White Lamborghini Gallardo

I have a backlog of Lamborghini photos to post since the end of the recent Lamborghini 'drought'. Suddenly all those seemingly 'missing' Lamborghinis re-surfaced, and I was only too happy to take more photos of them!

This beautiful white Lamborghini Gallardo was seen parked outside Hilton Hotel. This place happens to be another hotspot for viewing exotic supercars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris etc., on weekend afternoons especially, besides at Meritus Mandarin Hotel.

I love the Gallardo in white color. Some people find that white is too 'tame' or dull a color for the Lamborghini. It should be in flashy colors like bright yellow, they say. Yellow is after all the trademark color of this Italian supercar.

I do like the Lamborghini in yellow, but white is also fine with me as it looks elegant, provided of course if you can keep your car spotlessly clean when you drive it out. This is my first Gallardo photo, though I've also taken a photo of a white Gallardo Spyder.

Black Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640

After what seems like a long Lamborghini 'drought' of nearly a month, the seemingly elusive Lamborghini re-appeared once more before my eyes! This stunningly beautiful black Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 was photographed outside Meritus Mandarin Hotel, the number one hotspot to view Lamborghinis and other exotic supercars in Singapore!

The black supercar was so shiny that its bonnet kept reflecting the image of the hotel, no matter which height and angle I took the photos from. It was also a bit tricky taking the rear view photo because I had to stand on the hotel service road where all the cabs and other visitors' cars were constantly streaming past. Luckily I managed to snap the above shot before the next vehicle came along!

Black Porche Carrera

The Lamborghini 'drought' continues from last month to this month. Hence I decided to take photos of this black Porche so as not go home 'empty-handed'. The Porche was so spotlessly clean that its sloping bonnet reflects the light easily. You can see the sky on half the car itself!

As I'm not familiar with Porche cars and its various models (being able to confidently identify a Boxster only), I only know that this is a Porche Carrera from the obvious letterings on its boot. I have to admit that the Porche does look good in black color. I usually tend to see them in silver and other light colors.

Yellow Pagani Zonda Roadster

As you can tell from my past blog posts, I've been facing a Lamborghini 'drought' lately. Whenever I go to Orchard Road, I've been seeing many other brands of supercars except for the Lamborghinis. I wonder where have they all gone? On a convoy trip to Malaysia perhaps?

Anyway, I spotted this very unusual looking supercar some weeks ago and decided to photograph it. At that time, I had no idea what brand and model this car is. It was only after I saw video clips of this same car on YouTube that I realised it's a Pagani Zonda, an Italian supercar brand just like Lamborghini!

I find the exhaust design of the Pagani Zonda very unique looking as it resembles a rocket thruster. I read some of the comments on YouTube and learnt that there are only a handful of Pagani Zondas in Singapore! Hence I'm supposed to be very lucky to spot one! However, I still miss seeing the Lamborghinis...

Yellow Ferrari F430

This yellow Ferrari F430 was spotted at the same place and same day as the Red Ferrari F430 I posted about a few days ago. In the past I hardly take notice of such supercars, now it has become my hobby to photograph them whenever I see them.

The back view of this yellow Ferrari looks nicer with better color contrast than its front view. On the whole, I still feel that yellow is more of Lamborghini color while Ferrari looks more solid in red.

Red Ferrari F430

Spotted last month was this striking red Ferrari F430, that's what I believe this model is called. I'm not familiar with Ferrari models and though I'm more of a Lamborghini fan, I couldn't resist taking photos of this bright red supercar.

Like most of my Lamborghini sightings, this red Ferrari was parked in front of Meritus Mandarin Hotel, the favourite hotspot to view exotic supercars in Singapore. I wonder if the food there is really that good, if not I wonder why many drivers of such supercars like to park there?

I've also come to observe that weekend afternoons are the best times to go on a ' supercar safari' trip to Orchard Road. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I get to see Lamborghinis and other supercars being driven along Orchard Road, and I get to listen to the deep roaring sounds of their powerful engines!

"Bumblebee" cars spotted in Orchard Road! - part 2

This 2nd ‘Bumblebee lookalike’, a Lamborghini Murcielago, was spotted outside the same hotel on the same day as ‘Bumblebee I’, that was featured in yesterday’s post. Both cars were parked at the extreme ends of the same row of parallel parking lots. Talk about coincidence! I think both the drivers probably know each other and they could be at the hotel for high tea.

As usual, both ‘Bumblebees’ attracted attention from passer-bys and many snapped photos of this car too. Usually it takes one individual to start taking photos and very soon, other people will follow suit. I wondered if the other ‘photographers’ were fans of high-end sports cars like me.

"Bumblebee" cars spotted in Orchard Road! - part 1

While shopping at Orchard Road over the recent Christmas festive season, I spotted some high-end sports cars parked outside a hotel. Here is one of them.

What struck me was how much their colors resembled the Transformers movie character - Bumblebee! I guess that the drivers or the owners could be ‘Bumblebee’ fans. After all, it is such a coincidence that the colors of their cars are yellow with black dorsal stripes!

Here we have the Hasbro catalog photo of the Ultimate Bumblebee Action Figure from the Transformers movie for compare and contrast. While snapping the photos of the sports cars, I imagined that the cars would suddenly ‘transform’ into their robot forms! That would have been so cool!

There were many other passer-bys taking photos of those exotic cars too. Maybe they were also fans of sports cars, or they were just taking photos because other people were doing the same…
