Having been to several international auto shows in the country, I have to say that Philadelphia is one of the worst. Unfortunately for me, it is also one of the closest. As such, I can only report on the newest creations that are presented. While 95% of the show is a glorified showroom, there are a few companies that actually show some promising exotics.
The biggest hit in Philadelphia is most certainly the Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing…

Photographer John Renna captured the energy and aggressiveness of this E55 AMG Mercedes colossal creature with perfection. The LET custom tuned 520whp 5.5L supercharged V8 leaves little to no doubt that this car makes children cry with the flick of the throttle and the roar of the 3-inch exhaust from Seamless Motorsports.

RAUH-Welt Begriff is a German sounding Japanese based tuner that has been hitting the blog scenes hard with their track monster builds, however, it’s the stance and aggressive shoes that truly make their cars stand out.
RWB, whose name translates to “rough world” mostly focuses on naturally aspirated Porsche 964 and 930 conversions, and it should be instantly apparent that track days aren’t their only forté.

What began life as a blue MK2 G60 Edition One was eventually ripped apart and rebuilt after being imported from Germany in 1999. The engine went to UK tuners Jabba Sport to get an overhaul and charger rebuild, while the body went off to get a full respray in Audi Jupiar Red. This wasn’t the last of the changes from this Northern Ireland dubber….

Doing his part along side Snoop and Dr. Dre, Jared Schmoyer is only a few weeks away from getting his custom 1964 (“six four”) Chevy Impala back on the streets. The Burnt Orange paint from PPG has so much metallic flake that it causes small children to have seizures.
