The private collection of 100+ automobiles at the Newport Car Museum focuses on eight decades of modern industrial automotive design and celebrates cars as works of art. From the 1950s to the present, separate galleries for Ford/Shelby Cars, Corvettes, World Cars, Porsches, Fin Cars, Muscle Cars and Mopars have been carefully curated to appeal to men as well as women and to all generations, from grandparents to parents to children.
The Porsche Exhibit, once a Pop-Up, is now permanent with many additions adjacent to the Fin Car Gallery.
Highlighted here are stellar examples of Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, BMW, McLaren, Lamborghini and Porsche.
Classic iconic 1960s cars include the Camaro, GTO, Mustang, Challenger and the Hemi Cuda.
The 1950s bloomed into color and jet-like styling with the Buick Skylark, Cadillac Series Sixty-Two, T-Bird and the DeSoto Adventurer Convertible.
The Boxster began life with a 204hp 2.5-litre flat-six; nearly 30 years later it ends with 414hp from the same 4.0-litre engine that powers the 992 GT4.
There has never been a Boxster quite like this before, and because there will never be another, there is virtually no requirement to hold anything back. Conveniently, much of the hard work was already done: up to the beltline, the Spyder shares much with the trailblazing GT4 RS.
