On Saturday I attended two Cars and Coffee events in Charlotte, and figured I should be serious about this. Sure, there were cool cars there. Yes, many of them were more expensive than 4 new Corvettes! So, Let's get down to the real nitty gritty and report on the COFFEE at both locations!
Highlight #2: Porsche GT3 RS with Weissach/Manthey package.
First up, Hendrick Porsche of Charlotte held their monthly Stuttgart Saturday, which believe it or not happens on a Saturday! Stuttgart is the city in Germany where the Porsche cars HQ is located, but what about their coffee? In a major upgrade, this was the first event there that I noticed a shiny new Nespresso machine for coffee. After someone explained to me how to use it, I enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee. Yes, it was free. Yes, they also had doughnuts from a local bakery. Overall, I'd rate the experience as Excellent, but what about up the road at Lamborghini?
At Lamborghini Charlotte, they provided the guests with boxes of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and I imagine Dunkin' Donuts donuts. Since I like Dunkin', and the goodies were also free, I would rate them as Very Good, so maybe just one small step below the Porsche coffee experience. Oh, there were some cars too!
50th Anniversary of the 911 Targa model.
SPOILER ALERT! Porsche with the Weissach package.
2025 Porsche Macan Electric Turbo. The electric Macan is new this year, and even though it does NOT have a turbo, Porsche still uses the Turbo badge to show it has more horsepower than the base model. Sure, that makes sense!
I liked this dark green on the Lamborghini.
License plate time: Create Value. Must be an investment advisor.
Hey, nice car! Thanks I Know.
Lamborghini Countach.
The Countach was built from 1974-1990, and was one of the cars that really put Lambo on the map! That map would be the "Map of Awesome Cars."
Big crowd inside the Lamborghini dealer also. Must be the free coffee and donuts! Or the cool cars.
Very nice Aston Martin outside.
1st edition Lotus Emira.
Lamborghini Huracan Evo with all wheel drive.
Rear wing on the Lambo racecar. To be honest I thought Roger Dubuis was the driver, but that's the name of a watch company that sponsors the racecar!
Some serious aerodynamic goodies on this thing.
Speaking of aerodynamics on a fast car, here's some more details on the Porsche GT3 RS. Sure, it was over $300,000, but I get the idea that it's fast.
Big rear wing for down force and better cornering.
Vents and airfoils in the front hood to get the air moving where it will make the car faster.
Vents over the front wheels
Large wheel covers on the rear wheels for better air flow. You can read the tire size, 335 (that's WIDE) on 21 inch wheels.
More aerodynamic goodness behind the front wheel to shape the air flow over the rest of the car. Right behind the top vents is the oval gas cap cover.
Lamborghini COFFEE (via Dunkin)
I think this was a Lambo Urus (SUV) interior. Along with the GREEN trim, you still get the red cover (by the cup holders) over the start button, so you can always pretend you're launching missiles when you start it up.
An Audi R8 pulled up too. I saw a kid with a "Lord of the Rings" T-shirt, and of course it also had the Audi 4 rings logo!
Back at the Porsche dealer, I saw this row of 2025 electric Macans that are being sold as used cars. The ones I looked at had 3,000-5,000 miles, so maybe they were demonstrators, or used for VIPS at the local pro golf tournament or something. Could be a good price, who knows?
