Wynn Officially Unveils “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition”
Wynn Resorts has launched a new exhibit, Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition, at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. Made with support from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the exhibit will be live until 13 October 2024 and will feature 30 rare, ultra-luxury vehicles with a value of HK$1.5bn (US$190m), with brands including Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and McLaren, among others.
The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, gives visitors an up-close and rare glimpse into the pinnacle of automotive excellence. Many of these stunning hypercars are on display in Macao for the first time at this unprecedented Wynn Signature collection, making the exhibit a true testament to the “Only at Wynn” experience. The goal of this exhibition is to give visitors an opportunity to experience Wynn’s exclusive signature lifestyle offerings while using the “Tourism+” model to highlight the unique diversity of Macao as a “World Center for Tourism and Leisure”.
Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Wynn Macau Limited said: “As a ‘Wynn Signature’ lifestyle experience, the ‘Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition’ presents an unprecedented level of technological craftsmanship, once-in-a-lifetime discoveries, and luxurious lifestyle experiences. ‘Wynn Signature’ is dedicated to strengthening and expanding Macao’s position as an international city. As one of the key members in the international hospitality industry, we are committed to showcasing Macao’s unique positioning to a global audience.”
Mr. Cheng Wai Tong, Acting Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) said in his speech at the launch ceremony: “With MGTO striving to foster diversification of the ‘tourism +’ offerings, it is pleased to witness tourism operator’s continuing efforts to innovate. The development of tourism services and products targeting the needs of visitors of different profiles coming from diverse markets injects novel elements into Macao’s tourism experience, offering visitors a special and memorable travel experience. As a wide array of festive events approach in the second semester of this year’s double anniversary celebration, the tourism industry and related sectors are called to duly prepare to welcome visitors from around the world and showcase Macao’s wide array of tourism and cultural features, helping to solidify the city’s position as a world center of tourism and leisure.”
On display at the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition” is an exclusive collection of 30 luxurious hypercars from 10 of the world’s leading automotive brands. Wynn Palace has set a major exhibition area for the collection, with even more luxury vehicles on display across multiple locations throughout Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. This year’s exhibition showcases the fastest and rarest of hypercars, including the track-focused Pagani Huayra R, known for its uncompromising performance; Koenigsegg Jesko Attack, which has a “Magic Wing” to create enormous downforce; the classic Ferrari Enzo Hypercar with a roaring V12 engine; the limited-edition Aston Martin V12 Speedster launched in celebration of Aston Martin’s 100th anniversary; and the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster – the most expensive car in Lamborghini history with just 9 vehicles worldwide. Also on display at the Wynn Palace East Entrance is a remarkable replica of a Formula 1 racing car made entirely of chocolate and fondant. A team of award-winning pastry chefs from the US, who have worked for Hollywood films and Disneyland art production, spent 360 hours to meticulously handcraft the chocolate sports car which spans 2.5 meters and weighs 100 kilograms. The incredible attention to detail in the creation of the chocolate model resembles that of the masterful craftsmanship of the real hypercars on display. Visitors can take photos alongside the 1.5-meter-long chocolate racing car on display at the Lakeside Trattoria at Wynn Macau.
Throughout the “Wynn Signature – 2024 Hypercar Exhibition”, Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace are presenting a series of activities and exciting events to complement the exhibit including innovative racing-themed culinary surprises at signature restaurants, special promotional offers from designated retail stores at Wynn Palace, and a “Hyper Shop” pop-up store will be set up where racing enthusiasts may purchase a variety of limited-time only racing-themed products and immerse themselves in multi-sensory experiences. In celebration of the 18th anniversary of Wynn Macau and the 8th anniversary of Wynn Palace, visitors will not want to miss out on the “Wynn’s Anniversary Extravaganza: High-Speed Thrills Grand Lucky Draw”! For the grand lucky draw prize, Wynn is giving away a race track / paddock experience worth MOP388,888.
