To celebrate the grand opening of City of
Dreams, a private collection of “Dream Machines” will be showcased
at the City of Dreams, an integrated urban entertainment resort in
Macau.
The limited edition McLaren F1 and Enzo
Ferrari will be displayed at the property allowing guests a
close-up and personal look at two of the world’s most spectacular
production sports cars.
The cars will be displayed from 1 June on Level
1 of the mass gaming floor for 6 months.
“The McLaren F1 and Enzo Ferrari
are the ultimate dream cars for the most discerning individuals,”
said Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and CEO of Melco Crown
Entertainment. “They echo our aspiration to provide the ultimate
leisure and entertainment experience for the new generation of
discerning visitors from Asia and around the world. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank the private collector for his
generosity in sharing his rare collection and for the privilege of
presenting these Dream Machines at City of Dreams.”
The
McLaren F1 won the Le Mans 24 hour endurance race in 1995 and
dominated various GT endurance events. With its all carbon
composite body and 627 brake horsepower engine, the McLaren F1 can
accelerate from standstill to 100 kmh in just over 3 seconds. It
held the record of being the world’s fastest production car for
over seven years achieving a phenomenal top speed of 387 kmh. Only
64 street versions of the McLaren F1 were ever manufactured and
sold.
The Enzo Ferrari is named after Ferrari’s founder,
Enzo Ferrari, and was built in celebration of Ferrari’s first
Formula One World Championship of the new millennium. This dream
machine was built using Formula 1 technology and production was
limited to only 400. With a 660 brake horsepower engine, the Enzo
Ferrari has reached a top speed of 362 kmh. The first 399 cars
were sold to an elite group of selected Ferrari customers and the
final car was auctioned in 2004 to benefit survivors of the 2004
Tsunami disaster.
The initial opening phase of the City of
Dreams features a 420,000-square-foot
casino, a diverse array of accommodation consisting of the Crown
Towers, the music-inspired Hard Rock Hotel, over 20 restaurants and
bars, an impressive array of some of the world’s most sought-after
retail brands within The Boulevard, a unique lifestyle precinct
operated by leading travel retailer DFS, and the iconic and
spectacular audio visual multimedia extravaganza, Dragon’s
Treasure, featured in a dome-shaped theater known as The Bubble,
completes the line-up.
