First instinct was that the black was a shadow. I'm thinking it's actually a giant old-school chin spoiler like on old BMW 2002/M3 or AE86. I swear it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't place that exact style of spoiler.

Or is it just the tire?


3rd edit: Actually, it's probably the back of the car...

I'm thinking newish.....2000 and beyond BBC that looks like a parki distance sensor.

That Sir, is a Lamborghini. Most probably the Hurican model.

....looks like it could be a Koenigsegg, or a 1967 Ford GT MK II, or a 1999 Corvette C5 Hardtop, or a 1990 Mitsubishi 3000 GT, or a Maserati MC12..... but it's probably none of those it's..... next clue please.

I'm out of ideas. Was trying to find something with an exhaust cutout like the bottom "hole" in the third picture (Maserati, Jag, BMW M6 type...) but I'm lost. Even texted my brother, no idea.

Waiting for the fourth clue, you win for now.

Well damn, a good guess indeed. I really wanted to ignore you but...

It was parked at the hotel where we were. Not absolutely strictly within my self-imposed rule of only cars seen during a ride but since I left from there on my bike and the car was there and when I returned on my bike the car was there, the rule was stretched a wee bit.

Gorgeous car, pretty rare to see them, at least where I am. And it's a convertible and looks gorgeous with the top up. Not all cool cars look good in convertible versions. This one does. A few years ago I rode Col du Petit St Bernard and coming the other direction during the climb I met something like (I've forgotten exactly at this point) half a dozen or maybe a good ten of each Lambos, Astons, and V10 R8s. The sound from the V10s was amazing. Never heard this one. The owner was a bit of jerk in fact. Oh well.

Looked good next to our Suby but he sure as hell wasn't carrying a cool bike inside his car and he damned well didn't pull down 53 mpg driving to the hotel like I did! But cool car anyway. I used to be into cars like that. Now I just enjoy their looks.

Can't believe you guessed that though!

Very cool car to be sure.

[AngryScientist]

that audi must be a joy to blast on some of those twisty mountain roads. vroom vroom.

[Cicli]

There is a guy down the street with a black R8. Sounds awesome.

Geez Louise - with those first clues, I thought it might as well have been a Whirlpool dishwasher as anything else....
