Autoville v2.0
I remember what some of our student`s has already been where but as I understood they hadn`t visited full exposition. So I`ll try to narrate you a little bit deeper my thought. I was there one year before and thanks God that i didn`t delete those pictures of beautiful collection of retro automobiles. Once again, Autoville is a small museum. In fact it`s a kind of garage. Instead of retro automobiles you `ll see those a small collection of modern sport cars.
Firstly I paid attention on Mercedes-Benz 540K.
In fact it`s a sport car, but unfortunately this model has never had some good results on the race. First of all it was a premium class automobile for those who`ve got enough money. Being introduced in 1939 it had 7 different variants of body from 2-5 places to limousine. Owing to the fact that this design attract everybody's attention it`s not surprising that this auto was popular before. The surface amazed me, especially the design of the wings. It looks that everything is perfect and there`s nothing to change, add or remove. This model is a kind of happy medium than the surface is not clumsy but at the same time such detail as light, wings etc are separate from the body.
Mercedes Benz is love. It happens today, it was before. That`s why I spare most of time on the exhibition in front of Mercedes Benz models. So predecessor of present SLS was Mercedes-Benz 300SL.
This model is possible to call more modern. It`s design is more ponder over future design. And there is nothing surprising because 300SL was made in 1954. Not so long ago in fact. It`s interesting that good present is well forgotten old one. Here`s an example I guess, that recently we had organic shapes in automotive design as a trend, but today more frequent is possible to find sharp edges in design. For example modern Cadillac or Lamborghini Aventador. Who knows, but maybe in nearly future we found exactly the same design of this Benz.
Yes this car has got a lot of issues, but as for me, it doesn`t matter. Because it gives us at least esthetic satisfaction.
German automobile industry is praiseworthy but i want to show you some examples of Russian design. As every time our design looks a little bit specific and outdated in background of for example those cars that I`ve already written about. I think it`s a problem of nation. Unfortunately people don`t have got a good taste and the worst think they don`t believe anyone until it`s foreign designer.
The most interesting part of this design for me is just a figurine of gazelle. Of course this car is a history which everybody knows, it`s just my opinion, that it looks more or less ugly. Nothing personal - only business. And as I said this statuette is adoption of western design. For example Rolls Royce. It`s impossible to imagine their car without this corporate identity.
I guess Rolls Royce is one who use it at present when other companies give up to use it because of potential danger.
In conclusion I`d like to share with you an example of modern sport car. It`s PORSHE Carrera GT.
For me it`s well-known by racing games as NFS. Grateful design, but for me it`s already tedious.
What I want to say, is that at present modern automotive design attend to details whatever it`s exterior or interior. Our most expensive cars deserve every cent of their value. People pay not just for material but for it`s finish also, for their quality.
It`s all. And Here are some more pictures from this museum.
I suggest you to visit this place. It`s not allowed getting into the car but it`s worth viewing by your own eyes.

Great exposition and as Dmitry said onetime - car design is design of the surfaces. AS I think at this exibition was collected most of car industry icons of recent years so nothing strange that that people so like it.
