The 2-day Luxury Super-Car Show at Plaza of Nations featured easily 70+ cars. More importantly, it featured for the first time in Canada the world’s fastest car with two v8 engines, four turbos and over 1,000 horsepower, the Buggatti Veryon.
Next in line were the makes of Lambourghinis, Mercedes and Ferraris. The McClaren clearly seems overpriced at over $600,000 with its open winged doors (not up but out). There were the discontinued Enzo, with its eye-catching bright yellow. Lambourghinis, probably about 15, had too many on display easily looking better than most of the other cars but seemingly more common. Some models that I were happy to see were the Saleen (Nice body kit), Super 7 (small and classic) and Dutch’s Spyker (old-school interior and gearshift).
On one side of the show, you have the likes of Vipers, Corvettes and other collectables that were restored with new engines or modified. There was also a little demonstration of the cellular anti-theft tracker system. And who can forget the beautiful car models which I was lucky enough to take photos with. It is hard to miss the VIP stage, which I honestly question why anyone would pay $55 more for the lounge-like setting for some refreshments and some comfortable seats.
It was a beautiful day, the sun spoiled some of the photos but overall, I was pretty satisfied and impressed with this luxury car show. One final note, the Buggatti will be available for test drive to a few privileged in a week or two. The only question is where do you find a long enough runway.
