Entitled "The Return of Supercars", this exhibition has been in preparation for over a year and brings together "ten unique models", which promise to leave "any car fan dreaming".

"The theme of supercars represents one of the strongest automotive passions. It moves people and makes hearts beat faster", said the president of the Museu do Caramulo, Salvador Patrício Gouveia.

Following the success of the "Supercars" exhibition in 2019, the museum wanted to return to the theme, but "with a truly special, exclusive alignment that would show cars that were totally different from the first exhibition".

Moving mountains

"It was necessary to move mountains to bring these engineering and design gems together under one roof, but we managed to fulfil this mission, bringing together in this exhibition some of the most iconic models from the main luxury and competition brands", he stressed.

According to Museu do Caramulo, this temporary exhibition - which will be the biggest this year - "shows visitors an evolution of the supercar segment".

The "headliner" is "a very rare Ferrari Monza SP2, part of the new 'Icona' segment launched by the brand and only available to selected customers", the museum said, adding that this supercar has "a modern aesthetic that intends to reinterpret a design classic" and was inspired "by the 1950s barchettas that were driven to victory in international motorsport".

"The result is this magnificent car, which seems sculpted by the wind, capable of delivering 810 hp and whose presence at this exhibition will be one of the few opportunities for the public to see the model live", he stressed.

Also on show at the exhibition will be "iconic models from the 90s, including the Lamborghini Diablo VT, the Jaguar XJ220, the iconic Porsche Carrera GT and the Porsche 918 Spyder".

The exhibition “O Regresso dos Supercars” will be on display at Museu do Caramulo until September 18.
