Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[F1GTRUeno]

I really like the original F-Type but that is awful.

Been a while since a good/bad facelift thread has been made but that would absolutely go in the bad pile.

Yep, wtf was Jaguar thinking, the F-Type has just gone full anonymous and generic, it's just meh!

And a Prototype Jag F-Type spotted Northern Quarter today which isn’t a much of a looker compared to the previous version.

Have they pinched the Maserati stylist from 15 years ago?

[STIfree]

My guess is, in typical Jag fashion, they tried to copy the new Aston Martin Vantage with the smaller headlights and positioned lower down. But it really hasn't worked out well for them.

Can't say it's worked out particularly well for Aston, either. Headlights look very new-MX5-ish.

I've never been a fan of the F-type, but in white, this one is properly ugly.

I think it looks odd because it's in full 'lease spec' - white paint, relatively small wheels etc.

But yes, the headlights do look slightly down.

When you say prototype do you just mean “the new shape one”

Nope, I meant prototype as it had a sticker on the front saying so.

OK i think when THEY say prototype (then) i think what they mean is "new shape one to be parked in public places so people can photo it and make it 'go viral' ". So here we are.

My biggest issue with the design is the front bumper intake that reminds me of a catfish that is gasping for water.It should have had looked exactly like the db10 minus a few production tweaks

They have Audified the nose with those new headlamps.

What makes that even more amusing is on my view of this thread, the auto ad bot has placed an advert for Morrisons Salmon next to the Vantage photo.

A La Ferrari on the M25 near South Mimms early this afternoon.

Some weird sort of chrome/blue colour, (probably a wrap) on German plates.

This one?

Sorry, just got back here and yes that's the one.
I spend a lot of time on the road and have a decent viewpoint in the lorry so normally spot anything half decent or unusual, oddly this one I nearly missed as it went by.

I know its horses for courses but I think it would have impressed me more if it were in a 'typical' Ferrari red, still it was impressive, if very footballer.

A friend of mine somehow came across this outside Nottingham University.

Great looking black Lambo Jalpa on the Southbound M6 this lunchtime, plenty of mud splashed up the arches so no garage queen by the looks. Reg number B5 BUL.

Nice spot. Cute!

[STIfree]

Is an A8 L W12 worthy of this thread?

Very understated, I just spotted the badging on the back and its what drew my attention. 6.3 litre W12 producing 500bhp, very sleeper!

[TIGA84]

I’m rarely stumped but a mate sent me this and I have no idea. The accompanying vid suggests a V8 but that’s all I can say, closest I could think would be Chevron but it’s not quite right.

Any ideas?

[Gameface]

Janarelly.

[Gameface]

And it's a V6 from the 370Z.

[TIGA84]

Lovely, cheers.

There's a few PH articles on it if you're inclined to Google it.
