Octane Collection
February 2024

The moment we had been anticipating had finally arrived—the introduction of Hypra Lusso to the world. What began as a vision just four months ago had now become a reality.

 

The day started at The Octane Collection, where we had the privilege of witnessing an automotive masterpiece—the first Lamborghini Sesto Elemento to be seen in the UK since its release. As one of only nine ever produced, with one permanently residing at Lamborghini’s headquarters in Italy and many remaining unseen for years, it was a truly historic moment.

 

Once all the guests had arrived, we set off on a scenic drive to South Lodge, near Horsham, for an exquisite lunch. The convoy featured a breathtaking lineup of hypercars, creating an almost surreal experience on the road.

Upon arrival, we indulged in a three-course meal, enjoying the stunning surroundings and

the company of like-minded enthusiasts. As the afternoon drew to a close, guests departed in their own directions, marking the end of an unforgettable day.

This was just the beginning. Hypra Lusso has arrived, and this is only the start of something truly extraordinary.

Goodwood Breakfast Club
June 2024

Our second event was upon us. On Sunday, June 2nd, 2024, we woke to a stunning sunrise, with clear blue skies setting the perfect backdrop for the day ahead.

As before, we kicked off the event with our friends at The Octane Collection, gathering an incredible lineup of hypercars before departing for Goodwood. By 7:30am, the cars began arriving in full force, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Once assembled, we held a brief driver meeting before setting off, led by a Pagani Zonda at the front of the convoy.

Upon arrival at Goodwood, we drove directly to the Festival of Speed start line, where a few more exceptional Hypercars joined us. With the road closed off, the Goodwood Marshals guided us onto the Motor Circuit, where we arranged the cars around the Jackie

Stewart Pavilion and along the main grid. Here, we enjoyed exclusive access to the Pavilion, allowing guests to take in the breathtaking collection of cars while enjoying a light breakfast in an intimate setting.

Following this, we set off for our next destination, Jodie Kidd’s renowned pub, The Half Moon. Upon arrival, we parked the cars on the back lawn, creating an incredible display, before indulging in a two-rosette, three-course lunch on the sunlit outdoor terrace. With 26-degree weather, it was the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on the day.

A total of 36 hypercars attended this event, a remarkable milestone for just our second

gathering, setting the stage for even bigger experiences ahead.

Rolls-Royce Motorcars
September 2024

September 22nd marked a major milestone for us as we hosted our third and final event of our inaugural year, 2024. This day was a testament to our rapid brand development, highlighted by a significant recognition—Rolls-Royce Motor Cars officially welcomed us as the first external group to visit their prestigious factory.

The day began in the picturesque Surrey countryside at Zach’s Garage, an extraordinary private collection featuring everything from classic cars and trucks to Formula 1 cars and hypercars. Throughout the morning, our guests arrived, immersing themselves in the breathtaking collection before we embarked on a scenic drive along stunning back roads en route to Rolls-Royce.

Upon arrival, we meticulously assembled our cars in the stunning Rolls-Royce courtyard, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Our hosts welcomed us inside, where we began with a luxurious lunch provided by Rolls-Royce, before splitting into groups for an exclusive lineup of activities.

Each guest had the opportunity to participate in:

  • Test drives of the Rolls-Royce Spectre Series 1 and Cullinan Series 2
  • An exclusive factory tour, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the production line
  • A first-ever preview of the new Ghost Series 2
  • A private viewing of the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail, featuring a one-of- one Audemars Piguet Royal Oak integrated into the dashboard

The experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and we extend our deepest gratitude to
the entire Rolls-Royce team for their exceptional hospitality and support.

Girardo & Co.
March 2025

On March 9th, we kicked off our 2025 season in style, hosted by the incredible Girardo & Co., renowned specialists in historic road and race cars. If you haven’t visited them yet, it’s an absolute must! Max Girardo and his team have built an extraordinary business, and their stunning showroom in the Oxfordshire countryside set the perfect stage for our season opener. Among the breath-taking lineup were a McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail and an array of legendary race cars housed in their showroom, alongside an extensive photo archive and in-house research facility.

Our morning began at Girardo & Co., where guests arrived to explore the collection, catch up with familiar faces, and make new friends—all while enjoying freshly brewed barista coffee and delicious pastries. Max Girardo himself brought the energy up a notch by firing up both the 1954 Ferrari 375 Plus and McLaren F1 GTR LT, giving everyone a taste of "Girardo’s favorite playlist"—a symphony of high-performance engines.

