German Car Zone

So i was in Paris last week on vacation with my wife and took a few car pictures for you guys. Most (except the R32 & GT3) were taken on the Champs-Élysées avenue, so here goes.

These were respectively taken from Renault & Peugeot shops on the Champs-Élysées.






The Clio was a supped up Renault F1 Championship Edtion.

And finally a car that I was totally surprised to see on the road… sorry for the quality but I was atop a moving double-decker tour bus when I saw it and had to use full digital zoom which isn’t great.




That same evening, I saw it (I assume the same one) parked in front of the Hôtel de Crillion but had no fresh batteries to take photos

DAMN Siko! I never new Paris was the car mecca?

It really is... to give you an idea, I only took some pics since I was there on vacation and my wife was getting annoyed. 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.

Nice finds.

How did you and your wife like Paris?

We both enjoyed it alot... we're both fans of architecture and art so we had a blast. We've both been there before but only for a few days, this time we had 8 days to fully enjoy the city.

There are a lot of S-Classes... Great spottings. I really like the Carrera GT...and this one is great:

The chaffeurs venerate the V12 (I think) of the S 600... ...

edit: It looks like an AMG - so supercharged V8 or V12 Biturbo...

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.

Champs elysée is the best parisian place to see the great cars but i saw more of them in cote d'azure, specialy in Saint-tropez, but the real place that i advise you to vist even if it's not in france is Monaco.
