Images

Our images are unique and may not be copied or used without authorization.

Custom Made

Our images are not copied from the Internet and stretched to fit, as many believe. They are custom made for the purpose of the website and cost a huge amount of time and effort.

Every vehicle on this website is photographed from the same point of view: the same distance, height and center point.

Appearance

Sometimes a car can appear shorter when it is in fact longer, and the other way around. This is how we perceive cars in reality as well.

Rounded bumpers and tapered ends look shorter in a side view than the same length with a flat nose or tail, a natural effect of optical perspective.

No AI Renders

We do not use any AI-generated images. Generated content is imaginary and can misrepresent a car. A photograph shows how a car really looks, so you can rely on what you see.

This also keeps us clear of the legal issues that misrepresented models can cause.

Piracy

Our images are unique worldwide and easy to trace. Their special perspective, mostly Swiss license plates, specific model list and watermark act like a fingerprint. We take legal action to protect them, so please do not replicate this website in any other form.

Automated scraping also harms regular visitors: it slows the service down and forces us to block traffic worldwide. If you would like to use our images, contact us first. Linking to our pages is always welcome.
