June 2025 Just after coming out the historical building (Casa del Pingone) I've mentioned in the Cayenne Turbo S spot I have just posted, I was really surprised to find this amazing German SL 63 parked in front of the 4-Star hotel NH Collection Torino Santo Stefano, where I've never spotted a car before the Cayenne of a couple hours before! Sadly the black Nissan Pixo and some metal poles from the hotel made difficult pics of front and rear end, but luckily the really kind owner accepted to wait a couple minutes in a better position before moving the car to the underground parking of the hotel, like I have said to him I'm a huge fan of this generation of the SL but sadly those cars are very rare in Italy. I really like the first pic as it shows Porte Palatine, the only surviving gate of the city during the Roman Empire, when Turin was called Augusta Taurinorum, there are not many places in the world where you can spot a car with a Roman building behind, which is 2100 years old!

To think that over 2,000 years ago people built this structure and did not realize that one day an SL63 would park next to it

@P0Pro100u Hahaha yeah, it's crazy to think the difference between the technology behind that Mercedes and what they had at the time, which was actually pretty advanced for those years!
@ST22HTV It is, thanks Linus!

These 6th gen SL's are extremely rare to come by nowadays so it's always an occasion seeing one out and about, even more so if it's beside the contrasting Italian architecture.

@Exclusive_Spottertje It is! And it's beautiful too
@Exotics of Lithuania Thanks Gytis, it was a pleasure to find this beautiful car, which is one of my favorite Mercedes and I'm happy I've found it in that area of the city!
P.s. Can't wait to see you back to posting!

An outstanding narrative like always, Giacomo. That first posted shot looks fantastic, especially after learning about the backdrop. I really do hope all is well on your end, my friend? @JACK888 Turin Spotter

@Horse-Power Thank you very much West, the background has indeed a beautiful and long story, I'm doing well, just finished all my exams, I'll finally have my 3-year graduation in September, then start the two more years to receive the ''full'' graduation, I hope life is treating you well, my friend!
