Included in the field was a Saleen S7, Porsche 959, Aston Martin One-77, various Spyker C8’s, Lamborghini Miura SV, and perhaps most notably, the one-off Scuderia-based Ferrari P4/5 Competizione.

However, the back half of the shopping center holds the spectators, many of which rival the supercars and rare classics that are in the adjacent lot.

Those that attend next years event likely expect to see a Porsche 918 Spyder, as a 918 Spyder Edition 911 Turbo S was among the visitors this year.
