Orange Lamborghini Gallardo

Yes! I hit another jackpot when I passed by Hilton Hotel on a recent weekend! This is my first photo of an orange Lamborghini Gallardo! I very much prefer to spot and take photos of Lamborghinis and other supercars at Hilton Hotel as there is no barrier between passerbys and the supercars parked there. It's even better if the supercars are parked on the side of the hotel service road that is nearer the hotel, instead of the other side nearer the pavement and vegetation.

Oh mine, this bright orange Gallardo is so beautiful in person! I remember feeling a little awkward as I whipped out my mobile phone to take photos while the hotel doormen watched me. They later told me to go ahead and take the photos. I guess that they are already used to seeing such attention given to the supercars parked there. To think that I nearly 'squealed' with delight when I sighted this car that day! Luckily I kept my composure and didn't, haha!

Lamborghini wheels & logo

These are the close up shots of the wheels and tyres of the Twin "Transformers Bumblebee" Lamborghinis that were mentioned in my previous blog post. I heard from a friend that each Lamborghini tyre costs SGD 5,000.00 to replace! Holy wow! A typical Toyota Altis tyre only costs a 'paltry' SGD 80.00+. Super wow!

Here's the wheel and tyre close up of the other Twin Bumblebee Lamborghini. The same friend of mine also told me that the Lamborghini clutch alone costs SGD 20,000 to replace! My goodness, no wonder the Lamborghini remains a dream car for many. If only I too have the luxury of splurging grands of surplus money on such supercars, like the owners of these Twins.

Last but not least is the photo of the "Raging Bull" logo of mighty Lamborghini. I didn't manage to get an even closer shot of this logo because I was separated by a small fence beside the car. There were also a couple of hotel staff stationed nearby, presumably to 'babysit' the supercars and keep them 'safe' from passerbys. People can see, can take photographs but cannot touch, hehe!

Twin "Transformers Bumblebee" Lamborghinis!

These shots were taken early this year and although their colors are a little unusual for real cars, they remain one of my favourite Lamborghini photos that I have taken. I recognised the ‘Bumblebee’ Lamborghini that was parked in front, as the same one I had previously blogged about. It used to have red colored headlights but it looks better now with clear headlights. The previous red headlights gave it an ‘evil’ look. See the earlier post of my first sighting of this ‘Bumblebee’ Lamborghini here.

I recall being very pleasantly surprised, and so were the many passerbys along Orchard that day, to find 2 Lamborghini Murcielago super luxury sports cars painted in the exact same unusual colors. The cars did attract the attention of many passerbys, as evident in the above photo. I had thought that finding a Lotus and a Lamborghini Murcielago in ‘Bumblebee’ colors was already quite exceptional. I didn’t expect to find another Lamborghini Murcielago adorned in ‘Bumblebee’ colors here and both Lamborghinis were parked together on that same day. I was almost reluctant to leave them after taking their photos. My trip to Orchard Road that day had not been in vain!

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.
