2010 Vancouver International Auto Show, 200+ pics, 56k

[dontspamme]

I hit up the 2010 Vancouver Auto Show today, it was pretty good compared to other years. We had several exotics today along with some nicer rides.

All pictures taken with iPhone, quality isn't the best by far.

We shall begin.

The day started out nice, spotted this nice Porsche GT3 RS just outside the auto show, he later did a u-turn and floored it up the block... Right past a cop.


Moving on inside, the first few cars that was there,
Audi R8
BMW M3 Hammann
BMW X5



A clean sweep of them all

Beside them, two time attack cars. An STi and Evo.


Both of them together now.


Moving onto the next booth, SR Auto Group brought over 4 supercars. High dollar rides, including the SLR 722 convertible, and the Reventon. Plus two others.


Attempted to get all four in one shot, it didn't work out too well =/

One of the SLR

Two pics of the Reventon, this is car 3/20 which was originally from California. This is also the first Reventon to be modified.


A Range Rover SR also brought.


Moving on a modified Porsche 911 Turbo

And a stock 911 Turbo, minus rims.

This asshole thought it would be a great idea to stand in front of me while I was waiting for the perfect shot. Thanks asshole.



Orange Lamborghini Superleggera, I'm just in love with these things. Just ask Dr. Kustom or STL.




Classic Porsche's.




Misc rides along the way to the main exhibition.





A Smart car getting vinyl wrapped


Random cool liscene plate frames.



Time for some Spykers



A 1932 Dusenburg



BMW M3 racer



Classic Jaguar E-type with the Dusenburg in the background,




2010 Lotus Exige, new wing and front bumper. What do you guys think ? I personally like it after seeing it in person.




1957 Bentley, she was awfully purdy.



Down the ramp and onto the main exhibition floor,




First stop, the Porsche booth.


The two in here, they didn't get out of the car for 10+ minutes, went around to the other booths and they were still in the car.


So, I just shoved my phone in front of them, got a shot of the guages and left.

Moving on to the Panamera,




Range Rover autobiography edition, I like. But the area around it was VERY cramped, so I couldn't get a full shot of the RR.




Moving on, to the SLS. This car looks WAY better in person. I can see myself riding in this.



MASSIVE 15.4" brakes. Gotta see them in person to notice how big they really are.


Next few pictures are supercars MCL brought out.
Ferrari 430 Scuderia, I heard some guy call this a 16m, the 16m is the convertible version of the Scuderia.


Lotus Evora, not what I expected at all. Dislike



Skipped the Gran Turismo there, didn't feel was special enough Went straight to the California.


And the three of them together. Well, the Scuderia is almost in it.

Here she comes, a boat. A half-million dollar boat..


Stainless steel hood anyone ?

Of course, the flying lady.

I never knew these things rolled around on 285mm wide tires...

Bentley Supersports, one of my dream cars. 0-60 in 3.7 while crusing with comfort, who doesn't want that ?


A single picture of the Azure, nothing too special IMO.

Aston Martin Rapide, I'm not feeling it... It looks too not Aston Martin like.


Wheee ! Lamborghini Murcielago and the Gallardo LP560-4. The Gallardo has been sold. I just noticed, I forgot to take a picutre of the two together.


A lone Elise at the end.


Back to the front, tried to get a picture of all of them together.

On wards to the Subarus, just a few shots of the WRX and a modified STi.




Mitsubishi iMiev


Scion's are coming to Canada, so I might as well get a picture of a decent one. The others were crap-tastic.


Note the center exhaust.

2011 Toyota Sienna, who knows what Toyota was thinking with this design.


The famous Terry Fox van,


The Fiat 500, I was more excited to see this then the Reventon 100hp from a 1.4L I4 engine and hits 60 in 10 seconds. I want that in my life.

Pretty cute, eh ?

On to Mercedes, nothing too nice so I didn't bother with pictures. Except, the Mercedes Sprinter. I love this van, I want one. I can nearly stand straight up and down in one and I'm 5'6" The vans are way too big to get good shots of, so I just deleted the rest resulting in only two photos.


The Canadian gold medalist for the Skeleton was also there signing autograpghs.


On to Audi, nothing was much note worth cause their all every day cars, except the TTS and the S5 cabriolet. All of them were dressed up in white except the A8.


Can't forget about the signature Audi LEDs either.

The best of the best, the Audi R8 V10. My absolute dream car. Anyone got one that I can get a ride in ?




Last picture, just so menecing.

On the way out, this classis Mini came by, the driver saw me taking pictures and waved at me. Awsome.


Hoped you guys enjoy the pictures I've taken from the auto show, C&C welcome

Nice car show, those liscene plate frames made my day, haha.

[lol]

Thanks, the plate frames are $20 each, kinda expensive but they're pretty funny !

Haha, yea. The guy standing up in the picture of the 911 was their father I believe. Or some family related person.

I have no idea, but I can stand straight up and down almost and I'm 5'6". The Cargo version of it, I can stand straight up and down in, with my arms stretching up.

[KCowboy620]

what is that yellow car with honda logo on the front its after a black mercedes near the top

[meme405]

you went on the wrong day. on the last day there was a veyron, the first to come to BC.

And audi had an RS4... That thing was sexy.

oh and you didnt get the 40th anniversary edition 370Z?

Good thing my family bought it... Ill up the pics when she comes home...

[texan_idiot25]

100hp from a 1.4L I4 engine and hits 60 in 10 seconds. I want that in my life.

You mean it's as powerful, and as fast as a 1987 CRX Si? My, how far we've come!

I can't wait for them to come actually, I'm quite fond of small cars with big character. Minis are on that list too. Abarth version should be a hoot.

[dontspamme]

I did go on the last day. Which was Sunday. It was a white Grand Sport Veyron correct ? If so, then I've read about it. I always had a soft spot for the RS4, those are just plain sex. I missed it, thinking it was just a 370z... Whoops...

I think I'm just a wee bit quicker Texan ! Lightness is key ! Plus, you'll probably torque steer into a tree with all that power from the VTACK. Mini's old or new are awsome cars. The Cooper that is, the Clubman and the new Countryman is kinda not so Mini.

[meme405]

oh sunday was the last day? i went on saturday... either way the veyron was white. i didnt really pay much attention to it beucase there were so many people...

the RS4 was orange and black it was legit...

And the 370 is nothing special, it just has a few little upgrades (nicer roof line, bigger brakes, new interior.) Other than that its the same 6speed bullet... Im going to rip that thing everywhere though...

CRX Si, 90 hp, 2300lbs~, o-60 in 8-9 sec, 30 city 40 freeway mpg. Small cars haven't gotten any better, strangely. The car also gives a big F-U to a Prius by being fun to drive, and competitive MPG if you were so inclined.

The Clubman is all Mini.


Other than that, I've had my hands on an automatic (sadly) 07 Cooper S... JOY!

You can get a Fiat 500 with 210hp...

a nice ride for the city!

[dontspamme]

Yep, Sunday was the last day. Also the day with the 50% off That white Veyron, if it's a Grand Sport is at the Weissach dealership downtown. Theres always next time for the RS4... Disappointed I missed the RS4, but I did see the GT3 RS.

The fuel is good, just slap a big turbo and you'll be hitting those 0-60 in 6 seconds all day long ! With a blown tranny after the 3rd run. The newer Clubman is the one I'm referring to, wonder if you can fit an adult back there with the RX8 style doors and extra few inchs.
