Re-post for those who didn't see this over the weekend.

So for the last post I just gave you look at some of the stuff I saw randomly walking around, but today we are getting serious. What follows is the best exotic and luxury cars I managed to photograph.

A lot of these pictures were taken during my multiple trips to Wynn Luxury Car Club. This mecca was only a ten minute walk from my dorm. It. Was. Fantastic. I have been to better places in the states (anybody else been to Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro, NC? I love those guys), but this was definitely the coolest place I got to see in China.

Side note: first time I went here I wore my Nike Frees (Chinese knockoffs technically, but whatever). Because of the surface they use in their showroom my shoes squeaked. It sounded like I was murdering a rubber ducky every time I took a step. Second time I just took them off at the door. Weird, but still less embarrassing.

Say what you will about the FF, but I love it.

Mmmmmmmm dat booty...

My first spotting of an F12. It was not a disappointment (though I really don't like white cars, just as a general rule). Also, sorry for the close up pics, there was no room for good pictures in this place, especially these cars up front

A 1 of 350 Lamborghini Murcielago SV. Hmmm warm feelings.

Because Turbo.

Even better, because Turbo S. Red script is big in China, guess that makes sense (communism joke).

Like G-wagens, C63 AMGs are like Camrys over here. Shanghai is a bad ass city, guys.

Ah, the Hamman Guardian. Such a unique snowflake...

More red badges, but this time it looks pretty awesome.

This was parked on my campus, seemingly in the middle of no where. Personally, I wouldn't let this thing out of a temperature controlled garage if I owned it, but those aren't very common in China. So it's basically just hanging out.

Last string of photos is what happened when I left the Wynn dealership after my first visit. I heard a glorious sound behind, and I turned around to find this marvelous beast approaching. Just imagine the sound...God I love China.

For the finale....

Kitty cat.

Hope you like it, Oppo (the cat and the post).

Oops, that's actually 351.

There are actually less. Lambo didn't get done with all 350 before moving onto Aventador.

Whenever someone says something like this it always makes it feel more special when I see/after I see one.

I have only seen one once for 4 to 5 seconds. I still remember those 4 to 5 seconds. . .

I've seen 2 and one passed by. (Other was at show) I also remember that moment. And the exhaust.

The exhaust sounds mean, even at slow speeds(which is where I heard it). It is a constant stream of power!

That's awesome!

Hmm, that's definitely a Gallardo, but I'm trying to work out which. The jutting chin suggests an LP560-4, but those wheels could almost be off an original Superleggera...

...unless it's a Balboni!!

Here are some more pictures. I agree, it is definitely an LP560-4, and possibly a Superleggera.

Thanks, it was pretty much a paradise. I will definitely be upgrading to a similar camera before returning next year. And I will carry it all the time. I will be doing another post of some weird stuff that I have seen. Here's a preview:

It's called the Wingle, and that is awesome.

Thanks. The LP570-4 Superleggera has a wing on the back and 5-U-spoke wheels, like so:

So I'm sticking with LP550-2 Balboni.

I will second that motion. Because the Baboni is amazing and I want to able to say I saw one.

Ooh, ooh! Actually, if you look closer at that last image you posted and you can see the Balboni stripe in the middle! Didn't notice that before.

Yes and the rims seem to match the Balboni ones in the picture just above.

YES! Check that one off the list. Wish I had the wherewithal to realize that at the time, but still very pleased. Thanks, guys!
