VIDEO: ”100 seconds of Swedish automaker SAAB @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

Say what? Did you mean the same automaker that is currently put out of business and ready to be shopped on a huge discount by some random group of Chinese people? I guess so, please dont take this clip too serious-  as we surely didn’t… 😉

The state of the whole ordeal with Saab is quite sad indeed, but we hope they will bounce back as a small ”nische” kind of brand somewhere. But if you can’t play with the big dogs of the upper middle class of the auto industry you can’t expect to be bailed out by the government. What do you guys think?

 

Far more (serious) ”100 seconds of…” clips can be found in a neat and tidy thread HERE. Enjoy! 🙂

VIDEO: En liten glimt av Alex nyankomna RE-Amemiya Widebody RX-7!

Idag är det måndag och det efter en vecka som verkligen (än en gång!) var utan dess like i stress. Inte ofta man får ”klämma in” att ta emot en container samma vecka som man är på BILMÄSSAN I FRANKFURT faktiskt…

Blir lite lugnare nu, och vi kommer fokusera på att fortsätta mata ut material från Frankfurt och bit för bit göra de sista sakerna innan säsong 10/11 officiellt är avslutad…

En liten film på Alex nyankomna RE-Amemiya widebody RX-7 med sina gryyymma 19″ Advan T7 fälgar bjuder vi dock på:

Rapportera gärna om filmen funkar bra att spela upp, den är upplagd på VÅRAN FACEBOOK och nu när man har en bra telefon att filma med så blir det nog mer videos från ”ute på fältet” också.

Kommentera alltså mer än gärna med hur detta gick, och givetvis vad ni tycker om bilen också? 🙂

SUPERIOR SELECTED: Lamborghini, ”ti voglio bene” – Frankfurt IAA 2011

Here comes a serious SUPERIOR SELECTED gallery from FRANKFURT IAA MOTORSHOW  2011 filled with Italian passion as strong as a cup of ristoretto: Automobili Lamborghini and all the raw energy they brought to the expo!

 

Going over all the things we loved at the expo makes it hard to keep all descriptions on a relative balanced level, but let me just explain that this stall truly was one of the showstoppers at the expo. Make sure you also watch the ”100 seconds of…” videoclip we did of their stall.

 

Extremely happy about that one so go watch it, but now lets see how Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson with free acces did his best to show why we are still in ecstasy talking about this part of our Frankfurt visit…

 

 

(Lets try and put this angle of the photo into perspective, and think about how many other journalists at this moment were watching Martins behind being in the way of that one perfect shot. The timing of this photo is superb, seeing the two large monitors had all sorts of crazy video going on apart from the wild bull logo…)

 

 

(Seeing two such contrasting colours on the Aventadors was very pleasant for the eyes. I know the typical choice would be the matte black one, but the white would not be totally crossed from the list as a complement if it was just  matter about Monopoly money. Where do you place your heart, white or black?)

 

 

(And here is the black Aventador with its devilish temporary owner (?). We played a little game of ”car or …?” and eventhough Christian Bale will drive this in the new Batman movie the choice was certainly not clear for all of the members in the Superior Team on location in Frankfurt…)

 

 

(*Obvious tagline* of that Lamborghini surely had our world spinning around. Funny thing is that among over 30 different clips me and Martin shot over two days, there was only one place which had us ”starstruck” enough to forget to put on the microphone the first time around. Ouch! Luckily the Italian gentleman just had a quick laugh about it an gave us acces to the stage one more time to shoot THE CLIP again.)

 

 

(And one from the rear of the Aventador giving you all you need about them. There was talks about Lambo bringing their ”Sesto elemento” car again just to make it official that they are going into production, but instead we were presented with…)

 

 

(…The Gallardo SuperTrofeo Stradale, which is the highest specified yet to come from them- very close to a racecar for the street. Rumors have it that they have done some tuning of the firing sequence on each cylinder, just to give it an even more unique sound in the exhaust. Not that a factory Gallardo is really that bad either…?)

