SELECTED: Porsche 911 & Bentley Continental GTC + mixed Italia @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

In a sad, sad way; this is among the last SELECTED GALLERIES by Martin BILBILDER.SE Persson from the gigantic FRANKFURT IAA 2011 EXPO. We had a real good time there, and I hope it shows in all his pictures plus the 30+ or so VIDEOCLIPS we did there.

But its also a relief to publish it all, and give you the ”goods” so we can move onto other events- there is a dozen of other we have media from; especially video. So lets give you a mix of Porsche 911, Bentley Continental GTC and some different Italian brands to finish it off!

(This beautiful rear light belongs to the Alfa Romeo 4C concept which among several wonderful details had a really unique ”metal” finish to it. There are few brands who can do so many curves and lines on one car and make it work; this concept solidifies Alfas spot as one of the estheticly best out there…)

(Nope, this is not a faceliften Porsche Caynenne. Its not a Jeep Grand Cherokee concept either, although there is a base of one hiding under there somewhere. This is actually the Maserati Kubang which is a daring move for the classic automaker to make. Being a fan of Italian design I do not object to it, but I do hope the ride height is possible to adjust for those few occasions *actually 99% of the time you use your car* that you are not out in the wild driving!)

(I think in hindsight Porsche realised that their 996 generation was a step in the wrong direction for them. Now that the 991 generation is a refinement of the previous, we know ”flattened out” front lights is not the sh*t.)

(Moving on to the rear of the new Porsche 911 there have been some niced ”slimming action” to the lights! I think its pretty useless to describe how fell the lines of a Porsche flow, their work for the past decades does that far too well…)

(This pic reminds me of an old Kylie Minogue song and I think you can take a guess which car had our world ”spinning around” by the chopped roof and big B in the center of the wheel…)

(…following the above picture, its indeed the new Bentley Continental GTC. Being a huge car close to 2500kg it still looks sleeker and more gracious then most of its competition. Running a big W12 engine will probably give it performance to match that look as well. Just a splendid car in every sense!)

Several deep bows later, we can only thank Martin for his contributions down at this expo, looking forward to some of Rani Gilianas work as well which will put us on the finishline for this!

Got any favourites? Let us know, and be sure to join the action in our FACEBOOK GROUP as well! 🙂

VIDEO: 100 seconds of Mini Cooper S Coupé & The new VW Beetle @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

Two more smaller cars that from the one we talked about previously today, are for a more ”hipper” crowd perhaps: Mini Cooper ”Coupé” and the almighty world premiered VW Beetle.

We had to make sure to talk a bit about ”normal” cars as well since they make up a huge part of the FRANKFURT IAA 2011 EXPO. I think these two videos turned out better then i remembered them, actually the Mini Cooper one doesnt make much sense- but is still good for seeing more about this new model.

Funny though. With the VW Beetle I seem a bit… rejuvinated or something? Maybe afterall Iam a closet huge Beetle-freak? See the videos and judge by yourself! 😉

So if you were being forced by your girlfriend (?!) to buy another small car for the house, would any of these two do- or would the Suzuki Swift Sport or Hyundai i30 (new one) be your choice?

Only a handful of clips remaining and we will make a big deal out of it when we are finished, be sure to check them ALL OUT HERE to either make fun of me or just enjoy all the cars from Frankfurt IAA! 🙂

VIDEO: 100 seconds of the new Porsche 911 (991) @ Frankfurt IAA 2011!

We all know we are getting older each time Porsche release a new generation of their 48 year old long standing classic 911. At FRANKFURT IAA EXPO we got to see the newest one dubbed 991. They are taking a step away (?) here from sportiness and have done it a bit longer and sleeker in look, do we like it…?

I would say yes, but perhaps its a little questionmark wheter the car is loosing more of its youthfullness and being even more geared towards a mature audience? Not sure, check out the video and give us your own opinion?

Looking at it again it really does look modernized and more of a gentlemans car rather then a sportscar but… Iam sure the more performance oriented RS-models will cure that quite easily once its their time to hit the market…

Always have to mention we got all the ”100 seconds of…” clips stashed nicely HERE if you got a few minutes to kill listening to my hesitant english; but looking at all the fantastic cars most importantly.

Dont forget all the awesome SELECTED GALLERIES with plenty of blog texts to enjoy! Do it! 😉
