supercar - Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti Veyron is still “King of the Hill” at 254 MPH.


Secret SuperCar Society - Fantastic Grouping in Loqu.com More than 20 Supercars gathered in a secret get-together this past Sunday in Westchester County, New York.

The brainchild of college sophomore, Evan Cygler, high school senior Jason Thorgalsen and Hovik Gevorgyan, the event brought out almost every supercar ever built. These three young men have been very active in New York area car events for many years and their extensive contacts with supercar owners came to good use as they begged and cajoled them to bring their wonderful cars out on one of those “10 best days”.

This time the police were very friendly.


Bragging rights for fastest car were debated among those present. The consensus was that the Bugatti Veyron was it. I guess the 254 MPH top speed just cannot be beaten right now. Coming in a close second was the Koenigsegg CCX, which was also the newest supercar on the scene. This car had a lot of visible carbon fiber and the fit and finish both inside and out was very impressive. Everyone was trying to figure out how they made the carbon fiber wheel rims.


An Aston Martin DB S was driven to the event. However, no sign of James Bond. One enthusiast brought a McLaren F1 which even after 15 years still looks exotic. Rounding out the British contingent was a Jaguar XJ-220. Even many in this elite crowd had never seen one of these rare cars.


Supercar Ferraris included a 288 GTO, an F-40 and an Enzo. Unfortunately, no F-50s were able to make the meeting. A 360 Challenge Stradale and no less than two 599s were in the group. One of the 599s had some custom features on the front grille and the rear valence. It turns out that car is owned by the father of 599 chief designer at Pininfarina, Jason Castriota.


A Porsche Carrera GT, Spyker, Ford GT and a bevy of Lamborghinis made up the rest of the group. The Lambos included a Diablo GT, Miura SV, Gallardo Superleggera and various other models.


The hosts had arranged for a Police escort consisting of one cruiser and four motorcycles to ensure that the cars could stay together as they drove through the local roads towards the highway. Once on the Interstate, every driver jumped on the throttle for a quick display of why we call them Supercars. The group headed towards Connecticut and all gathered at a closed truck scale stop along the highway where they were met by a friendly State Trooper. It quickly became apparent that the sight of so many supercars caused the highway to back up as everyone driving by gawked at this rare assembly of cars. So much for the big secret.


Shortly thereafter, a town police cruiser rendezvoused with the group and in conjunction with the State Police, shepherded the supercars to their final destination for a great brunch. Everyone had such a great time that they agreed to get together again. In fact, the main topic of discussion centered on rounding out the collection of cars by getting a Ferrari F-50, a Maserati MC-12 and a Pagani Zonda to join this elite group.

    Just saw this on FerrariChat. Incredible photos, and incredible cars.

    CCX is probably a personal favourite, if only because of the rarity in North America.
