Brisbane Motor Show Photos

Here are a few pics i took tonight in Brisbane. You can see the oil cooler radiator in the front right wheel arch. All Australian 135's will have an oil cooler. The colour is Le Mans Blue. No other surprises, the first Australian cars will hit the road after the May 19.

Thanks Swift for the great pictures - it's my colour as well!! Did they allow you to sit in the car? Do you know if it was Australian spec?

May 19. At last we have an official date. Wonder if that's when I get my car....

Couldn't get into the car, it was on a rotating stand. It was an Australian spec automatic with Nav. Standard features are good- leather, bi-xenons, bluetooth phone, rear sensors, anti glare mirrors, USB audio, lighting package, M-sport package, electric seats with lumbar, front armrest, storage package, wood trim, this list goes on. The cars will be scarce as the biggest dealer in Qld has only been alloted 2 cars in the first month and 3 in the second month.
The front brakes looked great, then I had a looked the the Ferrari, the rotors are bigger than the wheels on the 135 but both are made by Brembo.

Note the carbon ceramic brakes on the Ferrari. I think it is a $25k option so don't even think about it.

Thanks. The Le Mans is a really good colour. We had a similarly specced car out here last weekend. Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond were out here putting on their MPH show which is a showcase for some exotic performance cars with some great stunt driving and a few laughs thrown in.

Our 135 was open for all to climb in and poke around in.
