Event>> Autosport International 2011 Pt.iii

Starting off in the Pistonheads area of the show on Friday, I spent some time trying not to get lost. When I wasn't lost I snapped some shots of 360 Racing's display who had quite an impressive rig in the outside car park beside my hotel.

KW Suspension were present with this 911 Turbo on their stand. It was relatively standard asides from suspension and exhuast but it is quite difficult to improve on this shape.

Supercharged FN Civic that could make nearly 600HP ? Not too shabby …

Guess the car – I'll fire up a post in the comments section later with the correct answer.

The Autosport stage played host to some cracking interviews with genuinely high profile guests. Reigning BTCC champion Jason Plato was just one.

Our own Mr. Ross I'Anson. I know he has some seriously questionable photographs of me so I'm trying to pre-empt his attack.

BMW had a small two car stand which received quite a lot of attention. Their mew M3 GTS was a hit with those in attendance.

Christian Horner was another on the Autosport stage.

John Bradshaw unveiled Project ZED's new livery for 2011. The car has received a complete visual overhaul in Motul colours.

I always had a soft spot for the MKII Fiesta, especially in stripped out racing guise.

Fiat introduced their new 500 Giant Abarth …

This MSL E92 M3 featured a turbocharged motor and a slick kit.

This Renault 5 on the French Cars stand looked great. Checkout the 'headlights' ….

Artist Ian Cook was also present painting some beautiful automotive portraits using a variety of paints and some diecast cars and their parts to create the striking images.

More in part four !

Ferrari 458 Italia, methinks. Haven't seen one with a carbon fiber roof yet.

6

This MSL E92 M3 featured a turbocharged motor and a slick kit.

8

Subaru Sti TS

9

The white car with the wet carbon roof looks like a BMW M3 (E92).

12

13

I'm going to say an E92 M3?

14

Any details about the engine setup on this Renault 5 ?

15

Lamborghini of some sort. My guess is Superleggera

16

The name of the car is MSL E92 M3 (BMW)

17

that Abarth is looking VERY pleasing.

19

Gumpert Apollo? or an E92?

27

28

Oakley design Ferrari 458 Italia

29

I'm going out on a ledge with this one, but since it looks like a vinyl wrap (similar to the kind used for matte wraps), i'm going to have to say an Impreza or Civic hatch of some sort. I just remember seeing something exactly like it in Super Street.

30

the new STI

32

MSL E92 M3 I'm thinking.

33

I like that renault 5 :o

34

Great colour scheme on the MSW Radical. Any more pics of it?

35

Can you show some pics of the Ferrari 430GT in black that was in the first pic please? That livery is quite different from the red you normally see.

36

its probably the subaru sti ti with the carbon roof

37

it sure as hell isnt the MSL E92 M3......

improving the KW Porsche is easy (although not cheap at all). just send it over to Nakai-san in Japan

38

What's the yellow car in the first pic?

39

E92 M3, the hood?

40

Ferrari 458 Italia

41

LFA or FT86?
