There were also many cars I missed in pictures (notably a couple of Maybachs & Murcielagos) and many would-be duplicates (I think we saw at least 5 Gallardos and good few Maseratis). And to think those pics @ the Champs-Élysées were taken only on 2 occasions... and we were there maybe one whole hour combined. I imagine if we stayed longer we'd see a sh** load more cars.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: My Trip to Paris: The Cars The avenue was loaded with limo-taxis... 90% of them were brand new S-Classes, the rest were mostly E-Classes, a few of 7er & some W220 (sadly no A8s). Without exageratting, there were about a hundred of them at one time parked on both banks of the Champs-Élysées and driving by on the avenue. I don't remember seeing any AMG version so I think it was an S600... most of the massive S-class fleet were S320 CDIs though.
