Audi R8

Went to a Lamborghini dealer this weekend and had a blast shooting all the cars they had there. Here's the first one I saw when I walked in. Tried my best to work around the contrasty lighting and reflections, and always had to watch my back to make sure I didn't rub my bag up against any $200,000+ cars

C&C welcome as always.

Nice shots, I love that Audi!

What's the other thing on the brake disk?

Looks like it was a pity that the backgrounds were so busy....

thats the handbrake

They look good. Nice series on it.

superb shots for a showroom (especially the interior ones)

Thanks all! I was really impressed by what the 17-40 could do in there.

Beautiful cars. Glad they let you shoot in the dealer.

They were surprisingly laid back, we were there for about an hour to an hour and a half. Don't tell them but I sat in all of the Diablos and Murcielagos that had the doors open on the upper level

That's the emergency brake caliper. They are not built-in to those massive rear calipers like most cars are.

Nice shots! I love the interior shot

should have borrowed their car out to shoot at a decent location...

nICE!
You got to love the peanut butter leather.....

Thanks!

A lot of people question the burnt orange/red leather a lot of German cars have now, but I love it.

Do the exotic car dealers mind when people just come there to dream?

There's a Ferrari/Maserati dealership a mile from my house, but I've never actually gone. I've always wondered if they cared that I have no intention to buy (well, I have intent, but not the means, :lol , and that I just want to see the snazzy cars up close. They've got all the exotics in their showroom and lot, and I drool every time I drive by.