Once the group was assembled, it was time to hit the road. Engines roared to life as 35 hypercars set off in convoy, weaving through the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside under the bright spring sun. The sight and sound of so many extraordinary machines rolling together was nothing short of surreal.

Our drive concluded at our Forza-esque lunch destination, The Table d’Alix, where we enjoyed an alfresco meal in the sunshine—a perfect way to unwind and reflect on the incredible morning.

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year, and we owe a huge thank you to the entire Girardo & Co. team for their outstanding hospitality and seamless event management. They are truly exceptional, and if you haven’t visited them yet, we highly recommend reaching out for a visit—you won’t regret it!

Hypra Lusso V
June 2025

On the 1st of June, Hypra Lusso V took place—a truly unforgettable day.

We kicked things off early with our great friends at Premier GT, gathering at their stunning showroom just south of Horsham. From there, we set off in convoy through the scenic West Sussex countryside, enjoying a brilliant driving route on our way to Goodwood.

Our arrival at the Festival of Speed Hill Climb start line was nothing short of spectacular. We were fortunate enough to convoy the full length of the famous Hill Climb, passing the iconic Goodwood House—an incredible experience for everyone involved.

After reaching the top, we paused at Goodwood Racecourse for a group photo, before road closures allowed all 60 hypercars to convoy together into the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Once parked up, guests enjoyed exclusive access to the Jackie Stewart Pavilion, offering the perfect space to relax and take in the sights.

The journey continued with a convoy to The Half Moon, Jodie Kidd’s charming countryside pub. We filled the garden and village with an impressive display of hypercars, before sitting down to a relaxed, sun-soaked lunch.

A huge thank you to Apollo Capital Group for sponsoring the lunch. If you're looking to finance a hypercar—or any car—be sure to visit our sponsor page for direct contact with Andy King.

European Prestige
September 2025

Our 2025 Season Closer took place in partnership with our great friends at European Prestige. We began the day at their state-of-the-art showroom in Orpington, home to an incredible selection of cars — from a Pagani Huayra BC Roadster and Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, to a Porsche 911 ST, Lamborghini Revuelto, Lamborghini Urus, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Guests enjoyed a relaxed morning surrounded by stunning cars, with refreshments available throughout.

We then set off on a scenic drive to our lunchdestination, AshdownPark Hotel, taking in some of the best driving roads in Kent —including a highlight stretch through the beautiful Ashdown Forest. We werefortunate to enjoy dry weather and perfect road conditions, making for anunforgettable drive.

Upon arrival at Ashdown Park, members gathered for a delicious sit-down lunch in a stunning setting — the perfect way to round off the season.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to John Lambert and the team at European Prestige for hosting such a fantastic event. If you’re looking to buy or sell a Hypercar, Supercar, or SUV, John is truly the person to speak to.

Finally, thank you to all our members for your continued support — we look forward to seeing you all in 2026!

The Hypra Lusso Weekender
June 2026

Our three-day Hypra Lusso weekend began under glorious sunshine with an exclusive lunch hosted at Premier GT. As guests arrived throughout the afternoon, they enjoyed the opportunity to explore Premier GT's impressive showroom whilst catching up over lunch. Members were also treated to a fantastic display from Joe at Road Race Rally, showcasing his bespoke automotive artwork — the perfect addition to any garage, office, or luxury living space.

Once everyone had arrived, the convoy departed for a scenic drive through the South Downs. With clear roads and some exceptional driving routes, members enjoyed a memorable afternoon behind the wheel before arriving at The Goodwood Hotel, where we took over the upper car park with an incredible display of Hypercars.

Following check-in, guests gathered on the hotel's private terrace for an exclusive drinks reception in the afternoon sunshine. The evening continued with a private dinner in The Farmer, Butcher, Chef restaurant, providing the perfect setting for members to connect with familiar faces and meet many new members joining the community for the first time.

The evening concluded with speeches from Hypra Lusso Co-Founder, John McKenna, and David Trigg, Owner of Premier GT - one of the event's headline sponsors, who welcomed guests and reflected on what had already been a fantastic start to the weekend.


Sunday began with a fresh group of arrivals meeting at Premier GT before a short drive to Goodwood, where they joined those who had stayed overnight at the hotel. Gathering on the iconic Festival of Speed start line, with the hay bales already in position ahead of the world's most famous automotive event, The Festival of Speed, it created a truly special atmosphere. Some might even argue the Hypra Lusso line-up rivalled that of the Festival itself.