 

 

(A rare (?) shot of the Lamborghini grid girls in a bit more casual outfits then usual, and in a very playful mood. These ladies were rightfully semi-worshipped at the expo, and several extra stops at their stall were made just to put a new smile on any tired mans face again. Martin also commented that they did take a flight home to Rome just opposite of their gate, so you normal visitors wont see them there sadly.)

 

 

(……………….!)

 

 

If thats not a treat for you to end this long week, then you got incredibly high standards! If your lucky enough, you will use this as a boost for that monday morning soon coming up as well. Gotto say just the amount of memories Lamborghinis stall gave us made the trip worth it. But then we got a dozen more almost as good stalls to report from. So, the journey has just began here in the Superior-blog.

 

Now dont forget to add us to Facebook (OUR PAGE and MARTINS as well) and if you seriously don’t want to miss out on all the ”100 secs of…” clips coming; add THIS LINK as well.

 

Been a crazy week, which no matter how many fun things we’ve endured has taken its toll on us. But a grande amount of blogging will fix all that. 🙂

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Mercedes luxury concept @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

Coming of the CADILLAC CONCEPT we did a video of, we got another impressive one from Mercedes that has ”luxury in the future” written all over it- so coming from one of the German giants it was a blockbuster indeed in FRANKFURT IAA 2011 EXPO!

I think the best line about this concept was used in the video, that even Lady Gaga would blend in and not look her usual crazy self if she sat in this car. Fun to see a brand very aiming towards more strict and ”business” sort of appeal make both this luxury concept and the A-klasse they also did so wild!

I was lucky enough to catch this beast in motion for a few seconds before I was drowned in the crowd that was present during Mercedes mega-pressrelease show, and if this is a hint of how the future might look Iam all for it– sign me up today!

This is the last video feature of the day, in total there is around 30 of them and we gather them all IN THIS POST so you can easily keep track of the action.

Hope you’ve all had a pleasant sunday, and before you go to bed- Lamborghini will give you something to dream about as Martin Persson has a gallery coming… 🙂

SELECTED GALLERY: Brittish special @ Frankfurt IAA (Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini & Lotus)!

Getting back on the wagon in showing you all the beautiful SUPERIOR SELECTED photographs we captured at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW, a ”british special” with brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini & Lotus to name a few!

 

Among these true gentleman of the car world we haven’t included Aston Martin, but thats because they will get a gallery of their own. But now lets just enjoy 16 splendid pictures by Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson to enjoy while you drink your old fashioned afternoon cup of earl grey tea!

 

 

(The new Lotus Evora GTE came down like a matte yellow thunderbolt and truly stood out in proud fashion with its endless amount of pornographicly hot (!?) carbon. Its not the most original conclusion to say matte is ”all the rage” right now, but picking yellow was a winning move to seperate from the rest in our opinion!)

 

 

(The most common question I got coming home was expected; ”what was the best car at the expo?”. You wont have much succes asking me this, but when it comes to the chap behind the camera of these photos- the answer is certain when it comes to one selection only… Jaguar C-X16! We did duel a bit about our first impressions since I was expecting it to be more low-key, but as the ”100 seconds of…” video will show- it won me over. Great concept!)

 

 

(The ladies in the Jaguar stand were as classy as the cars, not going to go ”Project: Runway” on ya’ll but its great to see women being… women and not just objects to showcase certain parts- often made of plastic…)

 

 

(One of the most confusing upcoming ”100 secs of…” clips will be the one with the new Mini Cooper Coupé which I could not… relate to. If you just have to make a coupé of something as firmly molded as a Mini try to make it a little bigger or wider? Or am I just being jelous of them being one of the recent years winners in being a really ”hip” brand or something? Quick mention of this being a ”John Works edition” which is a sportier pimped up sort of model. Got it?)

 

 

(One more really good one of the Lotus Evora GTE in all its glory, its a shame that the pricetag gets so damn high whenever you want to pass up to something like an Exige or something more exclusive then the base grade ones. If they are making a pitch to compete above a sort of ”gymkhana supercar” segment they’ll have to get up in size quite a lot on the cars themselves…)

 

 

(Land Rover toughened up from the other lads in this gallery, and you got two concepts from them at this expo. They are also a brand that are sort of trying to find themselves again since Range Rover is the ”younger brother in a suit” while the old school ”I can handle anything” sort of attitude isn’t enough to compete with dozens of cheaper brands that offer cars that do the same. A bit… ignorant to say, but honestly don’t have too many opinions about them. How about you?)

