Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It’s damn near impossible to ignore the fact that there’s an above-average number of luxury cars lumbering through our palm-lined streets. While many American cities still gawk at Lex coupes, the Beemers, and the Benzes, those who can afford exquisite rides in our city are all about the rumble of a Lamborghini engine, the decadence of a Rolls Royce Phantom, or the somewhat-understated sleekness of a Maserati. Though you usually turn green with envy when one of those decadent rides overtakes your Camry at the light, this weekend you can have a taste of the high life via Festivals of Speed. Bayfront Miami will play outdoor showroom to hot whips such as the uber-rare Ferrari FXX, an Aston Martin DBR9, and a slew of other exotic vehicles, motorbikes, and racing boats. Admission is $20, roughly 20 times cheaper than the monthly insurance on one of these road monsters. The festival goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
