Celebrating its 27^th anniversary in 2023, we have been attending the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance since 2005, and we always look forward to attending every year, as you never know what truly spectacular cars will be on display over the course of the two-day event. Per our tradition, we attended both days (June 3-4, 2023) to fully experience and appreciate the spectacular cars at the show. 

Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Spyker, Ferrari, and McLaren, these cars are the supercars, cars that come with impeccable pedigrees along with price tags to match (you know the drill, if you need to ask the price...) that had supercar aficionados' clamoring to get up close for a better view. These beauties clearly captured our attention along with other attendees with their sheer thrill ratio. Here is a sampling of the many supercars at the 2023 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance that took our breath away; quite literally the stuff that are the making of dreams.
