Salon Privé 2010 fires up as Europe's largest luxury and supercar show

We can officially add the Salon Privé to the gearhead bucket list. The fifth annual automotive exhibit at London's tony Hurlingham Club has established itself as a mecca of high-end metal, old and new, and while this year's event lacks the major unveils and sneak peeks of 2009, it's still packing more luxury and performance metal per square acre than just about any other show on the planet. For 2010, manufacturers from around the globe have rolled out their best and brightest, both from their past and present portfolios. Highlights of this June 21-23 gathering and concours include the always wicked-looking Veritas III, as well as the Lexus LFA, Lotus Evora and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

The new tin is cool and all, but we're more interested in the smattering of old-school supercars in attendance. Want to get within sniffing distance of a McLaren F1? No problem. How about a Bugatti EB110 or a Ferrari F50? The Salon Privé will be happy to oblige. Check out our massive high-res gallery for a cross-section of the awesome in attendance.
