Supercharged models from the 1920s and 1930s all have one thing in common: they represent the ultimate in automotive engineering in their respective era. To drive them, to hear the shriek of the mechanical charger, to feel the power of its engine, to enjoy the luxury of the refined ambience or to compete in racing at the wheel of an S model – that was clearly the crowning glory of motoring.

When Mercedes-Benz unveiled the convertible version of its very rare SLR McLaren 722 S Coupe late last month, all it had for us were ethereal renderings of what the car would look like. This week the German automaker has given unto us a gallery's worth of high-res photography showing what is likely to become the world's fastest convertible.

IMHO, it just wouldn’t be quality coverage of any car event without the proper coverage of the models and babes of the show. The only thing more popular than a modified Nissan GT-R at the 2008 SEMA Show were all the properly modified racks

Due to the overwhelming interest in my monday’s post 2008 SEMA Show Girls Pictures I I have decided to post part II a little early to help you get through the week

The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world and IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. But don’t worry about that minor detail, I plan on taking more photos than I ever have at any event so far in 2008 so that you can see all that was showcased and ready for 2009.

Importfest 2008 Season Finale took place this past weekend at the Toronto Metro Convention Center from noon until midnight. Here are some of the good photos that turned out. This is a follow up post to my earlier and very popular 2008 Importfest Toronto - Ass Photos collection.

Filmed in 2 states, with at least a dozen soapy girls washing, driving and wrecking cars, you’ll see Corvettes, a Saleen S7, the wreckage of a Porsche GT3 and finally girl on girl drag race between the Mercedes Benz AMG C63 and the BMW E63 M6.

This PPI RAZOR GTR is their first prototype. All the carbon fiber body panels you see are the 1st ones out of their carbon fiber molds. You can see the carbon fiber doesn't have that finished glossy look to it.

Here are the pics for the 2009 Miss Tuning Calendar. It’s actually pretty cool to see 3 cars in this calendar that I photographed up close and personal earlier this year at Hot Import Nights in LA. In case you missed the 2008 Miss Tuning Calendar Pictures.

The2008 Importfest Season Finale is this Saturday September 6, 2008 at the Metro Toronto Convention Center (Indoor Event) from 12pm to 12am.

Somehow I misplaced these Importfest 2008 Summer Girls Pics which I took earlier this year at Importfest 2008 at Downsview Park in Toronto.