 

 

So thats a lot of love for the british automakers and a good mix for you to enjoy. We are taking our time here making these posts count, eventhough we are tempted to just splash them out on you all without any text. Got at least one more gallery to share with you before sunday is over, and two more ”100 seconds of…” which you can FOLLOW HERE GATHERED as well!

 

As always, dont be afraid to post a comment or two below and it would always be a good token of appreciation if you ”Liked” our Facebook pages (both OURS and photographer MARTINS!).

VIDEO: 100 seconds of the Cadillac Ciel concept @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

Expect to  be taken back in time in the best possible way with Cadillac Ciel concept which was one of the most ”genuine” design studies revealed at the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW.

 

By ”genuine” I mean that it wasnt some posh attempt into pleasing everyone or trying to be something your brand is not, instead its what concepts is all about- giving some ”haute couture” of the most extreme things people relate to your brand; and also a bit of history put in it. Rating this as one of the best cars of the expo, enjoy:

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Honda Civic 2012 world premiered @ Frankfurt IAA!

Here is another video world premiere from FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW all of us ”JDM-freaks” will find interest in; the brand new generation of the Honda Civic 2012!

 

They claim this car is ”two generations ahead” of its production cycle, but I would have to say that by looking at the exterior- its a bit too bold statement. Maybe it will live up to those words after a testdrive, but we were not too conviced by this first impression sadly…

We have no doubt about that all the different tuners in Japan vill still make this something interesting, but I guess we are still living in a world where we think about things from an enthusiasts perspective; but in reality automakers have to create cars that will sell to the general public.

Also CHECK OUR FACEBOOK (CLICK!) to get even more info anytime we release something new. Sometimes the blog is updated several times a day, so a perfect way to know when it happens although there are always spontaneous surpries as well!

We have finally counted them all in, and the final number of features Team A (Martin Persson and ”Mike”) did at this expo is around 30…! We are proud to have accomplished this, two days at this place is normally what it takes just to learn where everything is located. But we did it, and David @ SUPERIOR MEDIA has done a fine job of quickly uploading them so we can publish them for you. Here we go:

——————–

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM COUPÉ!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Rolls Royce Phantom Coupé from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Get more VIP then ever with this world premiere, a two-door coupé of the phenomenal Phantom model. Is Johnny English going to be a better movie with this car having a lead part…?

PORSCHE 911 NEW GENERATION 991 WORLD PREMIERED!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Porsche 911 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Dont have much to say about this one, another generation of Porsche- and we all get older. The design though is not, and its pretty sharp; but is it growing towards an ”older” type of customer base? You decide…

ALFA ROMEO C4 CONCEPT WITH VERY HOT ITALIAN LADY!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Alfa Romeo C4 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

We all know Alfa Romeo make beautiful cars, and we all know Frankfurt IAA is a real treat filled with beautiful women as well during the press days; but did we expect to be totally speechless about what they brought to the expo…? No, and I think it shows in the video as well.

 

DACIA DUSTER 850HP PIKES PEAK RACECAR!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Dacia Duster Pikes Peak from Superior Media on Vimeo.

One of the positive surprises of the expo was that Dacia brought a car which could compete for the ”highest HP” award. Athough far from its stock form, the ”Duster” which is a 850HP racecar to climb mountains like Pikes Peak, was a mean sight to behold.

SAAB IS NOT OUT OF BUSINESS, OR ARE THEY…?!?

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Saab from Superior Media on Vimeo.

They were supposed to be there, but after carefully studying our little map of the expo and looking around… Well, this is just confusing and should not be taken seriously. No Victor Muller on site!

FERRARI 458 SPIDER HARDTOP WORLD PREMIERED!

 

 

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Ferrari 458 Spider from Superior Media on Vimeo.

