Oslo Motorshow

Last weekend I took a trip to Oslo Motorshow with my dad. Besides all of the new brands of premium-looking Chinese EVs that were on display, there were also lots of other nice things.

I'll start with the highlight for me, someone made a Porsche 962 replica, that he plans to get registered for the road. Project is almost finished, only a few finishing touches left. The car took more than 6000 man hours to make, and they used original drawings and schematics provided by Porsche Motorsport. Here, btw, is the 993 GT2 that belongs to the same owner.

There was this Lamborghini display, featuring the 350 GT, a Miura, a Contact, a Diablo, a Murchielago, and an Aventador.

Then there was the definitive 90s supercar, the McLaren F1:

The Ferrari Daytona SP3:

A Ford GT race car, which is for sale for those who are interested:

A big line of Maseratis:

More to come...

Now for some amazing custom cars...

This used to be a Beetle:

I have no idea what this was, presumably a Packard of some sorts:

A 1957 Chevrolet Nomad

A Volvo P1800 with some carbon fiber bits:

A Rolls Royce Silver Shadow turned into a dragrace car:

A Porsche 356:

A Mercedes 300SL

A Mercedes 600 Grosser:

A Ford Escort RS Cosworth:

An Audi Quattro with number plates:

The Sport Quattro S1, without number plates:

A 1974 911 Carrera RSR 3,0

A 964 Carrera RS:

A Mercedes 190 Evo II:

This immaculate Alpine A310, the "French 911"

An Ultima GTR racecar:

An Ultima GTR Road car and a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup stored on a double lift:

So lots of interesting sights to be seen there.

Why was the Volvo up on those stands, instead of wheels/tires? I don't go to many car shows, and haven't seen that before.

When I see stands like that, it's usually to show off the level of detail and cleanliness of the underside of the car. You also see mirrors under cars sometimes at shows for the same reason.

Yes, this. While there were no mirrors underneath this Volvo, the suspension was ridiculously clean/well done. I believe this even had a multilink rear end (used to be a stick axle) so the owner/builder has spent hundreds of hours building/perfecting that and wants to show it off. Many other cars at that show had mirrors and lights placed underneath them for this purpose.

You can read more about that Volvo here.
