Cloverleaf, or Quadrifoglio...

From Wikipedia....

"Cloverleaf, or Quadrifoglio, badges denote high-end in comfort and engine size variants of Alfa Romeo cars, but previously denoted Alfa Romeo racing cars in the pre-Second-World-War era. The image first appeared in 1923 when Ugo Sivocci presented one prior to the start of the 14th Targa Florio as a good luck token to the team. This became the symbol of competition Alfas, denoting higher performance. Some modern Alfas wear a cloverleaf badge which is typically a green four leaf clover on a white background (Quadrifoglio Verde), but variants of blue on white have been recently observed as well."

Thanks! Fantastic photographs.

Mercedes sure did bring some fantastic concept cars to the show. And Lamborghini never disappoints with the women.

Thanks for posting the pics!

But why did you not set that monster of a BMW in the last pics on fire? Wow, that must be a troll!

To be honest, those two press days at the IAA were all a blur. I think I do remember seeing some guys with "The Relentless" shirts on and wondering what that meant. Can't say I recall what you looked like.

So whats the meaning of your shirts? ha Bugatti(VAG) halle had tons of people n there. I only remember seeing Schmee at he Porsche stand and wondering how he can do it all by himself shooting the videos and talking and all.

Next time let me know, and we can meet at some press day/event over here.

We are currently shooting a movie about car culture.
The Relentless is the name of the movie.

We got over 200GB of footage per day. So we are in hard work of processing it.
I think we can continue the discussion in PMs.
