Nice little car show in France last weekend...

[Lud]

The coolest part is that it was a "rolling" car show that went from Paris to Monaco with some stops in between.

What is that S2000 looking red car with Erkle mobile rear end? That is weird.

Is that being held in the courtyard of the Place Vendome near the Tuileries? What is a
Koenigsegg? Looks pretty interesting.

I suspect it's like the F50. How much do they go for and what track do you get to test them on for the demo?

Last year, the price was around US$ 270000 and for the demo I would choose the "Autobahn" !

Actually that's not too bad if the car performs as stated. The last F50 I looked at was $675k however I know of one that sold recently for a lot less. I found out about it after the deal had already been made.