As expected, nothing was more of a pain in the ass then to get clear acces to the worlds most (deservedly) posh brand Ferrari. Since we are going to do a special about it later this fall, we honestly didnt try harder then this; but if you are a fan of the prancing horse then check out the clip anyway!

BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GTC WORLD PREMIERED!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Bentley Continental GTC from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Another splendid convertible making its world premiere and making rich peoples lives even more difficult; ”which one should I buy?!”. Oh the poor things, well all we can say which makes logical sense is that the new GTC is one of our favourites if its all about arriving in style and cruising around!

 

ASTON MARTIN ZAGATO & ONE-77!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Aston Martin from Superior Media on Vimeo.

You know you will never ever be dissapointed looking at the perfection which is Aston Martin, but imagine seeing their brand new Italian-influenced Zagato concept and right away skipping over to their supercar the One-77? Well, thats what this clip has to offer so take a look…

MERCEDES LUXURY CONCEPT AND MAIN EVENT HEADLINER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Mercedes Luxury Concept from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

If you liked the almost rude in eye-catching capabilities Cadillac concept, you will equally love what the German giant Mercedes brought with them to the expo. This Luxury concept oozes of science-fiction futuristic vibes and I doubt there is anyone that could match it in being 100% fabolous- not even Lady Gaga!

CADILLAC CIEL CONCEPT!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Cadillac Ciel from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

Another personal favourite now that we’ve had time to evaluate things, and I think the video made the concept some justice too- not going to win any awards for pure design… but as a concept and to demo what the Cadillac brand is all about; surely a winner!

HONDA CIVIC NEW GENERATION 2012!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Honda Civic from Superior Media on Vimeo.

 

A car they called ”ahead two generations” has a lot of hype to live up to, and we were not too impressed although we found some positive things to say about the front end of it. But could have been something ”more” right?

BMW M5 (F10) 2012!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of BMW M5 from Superior Media on Vimeo.

The brand new BMW M5 with its twin-turbo V8 engine did not dissapoint at all, in a way its more aggresive then ever- but still keeping us confused on how good they are still making it look so ”understated”. Check out the mental malfunction of combining Swedish with English to say ” B M W ” as well. 😉

LAMBORGHINI (AVENTADOR x2, GALLARDO SUPERTROFEO STRADALE & MORE!)

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Lamborghini from Superior Media on Vimeo.

Lamborghini was as expected quite a ”top dog” with their presence at Frankfurt, not is size; but in sheer candy for the visual sense. Make sure not to miss their special ”Lamborghini gridgirls” which this clip did capture some goodness of as well..

MERCEDES SLS AMG ROADSTER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster from Superior Media on Vimeo.

A very anticipated car and of the ”german giants” biggest releases at the expo. A car that is firmly sold with ephasis on the ”gull-wing” doors has lost them, and some unique for Mercedes misses in 100% quality. Strange?

AUDI R8 GT SPYDER!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds of Audi R8 GT Spyder from Superior Media on Vimeo.

One of my favorite cars now that the expo has kind of sunk in. Made some valid points on how added carbon goodness and all the other aggresive details finally made the R8 the supercar Audi wants to promote it as. You also get to see some of he interior of the very impressive hall they had built from scratch!

TOYOTA FT-86 CONCEPT FINAL (?) VERSION!

Frankfurt IAA Auto Expo 2011 – 100 seconds with Toyota FT-86 concept from Superior Media on Vimeo.

For all us big JDM-fans out there, this car had the most relevance to it as its almost being seen as a ”messiah” to rejuvinate our part of the car-world. Seeing it in person, lots of Lexus LFA but some remarks on the wheels and rear spoiler.

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Lamborghini pure sex @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

superiorsfet4I doubt there is much to tell when it comes to Lamborghini as a brand, and what you can expect such a godlike institution in sex appeal to give us at an expo as huge as the FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW 2011.

We were (of different reasons) totally starstruck by their stall here, bringing 2x Aventadors and their ”final edition” (?) of the Gallardo; called Super Trofeo Stradale. Accompanying each of these three jaw-droppers were three equally (??) stunning signorinas which had plenty of the crew talking throughout the expo… 😉

Just sit back and relex, try to catch the details in this info- and please do notice the unmistaken smile on my face as it truly is turned up a notch or five-hundred as I did say in the video as well. Lamborghini, we love you!

