In this special we show you all the amazing cars the people from the middle east brought to Europe this summer. Eurotrip... the name says it all, where could you find these cars, which cities can be interesting to go on holiday next year. Some visited only one city, others drove through Europe, just to find luxurious and exclusive places!
The item "Colors of the rainbow" is a fun and popular item. It’s always fun to see which colors have been put on the exotics of today. This time we examine an American model, the Dodge Viper SRT-10.
The Aston Martin’s these days still have a connection with the past. For instance look at the grille that Aston Martin has used from the very beginning. The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato can also be called a real Aston Martin, this car is very popular with carcollectors. It has everything you want, both the looks and a superb engine, it doesn’t matter, everything is perfect about this Brit.
There are rich people and there are really rich people. Though there are some people that have a giant money tree in their backyard and can buy pretty much every supercar they want. At least, if it’s for sale. Don Wallace is a guy who gained his money with a series of big trailer stores in the United States. He got what?
510 kicking horses, 1250 kilo and only 60 milliseconds to change gear. These are just some random numbers of the impressive Ferrari 430 Scuderia that has been sighted on Dutch soil for the first time this year. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is the successor of the popular Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. Just like the Stradale, the Scuderia is a noisemaker first class. It makes people stare because of the beautiful sound and the aggressive styling. Not only people will capture the car, but also the camera follows it.
Tuesday afternoon, around half past twelve I received a text message from the owner of a Maserati GranTurismo: “I'll be at your place around two, the Crossfire will join us”. Like mad I took my bike and drove home, at about the same time as I did the Chrysler Crossfire and Maserati GranTurismo also drove into the street where I live. You’ve probably guessed it, time for a photoshoot!
Enough facts can be found in the automotive world. Among those facts are “fun” ones, as well as more “serious” ones. That’s why we have already posted a “Did you know” special several times. Now it is time for part six .
Monaco, the small state at the Côte D'azur, is the place to be for supercar-lovers every year in April. This month the luxury show Top Marques is held. The last weekend of April the Grimaldi Forum was the place to display the cars, yachts and other luxurious things.
The winter season is slowly ending. Hopefully we can welcome a long hot summer, put your skies back on the attic. To finish of the winter we will show you two movies filled with fun in the snow. Put on a warm sweater, gloves and a hat, settle yourself in the freezer and think about snow and what can be done with it. In about eight months we will provide you with new wintermovies. Until than just watch these instead.
It’s Fridaynight and we’re off to Geneva. Why? For the motorshow going on there, obviously. But of course, Geneva has more to offer than only that. After an eight-hour journey we arrive at the motorshow. But after four hours, we feel we’ve seen the best of it and decide to leave. It’s 5 pm, and we set our TomTom SatNav to “Route de la Galaise, 14”. That’ll bring us to a true fanatic with a dustless showroom!
A few weeks ago we’ve showed you a number of Spyker cars which are for sale around the world. In case you fancy something else, today we're going to show you a list of other exotic cars. Mobile.de has fourteen Ferrari Enzo’s for sale. The cheapest, which has only driven 6500 kilometres, costs 880.000 euro. How you pay doesn't matter, as long as it's legal.
Spots from the richer places on Earth are not unfamiliar to you guys. Dubai, London, Paris,… all fancy places. Poverty is something you don’t find easily there. Anyhow, it isn’t visible. The expensive exotics can only be found on places where they really belong. For example an expensive shopping street, a fancy hotel or maybe a magnificent villa. But what’s the situation in the pourer countries where wealth is rising? Is the difference between rich and poor still visible in these countries? Yes, it is.
Lamborghini, the company founded by Feruccio Lamborghini, has already had a nice history, started building tractors and now producing supercars with a V12 engine which produces a wonderful sound. No doubt that the Countach is one of the finest pieces of work from the factory in Sant’ Agata. You can debate about the looks, but one thing is for sure, this Lamborghini is a true work of art, everything comes together in the right way. Tricky to handle, no luggage space, but a wonderful V12 howling just behind your back.
In 2007, the hottest color to have on your car was white. Ofcourse, the smaller companies also noticed this and started using it on their cars. As a result, the real die-hards say the colour isn't exclusive enough anymore and they think it's time for something else. At the tuningshow in Essen, a new color was shown that didn't occur before in the realm of cars... matte black.
Cars with big mouths, or large grilles in cars. This is a huge trend in the automotive industry. Just think about almost all of the new models of Peugeot. This trend is not only seen on affordable models, on a lot of exotic cars you also see large grilles. If a manufacturer won’t supply you with one, just have to drive it to a tuner who will provide you with one. Here's a list of some exotic cars with huge mouths.
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that the things you see are really true. A while ago you could have seen a Porsche 968 Sportkombi with a drawhook on the Dutch frontpage. It wouldn’t be strange if it was a Porsche Cayenne. Don’t think this is just a one of a kind car, we’ve found a lot more of these strange creations. For example: cars with roof boxes, but not the usual cars like the Opel Zafira or the Fiat Multipla. There are also different exotics spotted with roof boxes on a skiing trip!
We all know them, the car dealers that don’t sell the average cars, but only have exotics in their showrooms! For the real dreamers, it’s always nice to keep an eye on them, just in case…, because sometimes, they really have very nice toys for sale! One of the most well-known is ‘Autosalon Singen’, located in southern Germany, just north of Switzerland. Others like to use the internet to put their supercars on sale, like duPontREGISTRY and carclassic.com. We have selected the finest cars for you, in case you were looking for that one very rare exotic!
As you might have read in the newspaper, Spyker is doing fine again! Really? We don't know but some very rich people invested a lot of money which just might have saved the company from bankrupcy. People who are interesting in buying a Spyker car from our very small country will get the original factory warranty so the risks have definately decreased. This might be the perfect time to empty your savings account and get yourself a Spyker!
And here we are! ‘Did you know’-episode 5 already! And again, we have collected a few nice DYK’s for you! If you have some yourself, feel free to post them in your reaction at the bottom of this page!
