A couple of weeks ago, the 25th annual Trans Sport Show was held in Pasay City, and we went to check out some of the drool-worthy cars on display. Row after row of beautifully restored and modified rides made us feel like kids in a candy shop.
The sheer number of automobiles was a bit overwhelming, to be honest. And speaking of overwhelming, the judges for the "Best of Show" awards must have had a very tough task determining the winners. Dozens of awards were up for grabs, and we'd like to share the full list with you. It's hard to imagine any of the entries leaving empty-handed, but it was still a competition.
Here are the winners of the 2016 Trans Sport Show:
* Best of Show Contemporary - 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE by JWorks Unlimited/Autoline Motorsports

We're already looking forward to next year's edition of the long-running Trans Sport Show. If the 2017 winners are even half as good as this year's batch, they will still leave us impressed.