Riktigt fet Silvia S15 vs På allvar ännu fetare Mazda RX-7 i garaget!

Jobbat trippel övertid idag sedan klockan 04.30, så lite mör som man brukar (men inför lossning glömmer att man kommer bli). Kan dela en teaserbild av det som vi ska jobba med under morgondagen:

Var enormt konstigt lastat denna gång, så det tog oss mycket längre tid än vanligt. Fick därför ingen riktig överblick över bilarna, men det tar vi igen imorn istället…

Usch så skitiga och ledsna bilarna ser ut, men vi ska få dom må bättre imorn som sagt! Nu blir det en öl med grabbarna, har insane mycket material från Frankfurt som ska ut imorn hela dagen. Vad sägs om minst 4st ”100 secs of…” klipp från mässan?! 😀

Måste skynda vidare mot en väntande containerlossning!

Trist nog trots en drös nya bilder från Martin Persson på två helgrymma amerikanska (Ford & Cadillac) koncept och dessutom en massa från Gatebil Rudskogen av Ronny @ JAMedia- så måste jag rulla vidare för att ta emot en container i Katrineholm!

 

 

Ikväll ska jag sitta med flera inlägg som ska upp, så det kommer bli större volym än vanligt på antalet inlägg; men det är ni väl bara glada över? Vi kör en ”dagens låt” också bara för att runda av:

Och ja, är ett väldigt stort fan av Kasabian som ni säkert hört i flera av SUPERIOR MEDIA filmerna om ni nu är musik-fantaster. 😉

VIDEO: 100 seconds of the new BMW M5 (F10) @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

A personal favorite at FRANKFURT 2012 IAA MOTOR SHOW which made its world debut at the expo, was the new 2012 BMW M5- dubbed F10 in generation name.

 

This beast in a perfectly cut for understated performance suit could become the best one yet. I particularly like the front end, but not quite sure all my raving of it are justified just seeing this video again. Take a look and see if you agree that the little more ”extended” lines pointing forward are seen are not- loved it anyway…

 

PS. Can you spot the obvious fails in my english saying the cars name? 😉

SUPERIOR SELECTED: Brief pictoral summary Frankfurt IAA Motor show 2011

Finally the officially first SUPERIOR SELECTED gallery of many to come from the FRANKFURT IAA MOTORSHOW 2011 event. This is just scratching the surface of this humongous expo which if not the biggest then easily one of them!

Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson is the man behind the camera, and while still working on getting the material sorted out- this is like I wrote a mixed bag to know whats coming. If you got any special requests, dont be shy to comment below and make sure to LIKE OUR FACEBOOK so you wont miss anything coming out here.

(Starting out with heavy hands, we got this MANSORY deamon of a car for you. This Ferrari 458 Italia has got any carbon bit you could ask for, and for those who feel ”there is never too much of it” I dare to say this is a real dreamcar. They had several of the worlds premium vehichles at their stand and did everything in black and white which was quite sexy. But why do I get the feeling the JDM tuning-scene knew about the goodness of this like 10 years ago already…?)

(There were dozens of world premieres going on all the time, and we gave up after the third or fourth one eventhough some were quite a show to witness. This is from Subarus stand unveiling their new Subaru XV they call a ”compact SUV”. To be honest comparing this presentation with something the bigger brands had made it look quite… simple. But I’ll never forget Martins reenactment of it later on our hotel, with perfection capturing the moment by crossing two socks over a shoe… Oh you had to be there to get it.)

(We’ll have a lot more from the Aston Martin stand as well, which was somehow a dissapointment lacking totally in flair and cars just ”mashed in” together. How can you feel otherwise when I actually had to take my second lap of this place to spot the One-77 they had brought along? Since its one of my personal dreamcars I took a real close look and confirmed what I suspected; this car doesnt look nearly as much of a supercar on pics as in person. The lines are just ”too perfect” to understand how wide and mean it really is from just a picture. What do you feel about the colour?)

