The Edmonton Motorshow
I’m almost 3 weeks late in posting this, but this isn’t anything new. After missing last year’s motorshow (since things don’t really change that much in one year), I decided to go to the show this year. One of the big reasons I wanted to attend was because Avant Garde Motorsports had a large booth there and I wanted to support David, as well as Terence and Theresa, who were volunteering there over the weekend. See some of the standouts below!
At center stage is Mark’s RWB
This Murcielago isn’t actually a real SV, but modified to SV spec. Still mean
A pristine 1st Gen Civic
The new Toyota Supra. I’m not sure why there’s so much hate, but I can say that the satin/matte paint look is overrated.
Bumblebee from the Transformers movie
“It’s a Jeep thing”
Audi’s lighting game is always on point
The new 992 has a funky front end but damn if the rear end isn’t amazing. Love the red stripe going across the rear
Carbon Fiber NSX GT3? Yes.
488 Pista
I believe I saw this F12 TDF last year at the Ferrari of Alberta dealership. Amazing seeing it up close again. What a rare car!
Love the long iconic Viper hood
Beautiful 964 Turbo
Love the Turbo wing!
At this point I need to give Auto Obsessed credit for their amazing display of cars. I loved how they didn’t try to cram as many cars as possible in to a small space, but selected a few pristine cars to show off. They also happen to be incredible detailers and the go-to shop for detailing supplies. I’ll have to bring my 997 over on day for a detail!
A Carrera RS Clubsport! Holy smokes! 1 of 290!
DB11. Big thumbs down to this booth, whose name I couldn’t remember. You literally couldn’t go inside unless you were rich, and they basically only had this 1 car to show anyways. What a silly flex.
Cool Ford GT. Those wheels are freaking gigantic!
VF Engineering supercharged Gallardo Superleggera
The goods
That’s a wrap on this year’s Edmonton Motorshow coverage. Definitely felt a bit different with some big hitters (Mercedes, BMW) being absent, but this was more than handled by Avante Garde’s incredible display of cars as well as Auto Obsessed’s booth. It was definitely worth coming this year and if more independent shops/dealers decide to show, it might be worth going next year as well!
Cheers,
