Green Lamborghini Gallardo

This lovely and striking green Lamborghini Gallardo was parked outside Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I was there for a school friend's wedding dinner and when we all came out of the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by this rare sight of a supercar in an unsual color. After my friends and I took some photos, the driver came out with his lady companion and then drove off silently. We followed them to the main road but the Lamborghini remained silent as it was driven down the main road..

White Audi R8

I first saw this Audi model parked in front of Tangs a few months ago but didn't get a chance to take a photo of it. Then I saw it being driven along Orchard Road twice. Finally I came across this white R8 parked at Hilton Hotel. Too bad I wasn't able to take a photo of its front view because another car came along and parked there, blocking out most of the car view for a good photo! Nevertheless, it's a quite beautiful car!

Black Lamborghini Gallardo Nera

I believe that this black Lamborghini Gallardo is a Nera because of the matte finishing on its bonnet and roof etc. At first when I was approaching it from a afar, I thought that there was some reflection or mud on its bonnet. It was only when I went nearer did I notice the huge 'raging bull' logo emblossed on the bonnet! Super cool!

Now this particular Lamborghini was spotted at the most unexpected place and timing. I was actually going on a day trip to Malaysia that day. So there I was waiting for my tour mates and tour bus to arrive at the Newton Circus Hawker Centre carpark.

I was a bit early, reaching there before them at around 7.30am on that Saturday morning. Needless to say the carpark was quite devoid of cars and people. It sure didn't take me long to spot this baby in the near empty carpark!

As an added bonus, just before I left the place in my tour bus, the Lamborghini driver came out from the Hawker Centre (after his breakfast there presumably). He started the engines of the Nera and drove it quietly past my tour bus (on the side that I was seated!) to exit the carpark. When he turned to the main road outside, he accelerated off but in a moderated volume of the engine sound. I think he must be tired from a Friday night of partying at St James or Clarke Quay perhaps, and was at Newton Circus for a quick breakfast before heading home to sleep!

Orange Lamborghini Gallardo III

My 3rd sighting of an orange Lamborghini Gallardo (all 3 had different license plate numbers), and the 2nd Lamborghini sighting for me at Marriot Hotel! This one was parked on the other side of the hotel service road, unlike the first one I saw there some months ago. It seems like orange is a popular color for Lamborghini owners here.

Again it was a tricky task getting this photo. My 2-year old 2-megapixel camera mobile phone could not zoom that far, so I had to stand in the middle of the rather busy hotel service road to take a quick shot before the incoming vehicles came in round a blindspot bend. At last I did it and here's the only shot I took. There was no way to take a photo of the back view of the car due to lack of space behind it.

Black Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 II

I rarely need to pass by Hilton Hotel even though it's a hotspot for viewing exotic supercars in Singapore. On this occasion, I was rewarded with another rare sighting of a black Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 parked there. Unlike the other Lamborghinis I spotted there before, this one was parked on the other side of the hotel service road, so I had to cross over there to take these photos.

As with taking photos of shining black supercars that are so low in height, I tend to capture a lot of reflection of the nearby building on the car. There has been another Lamborghini 'drought' for me lately and it has been a long while since I last sighted one. This lucky sighting really made my day!

Yellow Ferrari F430 II

Now this is an exceptional Ferrari photo because it was taken while I stopped my car at a traffic lights junction. Yes I was driving that day and I had just stopped at the red lights when this yellow Ferrari F430 pulled up in front of my car. I quickly whipped out my mobile phone and snapped this photo. It was a great shot as this was the best zoom that my 2-year old 2-megapixel camera mobile phone could manage. As usual, sighting a supercar made me very happy for the rest of the day!

Grey Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

This was the first time I saw this model of Lamborghini in person. When I took these photos in front of Meritus Mandarin Hotel, I did realise that it looks a bit different from the normal Gallardo, besides having the obvious spoiler at the back. The boot has a glass cover that allows you to see the powerful twin engines inside! Now that's a really cool feature!

It was only much later that I learnt that this model is known as the Superleggera, a variant of the Gallardo just like the Spyder. It is also distinguished by a black stripe on each side of the car and black wheel rims, giving it a street rally car image. I like the 'titanium' shade of grey on this Superleggera. I'm sure this color will also look fantastic on the normal Gallardo!

Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Oh I love seeing yellow Lamborghinis and it's the trademark color of this brand of supercar! This is my 2nd sighting of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, the 1st one being a white one in front of Meritus Mandarin Hotel some months ago. Though I not usually a big fan of convertibles, I really love this model simply because it is a Lamborghini, haha!

Whenever I am lucky enough to see a Lamborghini while I'm at Orchard Road or wherever, I will feel so thrilled that my elated feeings last all the way home. I'd also admire the Lamborghini photos that I had just taken with my mobile phone that day while on the way home in the public transport. It's a feeling like striking the lottery for me!
