Default July 10th in Lausanne, black F355 inside and much more!

Remember, most of them are clickable for high-res

Another sunny day, and again I was out trying to find something interesting.. and the first one I got is simply.. EWWWW

No idea about the engine, could be anything, doesn't really matter I guess...



Already better S55 or AMG in general in this color are very rare.. 99% are silver!


A cute 156 GTA


And this Audi is sure better than the green one a classy S4


A Focus RS


A C4S


An XKR


One of my fav cars the E30 M3, but this color was ugly!


And here is the best catch of today black F355!! PURRRR!!


Also saw another black Ferrari, a Modena.. sadly it was VERY far away.. thanks to the 8 MP of my camera the pic was still usefull, but not for high-res


Golf R32.. not as frantic as a Ferrari, but damn good sound!


Strange couple, both in rare colors


Ok the bug eyes Impreza was not the prettiest one by far, but these rear lights convertion is sure a good match


Oh, and maybe you will like a couple more pics of the lake

It was more like beige, but the sun was badly placed and I had no time to re-create the correct color in PS, but it was the same as the S55 above or very similar anyway

Well you know, you can re-spray a car of course that color is not a factory one, but all the rest seems to indicate it is a proper M3

TT...I think you actually spotted something a little more rare than you thought. I'm fairly sure that the Alfa GTA you spotted is in fact the Evo version with the lowered suspension, different alloys, slightly different bodykit and a bit more power. Nice spotting!!

LOL really? I noticed the wheels of course, and just thought it was an aftermarket model choosen by the owner.. I have to admit I'm not aware about an "Evo" version!

Yuck! The green Audi A4 looks like a Nissan Sentra from the front. The owner needs his head examined....

Got any more pics of the lake - panoramic view perhaps...

Dang you are right! Panoramic views! I know a little park in town (the town beeing build on a slope, so the park is quite up compared to the lake level), with a nice point where I think I could shoot a nice panoramic view, at least 180 degress I hope tomorrow it will be a sunny day

Yeah, the Evo version was tested in Autocar a few months ago, the power kit amounts to something in the neighborhood of 260-265bhp up from 250bhp as I recall. They liked it except apparently the ride is even more harsh than it was in the standard car hehe.

I have to note also how sexy the 355 looks in red , is astonishing to see a 7 or 8 years old Ferrari , 12 years old if you count the 348 which in terms of design is almost the same , it still looks pretty up to date and among the maybe 5 most sexiest Ferraris ever .... if i could only afford one , there is a red one with tan interior , proper manual , 6k miles for sale in my country !!! 1 of only 6 in the entire country !