From there, the convoy made its way up the legendary Hillclimb, passing Goodwood House before stopping at the Racecourse for a spectacular group photograph against the stunning backdrop of the South Downs.

Guests were then escorted into the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit, home of Goodwood Supercar Sunday, where our cars were displayed prominently around the Jackie Stewart Pavilion and the main grid. Members enjoyed exclusive access to the Pavilion throughout the day, with special appearances from Formula One World Champion Damon Hill and The Duke of Richmond, adding another memorable chapter to an already exceptional weekend.

The day concluded with a beautiful Sunday lunch at Tottington Manor, nestled in the heart of the South Downs, providing the perfect opportunity to relax before members began their journeys home.


The final day of the weekend took place at Dunsfold Aerodrome — better known to many as the legendary Top Gear test track.

Hosted alongside Praga, for whom Premier GT are the official UK dealer, members enjoyed a unique opportunity to experience one of the most exciting track-focused cars currently available.

Adding to the occasion was none other than Ben Collins, famously known as The Stig, who was on hand throughout the day providing passenger laps, driver coaching, and demonstrations. Members were given the opportunity not only to drive the Praga themselves but also to experience the astonishing performance of the car from the passenger seat, with Ben pushing it to its absolute limits on one of the most famous circuits in the world.

It was the perfect way to conclude an unforgettable three-day experience.

A huge thank you goes to our headline sponsors, Apollo Capital Group and Premier GT, whose support, hospitality, and commitment played a major role in making the event such a success.

A special mention must also go to Andy King of Apollo Capital Group. Whilst many know Andy as one of the most respected figures in the finance industry, his contribution to this event extended far beyond sponsorship. Unfortunately, due to a severe virus, Andy was unable to join us in person and spent the weekend recovering at home. Nevertheless, his support behind the scenes was invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did to help bring the event together.

Most importantly, thank you to all of our members and guests who joined us. The weekend embodied everything Hypra Lusso stands for — exceptional cars, incredible venues, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences.

McLaren Technology Centre
March 2026

Our 2026 season opener began on a sunny Sunday afternoon, the 15th of March, at Maranello Egham — a secure storage facility just off the M25, owned and managed by the Maranello Group. Guests were welcomed with refreshments and guided tours of the facility, where an exceptional collection of cars was on display.

Highlights included three Ferrari F50s owned by a single collector, one of the earliest Ferraris ever produced, and more modern icons such as the Pagani Huayra BC Roadster and the beautiful Ferrari Monza SP1. Also on display were a Blu America SF90 XX, a green Lexus LFA, and a yellow Ferrari 458 Speciale. These belonged to a member who unfortunately couldn’t attend, but very generously allowed his cars to be showcased for everyone to enjoy.

We then set off on a drive through dry, sunlit roads, forming a surreal convoy of just under 50 hypercars. The lineup was nothing short of extraordinary, featuring six McLaren Sennas, a McLaren F1, three Koenigsegg Jeskos, multiple Bugattis, two Gordon Murray T.50s, and four Ferrari F40s.

The drive concluded with our arrival at the iconic McLaren Technology Centre. After being guided through security, we assembled before taking a drive around the famous lake road, eventually parking in the guest area — with McLarens proudly displayed at the front.

Guests were then welcomed inside by the McLaren team, where an incredible lineup of McLaren hypercars was presented in the Boulevard, including the F1, F1 GTR, P1, Senna GTR, Solus, and more. Surrounding the display was a comfortable seating area, complemented by a selection of beautifully presented small dishes catering to all tastes.

Following a warm welcome speech, guests were split into groups for exclusive behind-the-scenes tours. These included access to the highly exclusive McLaren W1 specification room, where MSO specialists demonstrated how truly limitless personalisation can be. We were then taken through the production facility, where the first W1 models are beginning to take shape, as well as the iconic “spine” at the heart of the factory, home to historic McLaren F1 cars, production models, and special projects.

Guests also had the opportunity to view McLaren’s impressive trophy cabinets, showcasing decades of racing success — including the Constructors’ Championship trophies from 2024 and 2025, alongside Lando Norris’s recent title trophy. The experience continued with guided tours of both the modern Formula 1 department, where the current cars of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are developed, and the heritage division, which maintains McLaren’s historic racing legacy.

A huge thank you goes to the entire McLaren team, whose passion and dedication were evident throughout. We are especially grateful for their time and hospitality — particularly as they gave up their Sunday to host us.

Overall, it was an outstanding event, with an exceptional lineup of cars and a truly memorable experience — the perfect way to kick off the 2026 season.
