Default Geneva sightings: 1 SLR, 2 Phantoms, 3 Maybachs, etc.

Last weekend I was in Geneva to visit the motorshow. I wasn't that long in the centre of Geneva, but I still had a chance to see some nice cars.

Let's start with a really Geneva car: a RS4. It's quite impossible to be in Geneva without seeing a RS4 or RS6. There are really a lot of them driving around. One time I was waiting for a red light to cross the street. I didn't had to wait long the see a RS4 driving by. And a few moments later I saw a RS6 at the other side of the intersection. This blue one was taken from the balcony of our room at the hotel.




A 156 GTA with a non standard exhaust:




Maser 3200 GT standing in the parking lot where our car was parked:




A few meters further I spotted this CL 55 AMG:





The next few are a bit of cheating, cause I spotted them on a parking lot outside the motorshow. I missed another Maybach 62 and a silver SLR by 5 minutes. Too bad, this could have given some nice combo shots. But still this company is pretty impressive:

SLR






Maybachs






SL 65 AMG:




Phantoms:

I know. I realised myself the same thing when I took this pic. So I wanted to take a better one. But the driver of the SLR opened the door and got out. Closed the door and someone else came out that door. They both started chatting. So I thought let's take some pics of the Maybachs and if they go back inside I'll take a good pic. When I was shooting the SL, they actually went inside. But I didn't noticed it at first. And when I saw it I went again for the SLR. But I was too late. They came back outside and drove of with the SLR. So I missed the perfect opportunity for a stunning pic. Life just isn't fair ... but fair enough to let me find these exotics.

It's just blue. Prolly the dirt in combination with the TL lighting make it look like a bicolour one. But it isn't
