2011 Detroit Autoshow Photos

[skiboarder72]

I got to spend the early part of this week working at the 2011 Detroit Autoshow. Working the show definitely has its benefits, the biggest one being able to get in before the show is open to the public. Thats right, no one stepping in front of the cars right before you press the shutter, no crying kids, no stupid people posing in cars they will only dream about owning someday. Working the show does have its downsides as well, mainly being you constantly get asked where the bathrooms are. I don't blame them though, it took me a good hour to find them too! My bladder was pretty happy when I finally did!

So if you didn't have a chance to checkout the show in Detroit this year, hopefully these photos will highlight what you missed. Enjoy!

Mercedes had a pretty awesome display

Lovin the new Audi R8 GT (and pretty much anything at the audi booth)

The new Mercedes SLS

The old Mercedes gulwing

Yup, thats a Bentley!

Lexus LFA anyone?

It deserved another shot...

This was probably one of my favorite cars there, the new Maserati Gran Turismo S

Ever seen those ken block videos? Yup thats the car!

This Mayback was probably the biggest "car" I've ever seen! Ridiculous!

The back seat room

I was sold after sitting in the massaging rear seats of the new Hyundai Equus, only $310,000 less than the Maybach, and pretty much the same features set!

The other end of the automotive spectrum

Tesla Roadster, the only electric car I wouldn't mind having

Audi R8 V10 GT

Hello potential next car

LED overload at the lexus display

LOVE the matte finish on the new Mercedes E-class AMG

CTS-V Race Car

Brand new Audi A6 (If you couldn't figure it out by the picture)

Mustang Racing at the Ford Display

The real thing, a boss mustang 302 running at 120MPH on the dyno... man that thing sounds incredible!

Tennis ball colored Mercedes SLS E-cell

New Subaru STI

The lone Ferrari at the show

Nice! Too bad the Lexus LFA isnt as affordable as a Nissan GTR. Toyota cant seem to get it right. They really need something to replace the legendary Supras!

Very nice, did you shoot all these with a single lens?

 

[Trever1t]

I hit one of these like 20 years ago. You got some good shots in!

Nice work. I've seen maybe 150 car show posts over the years. The photography in this one is among the very,very top I've seen.
