Salon Privé has announced a new addition to the show for 2013 – a stunning and unrivalled-in-the-UK collection of ''hyper cars''.
The first manufacturers to sign up to this new collection with their hyper cars include Pagani, Koenigsegg, McLaren and Exagon Motors.
This lawn, in addition to the Concepts and Prototypes collection and 70 other sports, luxury and super cars on the front lawn, the 100 Concours entries on the back lawn, together with the luxury brands village, RCA design exhibition, and Art and Memorabilia Fair elevate Salon Privé to the premier exclusive automotive show in the British calendar, rivalling the best Concours and Super Car gatherings of the world.
Limited to a maximum of six models per year in the collection, this year’s current Hyper Car entries are quite simply jaw-dropping.
