Austin, eMotorsports Grand Opening (pics) old Corvette Country Location

Cozmo · 07-19-2009, 02:34 PM

On Saturday evening, a new upscale dealership opened at the old Corvette Country location. Jason (1 BAD ZR1) invited me to attend as his guest. He wouldn't let the valet guys park his Lamborghini so we had to park in the back.

Here's a pic of my C5 by the old Corvette Country location just before it closed. There was a big fire next door the day before. The sushi restaurant had burned down.

The newly re-decorated facility re-opened as eMotion Motorsports.

Some of the cars outside.

A Bently convertible.

A 55 Nomad 2 door wagon.

Aston Martins.

They're still selling Vettes!

The 64 in the corner was not for sale but for display purposes only. It belongs to the owners brother. It was a Christmas present to him from the owner.

Mopar Madness, old Challenger and new Challenger.

and

Viper alley.

Sex on wheels, a Lamborghini Diablo.

Inside the dealership, a Lamborghini Murcielago slowly spinning around on a turntable.

They had a band, food and drink.

An Audi R8 engine bay.

I didn't get a lot of pics inside as it was crowded. I did snap a pic of a Rolls Royce Phantom interior.

No, SW's shop is Exotic Motorsports. He's over around 620/2222 area. This was in the old Corvette Country location on Southbound Mopac access road just south of Parmer.

What song was that "Now she eases gently from her Aston to her Bentley?"

I think it was Deep Purple or Rainbow...

Looks like they have some nice rides and I will take the Diablo in my garage

I see the eMotion Motorsports daily going to work...really nice rides parked out front

Is the shop upgraded as well? Austin needs a serious performance shop that is actually in Austin.

They were not giving tours of the shop. From outward appearances it did not appear that they had done anything to it.

just found out that my pop ordered a Bentley "Final Series", and it is now somewhere on the Atlantic headed this way.
Apparently, the Arnage "Final Series" is an exclusive run of only 150
cars, celebrating the last of Arnage.....and my inheritance.

Wow, bentley. Don't know if I could spend money like that on a car.

Interesting location choice for that type of dealership.
