My buddy Steve's new 911 Carrera S

So my buddy Steve upgraded his Boxster S to a new 911 Carrera S cabriolet a couple months back, and he was so excited that he brought it over for a mini photo session...in my garage. Sorry the lighting wasn't the greatest, but his white Carrera stood out fairly well against the gray industrial background. Nice looking car, the small subtle styling changes nicely enhanced the overall look and presence of the 997, and is a significant improvement over the 996.

I like the traditional look of the 911 and this car is more reminiscent of those lines. Circular headlights, flatter horizontal taillights, etc., give it a clean look. The LEDs are a nice touch both front and back, and Steve switched out the side indicators with smoked/clear ones that go well with the white color of the car. The best feature on this 997, however, has to be the wider stance from the rear.

I only got to drive this thing from the street to the garage, thanks a lot Steve!

Audi R8 Spyder + e-tron

Audi has the best looking booth of the LA Auto Show, they always do. The cars are brightly lit and the easy-on-the-eye models help too. The new R8 Spyder is really striking in person and is best viewed from the back. It doesn’t have the characteristic carbon fiber mutton chops of the coupe but instead features distinctive stainless steel louvered vents on the engine tonneau cover behind the headrests. The e-tron’s shape is very similar to the R8’s, and in fact looks like a cross between the R8 coupe and the spyder. Not very refreshing but the formula works.
