Seventeen photo-shoots each lasting no longer than fifteen minutes, followed by five minutes of retouching and talking to the audience for three days is now over. Here is a quick preview of the three images of the Audi A5 that we produced in the Creative Center at Stockholm Photo-fair 2011. The images are just very quickly retouched by David Gustavsson and will need some more hours retouching before going to print. I’m very happy about the weekend. I had a really good time and also want to thank all the guys at Network Innovation for organizing everything at the fair. Hope to do it again!

Porsche Cayman R at Nürburgring

Just back from an amazing weekend in Germany and at Nürburgring. The weather was unbelievably good to be in November with sun and a temperature of 17 degrees. The car for the trip was the new Porsche Cayman R, a lightened version of the Cayman with 330 horsepowers. The Cayman R is just a wounderful car and the perfect tool for the Nordschleife. Check out this Video of one of the laps recorded with Harry’s GPS LapTimer app for the iPhone. A neat app for people that likes to drive on tracks not willing to pay the price for a “drift-box”. The price of Harry’s app is $19 at App Store.

The Porsche Cayman R will be a part of an upcoming article in CS Life together with two other playful cars, the BMW 1-Serie M coupe and the Audi RS3. Keep your eyes open for the article.

Just back from the Nissan Live event in Malaga were the first presentation of the pretty extreme car Nissan Juke R was held. What Nissan did was basicly to mix a Nissan Juke with a Nissan GTR, the body from the Juke and the drivetrain from a 2010 GTR with the 480 hp strong engine. Nissan only built two ex of the Juke R, one righthand drived and one left. First test-drive for the media will be sometime in January.

Gran Turismo Europa visits the Lamborghini factory.

Today was a great day! The Gran Turismo Europe crew drove from Lake Maggiore and to the Lambroghini factory for a visit and to see the production line of the Aventador. The positive thing to me was that I had the oppurtonity to take pictures of the production line which I didn’t do when I was here three weeks ago for the test of the Aventador, I had only one day and when the people at Lamborghini asked me if I wanted to take the tour or to have the car right away the answer was easy… So now I got the chance to take some great pictures for the article that will appear in CS Life that will be out in the end of October. I also got to met a legend at Lamborghini that my father meet and joined for a test-drive in a Countach back in the days, Mr Valentino Balboni.
