EUROTRIPPING IN CARS

Euro-trips tend to be expensive, long and if you're not a fan of medieval castles and ancient historical art, kind of boring. For the automotive enthusiast though, Euro trips tend to be highly entertaining just for the diversity in cars that are on hand to ogle at. Be it the supercars and luxury whips of the ultra rich in Switzerland, the micro-cars and city-cars of France, or the road-rally cars scattered in between, European car culture is as diverse as it gets. Join our photographer Ahbaar as he tours the continent, looking for the most interesting parts of Euro car culture.

American Muscle in continental Europe? Unheard of. But the Camaro is concours quality, any day.

A Champ Car piece courtesy of CTE Racing and Nelson Philippe, sitting beside an Urus (is this a theme?).

Classic Porsche 911 in orange, Fuchs bouncing away on cobbled streets. So much want.

A piece from what is arguably the best era of Ferrari, siting beside a quaint French cafe. Even the oddball, lesser Ferraris of this era are fetching record prices.

FIAT Abarth 500 - lots of power (relatively), ton of presence and super cute. Imagine a small handbag with a hidden gun.

Maybachs, S-classes, G-wagens and CLK/SLK/SL - Europe loves a good Benz, and subtle Benz speccing from the OEM and aftermarket catalogues is an art.

A modern classic (is it one yet?) - the Ferrari 360 Modena - in a auto repair garage in Sion, Geneva, casually lounging under a deconstructed Lamborghini Urus.

Subaru legend Colin McRae just out of sight (taking his poodle for a walk in heaven, probably).

Three cars. Three eras. Three manufacturers. Same purpose - open top motoring pleasure.

Lifted Toyota Land Cruiser - still not as obnoxious as the Lambo Uruses (or Uruis, or whatever the plural is).

Is a chopped VW Beetle a dead Beetle?

YET another Lambo Urus parked outside an auto repair garage - Switzerland loves its disproportionate Lambo SUVs.

Does it get any more French than a Citroen 2CV in front of the Eiffel Tower?
