Three days of supercar celebrations at Salon Privé London

Salon Privé London will have three special themed celebrations for each day of the event from April 18-20. Now in its third year, the event will see Porsche Day, McLaren Masters and Supercar Saturday bring a host of some of the world’s best supercars to the capital at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

On Thursday 18th April, Porsche Day will celebrate 50 years of the 911 Turbo with (you guessed it) fifty 911 Turbos including some rare and limited edition versions. One to look out for is an ultra-rare Porsche 911 964 Turbo S Leichtbau (Lightweight) which was the first ever lightweight Turbo to be produced by the German marque.

The following day, McLaren Masters will see iconic models from the British brand’s history showcased, including a McLaren Elva (the lightest ever McLaren), 675LT, 720S and its latest hybrid supercar, the Artura.

The final day will be known as Supercar Saturday and see the SCC private members supercar club bring 50 of its cars to the 300-year-old Royal Hospital Chelsea lawns for a parade. Already confirmed to attend are a Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren Artura, Ferrari F12 tdf, Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS and a Koenigsegg CCR. Further cars will be confirmed as the event draws closer.