(There were plenty of good-looking women at the expo, and the common theme was that the classiest had Italian heritage. Naturally stands like Alfa Romeos were very popular to revisit during the day…)

(Just like you can imagine, the amount of ”design concepts” being shown was almost silly. Some were just plain unnecessary as if the ”if you dont have anything good to say, don’t say it at all”. Its afterall a matter of showing what the engineers in more playful and without boundries are coming up with within the brand, not a type of gimmick you must have at a large expo. With that being stated, how do you feel about this Chevrolet concept?)

(Although far from being a combination of an expo which also includes motorsport, Audi were busy showing their new Audi A5 DTM coming this season. Some brands brought their ”big dawgs” in different racing classes with them as well, but it was honestly far from a priority- and they were more or less treated less then ”icing on the cake”. This was actually outside of the huge built from scratch hall Audi had, proving that statement. More from inside there coming…!)

(Something we wont try and keep secret is that we really liked the Lamborghini stand at Frankfurt. A lot. Immensly even! Having two Aventador and the brand new limited edition Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale gave plenty to look at. I do know something the people did not like to look at was Martins back when we got a special moment inside the closed barriers surrounding it = you know we got gooood pics coming up.)

(The Superior Team which gives me a super occasion to individually thanking them one by one. From the left: Martin Persson (FACEBOOK) who was my partner all days, never afraid of some hard work and to give brutally honest opinions in decision-making. Pierre Ingelsgård who with his enthusiasm and knowledge lightyears ahead of my own in the ”connoiseur” type of cars was a very valuable addition to the team, be sure to read his OTHER BLOG to know more about the charachter this dude is. And finally to my own left we got Rani ”RANISFOTO.SE” Giliana who is like a younger Martin in the making, both in skills and charachter. Never ever a single whine and positive attitude to always give it his best contributing to the team. Thanks to all of you!)

Hope you enjoyed this, and dont be afraid to drop of a few comments below if there is anything you want to ask us. Being down there in Frankfurt was honestly a car enthusiasts slice of heaven; so we really want to share with each and every one of you. Dont be shy to give requests!

Still just a small sample gallery, and lists are still being made on what to blog about from the expo. I think we will start to get seriously busy in around a day or two, but we also hope some SUPERIOR MEDIA ”100 second of…” clips will drop in the blog regularly.

You can expect tons of stuff coming, so really hope you have bookmarked THE BLOG and have ”liked” us on OUR FACEBOOK so you never miss anything. 🙂

Feel free to share the above links, got someone who likes cars and the lifestyle around them- pass it on to let more people know about us and the media we post for your enjoyment!

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster @ Frankfurt IAA!

This clip eventhough we had to superrush it and squeezing with a ton of other TV-teams, shows a quick glimpse of the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster having just been world premiered at FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW!

 

We did a lot of these ”100 seconds of…” features, and some were more obviously improvised then others- but we felt this car and the unusual lack of some finishing touches made it worth posting. If you didnt like this particular one, no shame in admitting so in the comments below!

We made it a little thin red line to follow to show you some of the premium convertibles coming out very soon, and the importance of the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster I guess forgives the journalistic quality of this clip. Hope you find something useful, and if not- 100 seconds is not too much time to waste! 😉

Today we got the world premiered Audi R8 GT Spyder being given 100 seconds of attention from the Superior Media team down at the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 MOTOR SHOW. The specially built from scratch Audi hall was very busy, and we were competing with many other video teams just to get a glimpse of this incredible machine!

I would have loved to see more of this car in action, it was actually running laps around inside the hall but it was mostly ”gimicky” to impress rather then giving up its true engine sound etc. Really impressed with Audi this time around, even if they will forever be the little brother of BMW and Mercedes they are as a brand honestly becoming exciting as hell!

 

Hope you like these snippets we call ”100 seconds of…”, lot more of those coming up and also recap-blogging with quality pics from both Rani Giliana and Martin Persson.

