Automotive: LA Auto Show 11/18/11 [Part II]

Part II is up and running! Some more Lexus, BMW, Nintendo & Hot Wheels (you must be "wtf," right?), and Porsche! I was actually surprised myself to see Nintendo there, promoting Mario Kart 7 for the DSi! Played a round against PureDrifter in multiplayer; safe to say, he was doing what you would expect around the entire track: drifting. 

BMW Electric Concepts

 New and improved 2012 ISF

 Electric Ultimate Driving Machine?




 Twin Turbo V8 anyone? :)



 Oh, just another shot of the LF-A. Because it's that awesome.


 Lunch break at Rock'N Fish! Medium rare ultimate burger was delicious. 

 A fully operational go-kart! 

 I want one of these.



 Yokahama's live wall. The plants are really alive.






 Cayman R, albeit entry level right next to the Boxster, is a very capable car around a track. I would definitely own one.

 DAT WING.

Automotive: LA Auto Show 11/18/11 [Part I]

Alright! Finally had some down time to review my own photos and edit some. Surprising how when you finally have something you want to do, you get loaded with a dozen other different things to do first. 

So I went with some Drive@UCR members to the LA Auto Show this past friday, and I must say, for opening day it was pretty packed. I would first off like to say that I sympathize with other photographers who try to get pictures without people walking right in between you and the car, opening the doors, and spending an eternity there, and whatnot. But patience is a virtue, as sooner or later, they will leave, and there will be that split second where the perfect picture can be taken.

Without further ado, here is the first set of photos from the Los Angeles Auto Show!




 mmm... ZR1...

 The all-new Chevy Sonic! Comes with a turbo-charged inline four. Surprisingly nice interior.

 Scion FR-S! Not a production model though.

 Miata Spyder


 2012 LFA


 Cadillac Ciel

 Cadillac Ciel #2


 Hyundai Veloster. Interesting car, to say the least.




 Subaru BR-Z

 The all-new Lexus GS

 A few more shots of the Lexus LF-A.

 For those who do not know, LF-A stands for Lexus Fuji Apex.

2012 Sonic

 C63 AMG Black Series



Part II will be up soon!
