Cars for the Cure 2012

Since 2004, Cars for the Cure has hosted their annual exotic and luxury car show in Lake Mary, FL to benefit the American Lung Association. Every year, the show has displayed countless exotics not often available to the general public. Free to spectators, this annual fundraiser allows them to get up close and admire the fine craftsmanship of the cars displayed and is any automotive enthusiasts dream.

On display this year were some of the finest supercars the world has to offer. From your standard Ferrari 360 Spyder, to a one-off Bugatti Veyron Sang Bleu with a bleu carbon fiber and polished aluminum finish worth over $3 million, these cars made even the nicest Mustang look like a Yugo. Such a hit, this special edition Veyron seemed to even overshadow the recently debuted Lamborghini Aventador and McLaren MP4-12C displayed only six feet away.

As this show continues to grow year after year, it has become a favorite drawing spectators from all over the state. All we can say is, we can’t wait to see what Cars for the Cure has to offer in 2013.

Held on the beautiful grounds of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Amelia Island, Florida the 16th Annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance was every bit as amazing as previous years. Exotics & Luxury was on hand all weekend where we got to see some of the most rare and exclusive cars in the world. Show stoppers such as the brand new Bugatti Veyron SS, Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, the last production built Shelby Cobra 427, and a collection of Bobby Rahal’s retired race cars had onlookers drooling at the mulit-millions of dollars sitting on the 10th and 18th greens. Our very own Peter Tromboni has provided you with these fantastic images from the 2011 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.

Palm Beach Supercar Experience 2010

Written by Kerry Stratton

The 2010 inaugural event for Palm Beach Supercar Experience (formerly Supercar Weekend) beat the weather and went off without a hitch. This years collaboration definitely took the Supercar event concept to the next level. Building on the last four years, this event truly brought together the best of the best in rare and exotic vehicles on the beautiful newly restored West Palm Beach waterfront. Read after the break for further coverage and photos!

While the weather didn’t play nice all day (intermittent sunshine and free afternoon carwash), it didn’t stop the crowd from enjoying the show. Well over 100 cars were in attendance…everything from tuned Camaros to a Ferrari F50; which was all boss, but the definite show-stopper was the yet-to-be released Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing. The first Mercedes designed in-house by AMG is absolutely stunning and pictures do it very little justice. It’s quite deserving of the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 cover. I can’t wait to see it on the road! And with the initial specs, the eventual Black Series will be phenomenal. How do you make a great car better? Simple. Lose some weight.

Another eye-catcher was the all-electric zero-to-sixty in 3.7-seconds Tesla Roadster Sport; I’ve been interested in these cars since they came out and have been patiently awaiting their representation in Florida. Customers who were very patient in taking delivery of their Roadsters made out well; they had the opportunity to upgrade to the much improved Sport. Come to find out, Tesla now has a dealership open not far from Miami that we will most definitely be paying a visit to in the near future. We were one of the lucky few allowed to sit in the car this weekend so I’m thinking a test drive is in order!

Other highlights included multiple Murcielago SVs (a sick Matte Black LP640 spotted @City Place), a Ferrari FXX and a couple Spyker C8s.

If you’ve never been to this event, you really should check it out either at one of the two other dates this year (in New Orleans and the Hamptons) or on the flip side at the 2011 Palm Beach Supercar Experience. With all the new cars expected to drop between now and then, it should definitely be on every enthusiasts’ calendar.

Preview: Palm Beach Supercar Experience February 26-28, 2010

Of all the events I attended last year, Palm Beach Supercar Weekend is the one I still catch myself talking about. With a new decade brings a new chapter to this event, not only have they added two dates to the calendar (New Orleans and the Hamptons) but changed the name entirely; buckle up for the Palm Beach Supercar Experience!

This year’s event is structured very similar to the past, track day at Palm Beach International Raceway on Friday the 26th,concourse down Flagler Drive and cocktail party Saturday the 27th, with another event on Sunday the 28th (this years added event being a VIP owners corral at the Winter Equestrian Festival). General admission to the track day and concourse event are $24.00 a-piece, with children under 12 being free. The remaining events are VIP-invite only.

If there is any chance you’ll be in the Palm Beach area in late February, you MUST at least check out Saturday’s concourse show. The best of the best are always in attendance; from the one of one Ferrari P4/5 to the now e-famous Sharpie covered Lamborghini Gallardo, all with the beautiful Palm Beach Intercoastal Waterway, Downtown West Palm and Palm Beach Island as a backdrop. This truly is an unforgettable experience!