 

Shame the expo is over, but gotto admit seeing the material and to share it will each time be like revisiting these two extremely memorable days! 🙂

Ett axplock bilder från första dagen på Frankfurt IAA bilmässa 2011

Innan vi går och lägger oss måste vi ju belöna alla våra trogna svenska läsares tålamod och uppmuntran med ett litet axplock blogg och bilder och från Frankfurt IAA bilmässan 2011 iaf?

 

Martin ”BILBILDER.SE” Persson och jag har sållat över de mest (spontana) bilderna han tog mellan varven av ca 90% filmande, mest ”100 seconds of…” typ av features som vi bestämde att göra. Slutsatsen är fyra stycken som alla har en liten story bakom sig.

 

Det blir mycket mer av den här varan, och vi hoppas ni förstår att det inte riktigt är det himmelrike man kan tro i tillgängligt nät och framförallt ro att lägga ut materialet vi fångar…

 

 

(SLS AMG Roadster var ju en efterlängtad release, och även om den vanliga versionen förmodligen blev så omåttligt populär tack vare sina ”måsvinge-dörrar” och starka koppling till gamla ur-klassikern SL; så ser denna riktigt bra ut utan dom. Däremot ifrågasätter vi om en verkligen är ”färdig” då det fanns många banala skvanker som att cabben så lite hafsigt ihoptryckt ut nedcabbad, och dörrar ärligt talat hade rätt dålig passform mot karossen? Inte likt Mercedes…)

 

 

(Den stora fienden till ovan Merca när det gäller att åka med toppen av, är Audis R8 GT Spyder som lanseras på samma dag. Där vi tyckte SLS drogs med ett par frågetecken på kvalitetskänsla, så gör denna totalt tvärtom och fick oss smälta totalt med sina underbara detaljer. Visst, Audi har gjort sig kända som en premiumtillverkare på detta vis; men vi tycker med denna mer ”trackday inspirerade” version de på allvar ger sig in i samma liga som Lamborghini och Ferrari t.ex. Stor favorit!)

 

 

(Är man på världens viktigaste och pampigaste bilmässa så kommer man även få se en hel del damer av samma ”klass” om man nu får objektifiera lite. Pierre lyckades bli kär hela tre gånger på mässan, och denna donna av Italienskt ursprung hos Lamborghini var en av de vållande. Bedöm själva och lämna en kommentar, Pierre hade rätt bryska kommentarer om jämförelsen med Elmia-brudar som vi tyvärr inte kan sätta i pränt…)

 

(Man ska vara stolt över sitt ursprung, och efter ett litet snack med en av cheferna bakom detta koncept Volvo kallar ”You” kände man det än mer. Vi ska göra en djupdykning av denna minimalistiska studie av skandinavisk lyx under morgondagen- men faktiskt så kände vi att det fanns en uppriktighet och mening bakom ”snacket” också som intresserade oss mycket. Well done Volvo, dessutom utan att skämmas ”det mest svenska som vi gjort på länge” i syftan på var kompetensen bakom konceptet från A till B funnits!)

 

Imorn blir det lite mer fokus på att fotografera, Martin har inte tagit en enda ”seriös” bild utan allt är mer ”papparazzi” på fri hand mellan att vi filmat. Är ändå otroligt många filmer likt den av TOYOTA FT-86 vi gjort innan. Så målet att ”visa hur det är på plats” ska vi absolut kunna nå när allt är sagt och gjort…

 

Har ni några önskemål? Läst om något spännande som ni vill ha våran åsikt på? Eller bara hissa/dissa någon i teamet? Bring it on i kommentarerna nedan! 🙂

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Toyota FT-86 concept @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

We here at SUPERIOR MEDIA bring it easy and rather with more enthusiasm then rambling facts and deep conclusions. The Toyota FT-86 concept is one of the news any JDM-fan in waiting for, and we went right for it at FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW 2011 to give you a ”100 seconds” feature of it:

We wont apologize for my lack of experience in front of the camera, and the whole segment is un-rehersed so you’ll find a glitch here and there. But hopefully it will make you more curious about the concept, because sure as hell there are hundreds of others who have done more elaborate in-dephts reports on this.

