Dear Subscriber,

As described below, our Premier Auto Sponsors will provide you with an opporunity to test drive their latest models - some during the Concours and some during the two weeks leading up to the Concours.

Please take the time to stop by their exhibit tents during the Concours and thank them for their support at the event and providing you, our guests, with great service.

smart center - Fairfield Motor Cars
smart center will be providing test rides in two 2011 models of the smart car, the smart Fortwo and smart electric. 
 
All smart Fortwos come packed with standard safety features that are more likely to be found in luxury vehicles. These include the protective "tridion safety cell," developed especially for the smart fortwo to help ensure crash compatibility with larger passenger cars, electronic stability program (esp®), anti-lock braking system (abs), and four airbags, to name a few.

 
If ever a car was meant to run on electricity, it would be the smart Fortwo. Its mission in life is to be an urban/suburban commuter for one or two with a bit of luggage. That dovetails neatly with the hundred-mile range of most early electric cars.
 
Test rides are available from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Callari Auto Group
The Callari Auto Group is a proud sponsor of the 7th annual Concours d'Elegance at the Fairfield County Hunt Club to be held on Sept 11 and 12. The Callari group is offering two free tickets to the event (a $50.00 Value) with a test drive at their Fairfield County Dealerships. Simply test drive now until Sept 10 at Volvo of Westport, BMW of Darien or Mini of Stamford and receive two free tickets (while they last).

Miller Motorcars - Rolls Royce and Ferrari
Miller Motorcars will wow Concours attendees with the opportunity to test drive two amazing vehicles.
 
The 2010 Ghost will slot below the current Phantom range and gives Rolls-Royce a more attainable model. The new Rolls is slightly longer and taller than the Bentley, but a smidge narrower. The Continental lineup also includes GT coupe and GTC convertible versions. 
 
The Ferrari California joins the Prancing Horse's 8-cylinder family, which has always been defined by power and performance. It also flanks the flagship 612 Scaglietti in the prestige sporty Grand Tourer segment.  The new Ferrari California will satisfy even the most demanding of owners in terms of its superb vehicle dynamics and driving pleasure. The new model will be available exclusively as a convertible with a folding hard top.
 
Test drives for both vehicles will be available from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Miller Motorcars adds McLaren
McLaren's MP4-12C will be sold in only 10 places in North America, and in 35 cities in 19 countries overall. The validation prototypes built this summer will be followed this fall by the first pre-production cars before production begins early next year. The first deliveries will be in the U.K. followed by Europe, the Middle East and the U.S. McLaren expects to achieve U.S. Type approval in time for the first cars to be delivered in June 2011. McLaren Automotive is trying to ease the pain for sports fans who can't wait for the showroom debut of the new MP4-12C. The British supercar manufacturer has launched a new online configurator.

Among the options on the 12C are 31 exterior paint finishes, including the original McLaren Orange that graced the racing firm's stable in the '60s and '70s. There are plenty of additional choices in the cockpit, including leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber, as well as a host of entertainment/media hardware.
