The Gold Coast Motor Festival, Hong Kong’s premier motor event, returned for a wildly successful second instalment earlier this month. Officially opened by HK Secretary of Development Michael Wong Wai-lun, the festival’s main attraction was a display of over 80 showstopper models ranging from vintage cars to the latest in hypercar royalty.
Vintage car lovers were enthralled by a mint-condition classic Ferrari 250 GT/E, which first debuted at the legendary Le Mans 24-Hour Race in 1960. Modern petrol heads, meanwhile, were given a first look at Bugatti’s new automotive marvel, the Chiron.
Other standout cars included a limited-edition Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, a Toyota 2000GT (Japan’s first supercar), a one-of-a-kind Pagani Zonda Fantasma Evo and a 1926 3-litre Bentley.
The fun-filled weekend event also put the spotlight on burgeoning local talents, showcasing two award-winning and innovative electric vehicles designed by HKU and Institute of Vocational Education students.
Boasting an impressive range of activities such as children’s electric car racing, bumper boats, live performances and even a Concours d’Elegance competition, the Gold Coast Motor Festival proved to be a thoroughly entertaining and educational event for all.