 

We just like to call this scratching the surface and having fun with our visit to Frankfurt. Feel free to bring some constructive opinion on whay you think? 🙂

*SHORT UPDATES LIVE @ FRANKFURT IAA 2011!*

We ask everyone to read the COMMENTS BELOW to get some occasional updates by Team A (Martin & Micke) from the expo. Easier said then done to get regular updates! 🙂

Gissa vem som var på Gatebil Rudskogen i helgen; teaserbild!

Ronny @ JAMedia var den som i helgen som precis passerat oss tog sitt pick och pack tillsammans med hans vän Michel Rayes @ TEAM PONY DRIFT för att åka till Rudskogen i en grym foto / drifting combo! Här har ni ett smakprov från Mr. Thomasson som alltid levererar när det kommer till stämningsfyllda actionbilder on the fly:

 

 

Föga förvånande är det en bil med anknytning till Team Driftmonkey som gjorde sig bäst för en första bild, men oavsett vilket stall denna gamla BMW tillhör så går det ju inte förneka att bilden verkligen skriker ”DRIFTING!!!” med sin framtoning…? 🙂

 

Ser fram emot resterande bilderna från Ronny, glöm inte att leta upp HANS FACEBOOK och gilla!

 

Nu är det en hel del ärenden innan avresa till FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW 2011 så kommer nog bli rätt lugnt på bloggen. Wish us luck!

24 timmar innan avresa till Frankfurt + ankommande JDM-container!

Denna vecka blir ännu en sån där ”ska vi se om vi överlever detta” i tempo då vi som #1 ska till FRANKFURT IAA BILMÄSSAN 2011 redan imorn då jag och Rani Giliana tar flyget ner, samt att det kommer en container lastad med tuuunga JDM-bilar samma vecka!

 

Det har inneburit en helt ny standard på förberedelser, och jag är idag faktiskt rätt nöjd med hur det ser ut. Ett litet ryck i eftermiddag innan det ska varvas ner lite, samt en tidig uppstigning imorn- så bör allt vara i sin ordning för att båda de stora händelserna ska gå bra.

 

Får passa på och tacka Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson för att ha tagit ett bra ansvar för att hårdanalysera det hela vansinnigt intensiva schemat av premiärer som kommer gå av stapeln första dagen i Frankfurt.

 

Genom att splitta oss i två team kommer vi försöka vara på plats och uppleva de viktigaste märkenas premiärer på ett effektivt sätt. Ska bli otroligt spännande!

 

Går man sedan vidare på denna container som ska komma med fyra otroliga JDM-pärlor så känns även det bra då manskapet utökas under de kritiska fredag+lördag då jag lovar vi ska dela med oss av mycket kring det som sker. Vet inte riktigt vilken bil jag ser mest fram emot av de som burken innehåller, men är lite dryg och säger att eftersom jag är minst nervös för denna så väljer jag den- Nissan Skyline DR30 Turbo-RS X:

 

 

Men jag lovar att den är den slöaste och skabbigaste av alla fyra, så förutom dess otroliga kultighet och entusiastvärde så är den väl på pappret inte den mest attraktiva, utan då kanske man får välja någon av dessa två otroligt välbyggda pure JDM-quality parts used fordon istället:

 

Adam Olssons Nissan Silvia 2002 ”L-package”:

 

 

Alex från ö-viks Mazda RX-7 ”RE-Amemiya N1 widebody” -99:

 

 

Det är lite tråkigt och för oss pinsamt hur länge det tagit för bilarna att komma hem, men faktorer man inte kunnat påverka har spelat in- och vi har lärt oss ännu mer trots gedigen kunskap av ca 50-talet containrar gjorde att man ändå var förberedd på det mesta…

 

Då vet ni officiellt att Superior-bloggen gör en mix av att ”gå till sina rötter” och verksamhetens primära inriktning denna vecka, men även tar nya kliv uppåt när det gäller mediabevakning.

 

My oh my, när detta är över och vi hunnit bearbeta mycket annat som snart brakar sönder dörrarna på ”vårat lager” i media etc så blir det en weekends stritk semester tror jag… 😉
