Fabulous new four-wheeled supercars worth millions can be seen this weekend at the exclusive Salon Privé motor show at Blenheim Palace.
In a dazzling display of high-end automotive excellence, Blenheim Palace’s historic cricket pitch has been transformed into a shrine to the world’s most exclusive supercars at the annual Salon Privé motor show.
Each year Salon Privé showcases a different colour, and this year it’s blue that’s in the spotlight. A collection of some of the world’s most exclusive blue cars have been assembled on the pitch at the Duke of Marlborough Cricket Ground.
“Today we have cars worth over £120 million on the pitch.” Two of them are Ferrari GTOs, 250s. We have Bugatti Chirons, Buggatti Veyrons, F40s, 512s, we have 250 short wheelbases, 275 GTBs, we have the most incredible collection of blue cars,” says David Bagley, co-founder and director of Salon Privé.
The Naran Hyper Coupe, making its UK debut at Salon Privé, produces over 1,000bhp from a 5.0-litre V8 and promises a 0-62mph time of around 2.3 seconds or 0-200mph in 16.5 seconds.
It has been designed in the UK and has a two-by-two seating layout, allowing you to take three passengers for a thrilling ride around a racetrack.

The Naran Hyper Coupe makes its UK debut at Salon Privé. “It’s been called a hyper coupe, so it’s a two-plus-two GT3 road car, raw and visceral. It’s a hyper car, we’re making 39 of them and the idea is to make it feel like the cars of yesteryear, when it was a feat to drive, a pleasure and a challenge,” explains Harry Hughes, marketing director at Naran.
Just 39 examples of the Naran will be built, making it an exclusive option for the super-rich. But it does come with a price tag of €2 million… but at least owners will have naming rights, meaning they can call it whatever they want.
Hughes explains: “The naming rights go to the observer and from that point on it’s all bespoke. We’ve had requests for horsehair, marble finishes, stripping, it’s all from there, basically.
Another highlight of the show is the launch of Tuthill’s GT ONE. The original car was built for the GT1 class at the legendary Le Mans race in France. It features a four-litre flat-six engine producing up to 600bhp, a full carbon fibre body and double wishbone front and rear suspension.
“This car is a bit taller than most cars of this type and we have a huge amount of suspension travel, so we should have a perfect road car,” says Tuthill boss Richard Tuthill.
Salon Privé takes place from 28th to 31st August 2024 at Blenheim Palace.
