Default Apr 27: 250GTO replica, 308, Gransport, Koenig 560SEC,Tuscan

New update for my website, some more pictures from Ticino, then back in Lausanne

Should I tell you that by clicking these preview pics you will be taken to the full 20 high-res set?

It was still winter, so I was still shooting the RS6s, just in case nothing better would show up I kinda like this picture


M3 under some light snowing that just started


And a bit later, another one


Well, when I saw this car from far away I didn't believe my eyes for a second. then I realized a real 250 GTO will never be parked like that in front of a small bar/night club at evening... a replica then.. probably not the best one in the world and based on a Datzun as far as I know.. still had to take a couple of pics:


This one was real, and damn sexy! I love the 308, and the vintage italian plates on this one looked cool, especially on the back!


A 400i on a flatbed between Lausanne and Geneva.. it was then spotted this month in Paris, back on the road (notice the exhaust is missing here)


Same trip toward Geneva.. an accident happened so we were moving slowly and I was able to snap a quick shot of this rare Koenig Mercedes-Benz 560SEC widebody! Ugly maybe, but like the Koenig Testarossa seen in Canada, damn rare!


A Gransport in front of Geneva's Ferrai/Maserati dealership


I don't know what to think.. I hate the light in these pics, and it was impossible to fix it with the camera settings or Photoshop... still, when you see a Quattroporte, a Spider and 911 Turbo, you have to take pics BTW, the color of the Spider is damn nice!




SLK32, when AMG wasn't as "obscene" as it is now and gave it a V6 only


Yet another black 997S


Talk about a messy Cayenne Turbo!!


RR Silver Spur.. too bad for the other car beside it, or else it would have been a pretty classy shot despite the weather!


And my second Tuscan!! In Geneva this time! What a growl!

It actually wouldn't suprise me if you did see a real 250GTO , a replica is still rare I guess - I have never seen one I agree with you on the F308 - just a beautiful shape and most likely the nicest Ferrari I could afford in the foreseeable future
Another 997 for you, black sure looks good on it....I think thats what I would get mine in
Finally its only a matter of time before you get a Tuscan standing still
Thanks for all the nice pics dude

I think I have a new favorite colour for the Maser! That red is just perfect!

The 308 really is one of the best shapes Ferrari has put together over the years.
It's timeless, like the F40. It will look cool in 100 years...

That Koenig is a damn rare sight. I have never actually seen that car, ever.

Any other pics......or I'll just google it I guess...


I don't like the wheels on the carrers S. The new ones are better.

Actually I found it parked in Lausanne some weeks later, the pics are somewhere in the upload queue, so definitely you will have 3 news ones someday

A very nice update TT. You spotted another Tuscan, again with a beautiful drive-by pic. The Koenig 560 SEC is idd a very rare sight, almost impossible to catch, but you got it The 308 and Maer Spider pics are great!!

I 100% agree. The basic 208/308/328 shape is just so gorgeous. The way the line of the car moves from the front to the rear of the car is so gracious. I fell in love with the first time I saw one, and I'm still in love with it today

Luckily I also found it a couple of weeks later parked in Lausanne, so I could take some more pics of it, especially from the front

wow - nice sight, the 308 !

Thanks TT for another great update with lots of Maseratis this time.
Agree the color of the spider is hot

I like the salted-dirty Cayenne ( must have been in the Engadin before )
