These are super rare if you know anyone in the market. Drove it yesterday.

Where's the "homage"? Just a few Miura badges?

Marketing department special.

When every model is "special", eg. Bugatti Veyron's many "one-offs", is it truly special?

Not in the market, but may stop by to view after German Cars and Coffee tomorrow morning. Will you be at Cars and Coffee?

No. I usually do not go.

The car may be gone by then.

The must see car, however, is the F12 tdf in Gulf Blue Martini Racing livery parked in the Bentley area. They also have a super clean 360 CS red sitting right next to it.

They had a LaFerrari not too long ago, but sold it as well.

My wife is a manger there. Ask for Alena if you go by. Tell her Doug sent you and ask her to drive something you like. They have a 2017 991.2 Turbo S with like 65 miles on it and the Aston Martin's are pretty fun.

Lucky me, I get to drive and play with the some of the toys there.

Our best friends in Miami are selling their Veyron Mnasory for $2.1 mm which is a steal considering the Mansory package was $1.1 mm Euro in an of itself.

This guy, however, actually drives his Veyron and it has over 11,000 miles on it.

I have been to the large Cars and Coffee at the Movie Theater in Cool Springs before and it is quite hectic. I have never been to the German Cars event. I have been told it is much smaller as it is only for club members such as PCA, the BMW Club, MB Club, etc.

Thank you very much for the suggestions on cars to view and the referral to Alena.

Is that the one at the Porsche dealership across the street? I think she told me that she sees people leaving it every once in a while on Saturdays.

It is not. I am unaware of any event at the Porsche dealership. I did attend a PCA event at the dealership back in November on a weeknight evening.

Wife said there was some big exotic car and Porsche get together over there or at least by the Porsche dealership not too long ago on a Saturday. She saw all of the cars drive by leaving as they drove by her dealership.

Sorry you could not make it by today. They were slow so it was a good day to go by and there is a lot of very cool used stuff to see not listed on the website, much of which is one-off or very rare and super expensive. Boxer 512 and used stuff up to about $1.8 mm. Cool place if you are a car guy like me.

More fun today and this thing will run . . .

I will ask my Porsche salesperson next time I am over there about events there.

My bad on not stopping by today. Spent time at German Cars and Coffee and then a long time talking at the Porsche Dealership. My wife had to pick up her E550 at MB and we ended up going to see a movie after she picked it up. Porsche was not busy either. Please know I appreciate you referring me to ask for your wife so as to let me check out some very nice vehicles. Thank you. I will stop by at some point in the near future and will ask for her and mention you if that is ok?

Nice and hope they find a buyer. But for that money, I'll take Zwart's 4.0
