ChrisBuer Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi all, I went along to the London Motorshow today and it was really great!! Definitely suggest going if you're into cars as this is one of the biggest one's I've been too!! Anyway, thought I’d quickly link some pictures of cars that took my interest. There were no Porsche there which was a shame as I wanted to snap the new 911 Turbo, but never mind! The new Aston Martin Rapide (looked very nice!) Some poor Aston Martin that had covered 33,000 miles in 30 days!! (there’s one for the cleaning forum if ever I saw one!) A lovely Vanquish S! Supercars!! Still the daddy? The new Cupra (I liked this) All in all a great day out (oh and by the way, the girls at the show are awesome!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBuer Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yep it's the new Aston 4 door and damn was it nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 That LM look simply stunning... Id have the road car, in a grey black. ANd take my mates out for a nice long drive every single weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Did you bother with the show? i didnt. Thought the BMW 3 series coupe might have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBuer Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I did go to the show and to be honest it was terrible. If I want to see Vauxhall's sliding about, I'll go down to my local Tesco's at around 11pm!! I didn't see the BMW 3 series coupe, but did see the new M6 Convertible! Still prefer the M5 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5to1 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Was the LP640 there? If so does it look like they are doing back stage passes. Trying to decide if I should bug Modena for some passes, as I could have a propper look at the G Spyder aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What did you think of this:- The Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 We thought that it was probably the best concept car at the show. Will be interesting to see if they put it into production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I like it, but how often do GM do something good for SAAB though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Not sure about the proportions front to back, but it looks mega from the front and the back. As long as they keep that pod for getting in and out, instead of being all practical and having doors that, erm, just open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 My photo editor needs a rebuild otherwise I'd post the rear, side and angle shots. Didn't see the roof lift live, but the video wall film was mighty impressive. For those that don't know- The whole windscreen (since it's one piece) and doors lift up for access in and out. Very buck Rogers, and very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGa Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 How long has that saab been a concept car? I do believe it was a "hidden car" in the getaway (ps2 game) which was released in um 2000 i think? Thats a whole 5 years! how long are concept cars normally ermm.. actually just concepts? OO edit: .. also im going to the show tomorrrow, cant wait, will have some pics up hopefully =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] The fittest ones are always on the Alfa stand. The Aero looks a bit bloated to me, maybe it's better in the metal but it seems a bit Fat Pablo Montoya. Needless to say it'll never get greenlighted, this is GM were talking about. [ QUOTE ] For those that don't know- The whole windscreen (since it's one piece) and doors lift up for access in and out. Very buck Rogers, and very cool. [/ QUOTE ] Actually Batman was the first thing that sprung to mind, Michael Keaton's Batmobile had a similar arrangement. The canopy roof has been used on concepts loads of times, Maserati Birdcage 75th last year was the last one. I don't think it's ever been put into series production though. Oooh, but just imagine that roof attached to the Pininfarina Rossa Concept from 2000. That would be something else. My lottery numbers ever come up I'm going to commission that, no off-the-shelf footballers Ferrari for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
