Default Pics from the Toronto auto show

Well, Porsche was not there, but Pfaff was, with a GT2 RS......






There were some nice older cars, like a very rare Ferrari 250 California, worth a few million:



an F40


Miura



Daytona



Callaway Lambo..never saw this before



Lexus Lf-A..nice in the metal




SLS everyone likes it but me


The new BMW 6er...nice but conventional

thanks for sharing. Cool shots. looks like not a bad collection of cars compared to recent years. Don't think I will have time to make it this year. that lexus is supposed to be a pretty good car, how did it look in person? also curous; how many hours did you spend there? reason I ask is that IMHO it is a poor layout and takes many hours to see the whole show.

Took about two hours in total. The Lexus looks great in person and there is a huge amount of really subtle work on the shapes of the bodywork components. Big bucks,though.

Thanks for the photos. The Top Gear episode with the Lexus LFA gave a good overview of the car. It's a gajillion $$$ though - about $300k or something??

This is a European GT3 Cup car, hidden along a back hallway of the show and apparently sold to a Canadian customer for about 300 thou. This is the real deal.

I used to go to these shows to see the new stuff, now I just want to see the old stuff (and that pedal car). Thanks for sharing Ronan.
