Hi.

Below are pictures taken at the fist ever "Big Boys Toys Supershow" that took place last week in Abu Dhabi.

Some interesting cars were to be seen including a Ford GT and the Ferarri California Spyder.

The blue car in the first two pictures was displayed as the fastest street legal car in the world today, the Spyker.

Ferarri California and the Nissan GTR. The California was on show at the Club Scxuderia stall. This is a time share club that owns a host of exotic machinersy. The idea is that you can buy membership and get to drive any of these cars for a total of 60 days a year.

Cars include said Ferrari, 612 ,Enzo, DB9, Vantage, Porsche GT3, Bugatti and lots more.

Starting membership fee is 60,000 Dirhams !!!!

Thanks so much mate. The pictures and the whole experience is simply awesome. Thanks for sharing this, if not for your effort, would not have been able to feast on such exotic machinery.

One question. It seems the recession is pretty bad in the gulf, are a lot of super cars available for dirt cheap prices, distress sales and the like?

theragingbull · 7th May 2009, 11:59

y does it say "Scuderia 250" in the front of the Ferrari California??

Rahulkool · 7th May 2009, 12:11

You are welcome bro. Yes the recession has hit the UAE in particular quiet hard.

Till a few months ago it was a sellers market and now the buyer is king. Dealers are for the first time in history offering 0% financing on cars like the E class Merc.

Used exotics can be had for very reasonable prices too. I'm looking at a 80's 560 SL with around 110,000 KM on the clock. The guy wants 25,000 Dirhams for it and is willing to negotiate.

Wow! Thats about 3 and a half lakh odd INR for a gorgeous car! I truly wish we had similar prices here in India

My thoughts precisely. Here is a picture of the car as it is last week As you can see its in great shape and comes with both the hard & the soft top

Great share mate.

Though I think some of the photos have been repeated.

f450 · 7th May 2009, 15:17

Excellent excellent pics!

BTW, why has that orange Lambo been mutilated?

Also, can anyone tell me if the funny looking vehicles are what they call dune buggies?
