Combo's and Strange Sightings

Stunning combo in Monaco
May 11, 2018, 4:12 PM We don't see this combo very often, so it is a good time to highlight this spot by spotter "enzo112". He spotted this Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder in Monaco. All that is missing is the McLaren P1, since it would have completed the so-called Holy Trinity. The deep red color of the LaFerrari and the interesting wrap on the 918 are as contrasting as the cars itself.
