Singapore Motorshow 2006 *56k warning* - 11-11-2006, 05:34 AM

It's the Singapore Motorshow this week and I'm giving it first hand to you!

I'm just back from over 5 hours at the show, held at two entire levels of exhibition space. I'll let the pictures do most of the talkin'...

Ferrari & Maserati
Both Italian automakers shared a display which had 4 of their proudest stallions: The new 599GTB Fiorano, the F430, The Gransport MC Victory and the Quattroporte Sport GT.

















Lamborghini
Not willing to be outdone by the fellow at Maralleno and Modena, the automaker from Bologna displayed the Gallardo Spyder, the LP640 (customised specially by a local businessman, the first LP640 in S'pore) and the Gallardo.







Subaru
The Japanese automaker had the biggest stand in the whole Motorshow, and for good reason: they presented the new Tribecca SUV and the facelifted Legacy.






Look at that hideous front. I still like Subaru despite of their crime here.

Lexus
The new LS460 on display, as well as their concept supercar, the LF-A. Also, they had a RX400h in cross-section so that one could view the hybrid system in greater detail.





Check out this LED headlights!


Even the short wheelbase LS felt gargantuan.



Russ Swift's stunt show, hosted by Subaru
Some of his stunts are so amazing you'd keep second-guessing on whether he'll crash... But he doesn't. I have a few videos, but for some reason my videos aren't really compatible with YouTube. Took some good pictures nonetheless...


Russ prepares to enter the arena...




Mitsuoka Motors
Just look at these horrendous things.


This is based on the Honda Accord.

This is based on the Nissan Fuga or the Infiniti M45 (I think). Looks like a Rolls from front and back but interior remains as a Nissan. Horrible horrible. But ahem, nice booty lady...


This is the Orochi. Priced nearly as expensive as our Quattroporte. Go figure...

Assorted pictures

Alfa Spider



Subaru something (forgot the name of this pocket rocket)... 300+bhp, does 0-100 in sub 4 seconds.



Lifan 520 - China's version of the 5 Series I see...



Look at that nasty interior!

Toyota Concept


Geely CK - another Chinese car... The invasion commences.


Skoda Octavia VRS - now this is one heck of a car... No budget for a GTI? This is your best bet.


Mysterious i-Drive controller in Ssangyong - yes guys, I saw this in the Ssangyong Chairman... And guess what it is? A container!


Rinspeed ?? - I found this utterly distasteful.


That's all for now guys, until I get to upload my videos... Enjoy!
