked by red stitching. This continues through the interior.
