Against a backdrop of lush greenery, vibrant flowers and abundant foliage are some of the world’s most impressive modern and classic luxury and Supercars.
It’s quite a sight to see.
The McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 GTO are just a few examples. Furthermore, classic E-Type Jaguars, American muscle cars and much more leave attendees breathless.
People fly in from around the country and internationally to Vancouver’s Van-Dusen Botanical Garden to be in the presence of these marvels.
Luxury Supercar Weekend combined with the Shaunessy Concours d’Elegance is being touted as the nation’s finest automotive lifestyle event (luxurysupercar.com). Held annually on the second weekend of September, 2011 marked the third instalment of the occasion, however the first time it was held in the “green” setting.
With the sun shining, the cars glowing and people enjoying the beauty of the surroundings, it was a quintessential experience for local Vancouverites and those who came to town for it.
“The Luxury Supercar Concours d’Elegance weekend is the finest display of vintage luxury and exotic cars in Canada,” said Craig Stowe, the event’s producer.
The fourth annual event is Sept. 8-9.
On display will be award winners from internationally recognized Concours, including: The Quail, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and Concorso D’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
Also appearing at this year’s show is the Aston Martin DB5 (the model featured in several James Bond films), a restored 1933 Bugatti, a 1972 Alfa Romero Montreal and the 1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Vignale Coupe (one of three in the world).
“Many top Canadian-owned, international award-winning collector cars will be on display together on the picturesque Great Lawn of VanDusen Botanical Garden,” Stowe said.
“Guests and collectors look forward to the opportunity to view some of the 2013 super and luxury cars, many of which will be unveiled in Vancouver for the first time in Canada.”
Canada’s own supercar, the HTT Pléthore, which was designed and engineered just outside of Montreal, will also be making an appearance.
The garden-party style automotive showcase caters to those who aren’t necessarily there for the cars. Food and fashion lovers alike were able to enjoy some delicious West Coast cuisines and libations along with fall fashion shows, which will be put on by various top design houses.
This year, LSW has been expanded to include modern and classic motorcycles, as well as boats.
With the abundance of classic, vintage and supercars in Quebec, the chairman of automotive selection, world-renowned automotive judge Nigel Matthews, would like to continue to increase the presence of vehicles from all across the country.
Those who would like to enter their vehicle in this event, submissions are now being accepted. Quebec owners who have their vehicle(s) selected will be invited as guests of Luxury Supercar weekend.
