Homestead Miami Speedway Ferrari Challenge

Ken Gorin The Collection Ferrari's at 2019 Ferrari Challenge
The Ferrari Challenge, held on September 6th through 8th of this past year, made for an exciting weekend in Miami for its big return to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Once each guest of the event arrived at The Collection, they received a polo shirt and a hat to showcase their love for Ferrari. Guests were also greeted by Ferrari representatives who gave them a rundown of the event’s schedule, starting with a delicious breakfast.

Once breakfast was over, colored smoke bombs filled the streets of Coral Gables, and over 70 Ferrari’s were led by a police caravan to the Homestead-Miami Speedway. It was quite a sight to see as hundreds of people looked upon the marvelous attraction. Once at the track, our Ferrari Challenge team met with the challengers at The Collection trailer.

Ferrari owners, family, friends, and spectators enjoyed driving their Ferrari’s on the track, while enjoying the hospitableness that the Ferrari brand is famous for. After the races took place, clients also had the opportunity to take a cruise around the track on their own during a specific time slot. The two-day event was a success with our own challenge driver Benjamin Hites taking home first place both days!

The McLaren 720s at Ken Gorin's THE COLLECTION

For those looking to break free from convention and speed into the unexpected, the all-new 2020 McLaren 720S Spider is the perfect car. The 2020 Spider is a thrilling, full-throttle supercar with an opening roof all packed into one beautifully polished package. The 2020 McLaren offers maximized power and increased efficiency with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering 720 PS and 770 Nm of torque, but why is the 720S Spider turning so many heads?

In True McLaren Fashion

The 2020 McLaren 720S Spider has a carbon fiber structure that’s incredibly light and strong. The central philosophy behind the car was to create the maximum possible visibility so the Spider would be easy to drive, on road or on track.

Every McLaren needs its iconic dihedral doors in order to be complete. These doors make it easy for the driver and passenger to enter and exit the vehicle. New in 2020, the 720S Spider’s doors have a smaller opening footprint which allows them to be opened completely in smaller parking spaces.

To maximize efficiency and performance while minimizing drag, the 720S Spider’s design is a testament to McLaren’s dedication to aerodynamic standards. Looking as though it has been sculpted by the air itself, the Spider is the product of painstaking aerodynamic optimization fueled by McLaren engineers and designers.
