A few notable car sightings around Charlotte since my last post. The only Ferrari I've seen recently was what looked to be either a 308/328 or maybe a 512 bb in Stonecrest Shopping Center a week or two ago. Only caught a glimpse of it's taillights from across the parking lot, but there was no mistaking the sound. Additionally, some other sightings as I remember them: -White Aston Martin Rapide S on Highway 29 near UNCC's campus -White Aston Martin Vanquish on Elm Lane -Red Aston Martin Vantage on Johnston Road near Ballantyne Commons -Red Aston Martin Vantage near Jetton Road in Cornelius -Blue 2nd gen Audi R8 by Underground Racing on Ardrey Kell at Providence -Gray 1st gen Audi R8 spider on Ardrey Kell at Rea Road -Gray 1st gen Audi R8 V10 coupe on Tom Short at Ardrey Kell -Gray BMW i8 at Walmart on Highway 521 just south of the NC/SC line -Gray BMW i8 on 485 at I-77 -Red 3rd gen Dodge Viper near Birkdale Shopping Center in Huntersville -Red Lotus Elise on Elm Lane, seen twice a few weeks apart -Green Underground Racing Lamborghini Huracan on Ballantyne Commons in front of the Ballantyne Resort -Red Porsche GT3 at Robinson Farm (Rea Road) -White Rolls Royce Cullinan on Providence Road near Ardrey Kell Apologies for the long post, I was holding out on seeing a Ferrari before posting and saw a lot of other stuff in the meantime!
Not a ton of super interesting stuff out lately, but on Saturday I did see a white Porsche 991.2 GT3 at an automatic carwash on Wake Forest Rd a little after 5pm.

Just had one of my crazier sightings in Charlotte. A yellow Ferrari 488 along with 2 green Lamborghini Huracans and a purple Lamborghini Huracan Performante all together in the valet at Waverly Shopping Center. And to top it off they were all out in the pouring rain! Got a few bad pictures on my phone, really wish I had had the camera with me.
Last night (7/13) in Raleigh: -Red 458 Italia on West at Hargett at 7pm. Seen this one several times, but can't ever react in time to grab a pic. -Black 458 Italia on West at Hargett around 7:45pm. Possibly the same one I posted a month or so ago. Strange seeing two different 458s at the same intersection within an hour of each other. Also saw the white Aventador Roadster and matte grey 720S on Glenwood earlier that evening.
Sure here are a few shots from last week. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Forgot to mention this in my last post. Saw a light blue (grigio alloy I believe) Ferrari 360 on Ballantyne Commons at Elm Lane around 8 am a few days ago. Such a good looking car in that color.
My brother-In-law said he saw a black 365 Daytona Spider in Seneca, SC, just now. That has to be super rare if so. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
7/21: -Red Ferrari California T on West Catawba Avenue near Jetton Road -Silver Nissan GT-R on West Catawba Avenue near Highway 73 -Black Audi R8 V10 on highway 16 near Highway 73 exit -Black BMW i8 on Bryant Farms Road -Silver Rolls Royce on Ballantyne commons at Community House (not sure which model, probably 1980s or 1990s) 7/25: Another crazy group of Lamborghinis at Waverly. This time 5 of them! -White Huracan Performante -Red Huracan -Green Huracan -Dark Gray Huracan -White Huracan Spider (on Providence Road) -Black Rolls Royce Wraith at 131 Main in Blakeney Shopping Center 7/26 -Gray Ferrari GTC4Lusso on Elm Lane at Ballantyne Commons.

7/28: Orange Aston Martin DB11 on Brawley School Road in Mooresville. 8/1: Orange Lamborghini Aventador by Underground Racing in Red Stone shopping center near Portofino's Restaurant. Looks like I saw the same one a few hours later! Loved the plate too. Image Unavailable, Please Login
^Great finds! The Aventador owner also owns the green Underground Racing Huracan I posted a few months back as well as a smurf blue twin-turbocharged R8.
Neat! Saw a blue UGR R8 about a month ago. Wonder if that was the one? 8/2: Yellow 458 Spider on Ardrey Kell Road near Providence around maybe 6:00-6:30 or so.
Big day of general car sightings around Charlotte for me. Started the day off at Cars and Coffee in Cornelius. Got there a bit late but several cool cars were still there before the rain started. -Gray Ferrari 458 -Gray McLaren 12C (seen this one several times over the last few years) -Gray McLaren 600LT (awesome car!) -Red Aston Martin Vantage Outside of the show was also eventful -White Lamborghini Gallardo on 485 south of the airport (looked like it may have been a late model Superleggera) -2 older white Rolls Royce cars, one on 485 near the Gallardo and another on Jetton Road in Cornelilus. -Dark Blue Aston Martin Rapide on West Catawba Avenue in Cornelius -Yellow Lamborghini Urus in downtown Davidson (first one I've seen on the road!) -Red Lotus Evora in downtown Davidson -Blue Audi R8 in Toringdon off of Johnston Road -White Lamborghini Aventador SV on Community House Road near Ballantyne Commons (seen this a few times now, but c'mon I have to mention it) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Been all over the place lately...here are a few highlights. Tuesday, July 16th, in Raleigh: -Red Evora 400 parked a few spaces over from a yellow early NSX at the MacGregor plaza a little after 7pm. The Evora 400 is my favorite car currently on sale, so it was really cool to finally see one in person! Saturday, July 20th, in Raleigh: -Silver 570GT cruising down Glenwood around 9:45pm. Haven't seen this one around before. The daily-driven Aventador Roadster was parked a few blocks down. Wednesday, Aug 7th, in Charlotte: -White new Aston Martin Vantage parked at Design Within Reach in South End about 4:15pm. -White Lamborghini Gallardo Bicolore on Fairview Rd about 4:50pm. -Rosso Corsa Portofino at some office building in Southpark around 5:20pm. I've seen a 488 Spider parked here before so it's probably owned by the same person. -Silver blue late first-gen Audi R8 V10 Plus parked off of Selwyn Rd about 30 mins later. Thursday, Aug 8th, in Greensboro: -Grey (similar to Porsche's Slate Grey) late model Aston Martin DB9 parked off of Battleground Ave near Oakcrest Ave around 8pm. Friday, Aug 9th, in Raleigh: -Rosso Corsa F430 Spider F1 in North Hills around 8:20. Also saw a well-specced silver DB9 Volante with carbon fiber bits cruising around while I was taking a few pics. Saturday, Aug 10th, in Raleigh: -White Alfa Romeo 4C Spider hooning around on Hillsborough St around 5:15pm. Saw it drift around part of a roundabout before screaming away towards downtown. Had an out-of-state plate but I think it was the same one I saw a few months back in downtown a couple times. -Red 458 Italia on Hargett St at West St around 8:15pm. I think I've seen this car every weekend for the past three months and can't ever manage to get a pic of it. Sunday, Aug 11th, in Cary: -Red early model NSX at La Farm around 2:15pm.
