As many as 350 supercars including the world’s best SUVs are set to go on show at the first Beaulieu Supercar Weekend in the UK.
The inaugural event will be held on August 20 and 21 in the parkland of the National Motor Museum in the village of Beaulieu in the English county of Hampshire.
The Super-SUV Secret Garden within the show will feature some of the best SUVs on the market, including the Porsche Cayenne GTS, the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini LM002, Mercedes G63 AMG, BMW X6 and Range Rover SVR.
Super-SUV organiser Andy Ollerenshaw said: “All of the SUVs on display are in excess of 500 hp and can perform 0-60 mph in between five and six seconds. They may look understated but these are really supercars dressed in family clothing.”
The Beaulieu Supercar Weekend is the first event to run as part of a partnership between Beaulieu Enterprises and Brand Events.
The weekend will include:
▪ An eye-catching display of 350 supercars set against the backdrop of the Beaulieu attraction for a two-day celebration of the supercar, its icons, its history and its future.
▪ An Action Arena featuring precision driving performances by the Top Gear Stunt Team. The arena will also host start-ups, sound-offs and all kinds of fast road-runs throughout the weekend.
▪ Special tribute collections including a display in honour of the voice of Formula One motorsport Murray Walker OBE and featuring some of his favourite cars and motorcycles on the lawns of Palace House.
▪ Ferruccio Lamborghini: 100 Years will honour the man who brought us many of the most memorable supercars ever made and celebrate in appropriately flamboyant style the centenary of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth.
▪ Supercar to Race Car will trace the exotic origins of modern GT race cars and the influence of the track on today’s everyday supercars.
▪ The Hypercar Holy Trinity, which blends heart-stopping looks with pulse-racing performance and brings together the Porsche 918, the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1.
▪ An extended parade.
▪ VIP Experience, providing exclusive access to the Palace House Hospitality Enclosure.
▪ Manufacturer Village areas for special display cars.
