Start your engines! The fifth annual Concours supercar showcase is on the racetrack to Miami, and is taking place on February 20. Hosted by the one and only Miami Design District, this ultra luxurious neighborhood features designer shopping, Miami’s best restaurants, and must see art and design installations.
Displaying supercars on a spectacular half mile long red carpet running all throughout the Design District, this remarkable exhibit features striking automotive achievements that you won't want to miss.
Honoring the legendary collector, motorsport innovator, and automotive manufacturer James Glickenhaus, this exhibit will feature a selection of top of the line historic vehicles from his personal collection. The showcase includes two brand new Glickenhaus production vehicles, as well as an unveiling of an impressive Miami racecar. While Glickenhaus is a jack of all trades, he is best known for his production of some of the most exceptional race cars and road-legal supercars in the world. Drawing his inspiration from the most iconic vintage sports cars, Glickenhaus flawlessly engineers vehicles that feature the best modern technology, while still keeping the integrity of classic designs that we all know and admire.

Miami Concours has also invited founder and CEO of Hennessy Special Vehicles, Hennessey Performance, Turner School, and Lonestar Motorsports Park John Hennessy to display his new one-off version of the Hennessey Venom F5 to the public for the first time. Valued at $2.8 million, and reaching record speeds higher than 250mph, this limited edition hyper car is only one of 24 cars to be produced worldwide. Known as, “The American icon of speed and the open road”, Hennessy's passion for racing, horsepower, and speed can be tangibly viewed through his monumental achievements of creating some of the worlds most complex hypercars.
In addition to featuring vehicles engineered by Glickenhaus and Hennesy, the Miami Concours showcase also plans to feature 60 hand picked entries of the most sought after vehicles. These exotic, post-war automobiles will be entered by the most notable and significant sports car collectors in the United States. The showstopping automobiles will be analyzed by a distinguished board of judges including the retired racer, and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Motorsports Hall of Fame Mark Moskowitz as chief judge.
Featuring the beautiful scenery of the Miami Design District, as well as an up close look at some of the world's most innovative, high performance luxury sports cars, the fifth annual Miami Concours is a must see attraction for car connoisseurs of all ages.
