Default Sep 21: F575M, C4S, 996TT, Conti GT, 645, M3, M5, SL55...

Ok, I think I had another good day... not perfect, not many italian babies, but some cute shots I guess

let's start with a classic, RS6


"Only" a couple of Conti GT today.. still not too shabby




And a couple of nice 645Ci Cabrio



Many E39 M5 today! That's nice!




And the usual M3.. a British one this time


Now, this is a RARE BMW! An Isetta!!! Lovely!


American Muscles in Switzerland, of course




The only Ferrari I got today pretty nice black 575M


Err.. another NSX


Again this Quattroporte. I love it!


An S55 AMG


And some SL55!




Nothing special, but I still love it


Impossible to go out without coming back with Porsche pics

C4S


And the Cabrio version



And a couple of Turbo





And finally a Cayenne Turbo

I just loves those rims on the 575, they look great. Thanks for the pictures TT. Curious though, with all the super strict emission laws in switzerland how are there all these nice cars? Or is it that they just all pass?

Great Shots again TT

I especially like the Porsche pics, and the 645 Convertible too 8)

Viper is pretty rare too i guess.

I agree with Mike, those rims on the 575M are awesome

As for the "nothing special" 350Z... it's proving to be quite rare around here. I saw a few straight after it was launched, but not many since Anyways... i love it.

Actually there is nothing more strick than in other places here.. you name a car, you can find it regularly on the road here.. isn't it in the US that cars have less HP for some strange emissions problems?

I was asking b/c i watched the motorworld program on switzerland and saw how strick they were, is the video misleading or is it just wrong information?

Again nice pics.

Is this a 575M Maranello GTC, the rims are the same? For the record, I'm not talking about the race GTC, but about the GTC handling package (a more advanced Fiorano-kit)

Uhm.. the GTC pack muffler should be slightly different I think.

And Mike, I had no time to watch Jeremy's video yet, but for sure it is misleading or wrong

Oh good, I'm glad the vid was wrong, because he made me not want to move to Switzerland talking of all those anti-car people!

Great sightings, esp the NSX. 8)

BTW, going there I also spotted a Ferrari dealership I never knew about. They had a red Enzo there, I saw it from the highway while passing by... I tried to reach the place but it was like a military facility with plates saying "keep out" basically, so I didn't dare to park and break in...

When coming back from Geneva I tried to take a pic stopping in the emergeny lane of the highway, but the sun moved and the reflex on the windows made the Enzo completely invisible, but I'm pretty sure it was there in the morning the bitch (would have been my 4th Enzo, but with crappy pics like the second one )
