Cars of 30A at Alys Beach: Where Architecture Meets Automotive Art
in *Sponsored, Events
The Cars of 30A event is known for pairing coastal lifestyle with serious automotive taste, and that energy returns to Alys Beach this year. Against the town’s striking, white-washed architecture, the event spotlights rare machines and refined hospitality in a setting that feels made for car culture.
A VIP Evening on South Charles Street
The VIP celebration unfolds along the cobblestones of South Charles Street with a hand-selected lineup of notable cars. Guests can expect live entertainment, curated luxury goods, elevated bites and cocktails, and the kind of polished hospitality that makes an evening linger. Under lantern light, design details and engine notes become part of the street’s ambiance.
A Weekend Finale Across Alys Beach
The culmination arrives as more than 150 rare and exciting cars line the streets of Alys Beach. Central Park anchors the action with activations and live entertainment, while every turn reveals something new—paint-to-sample and race-bred Porsches (including bespoke 911 builds), McLarens, Lamborghinis, modern Ford supercars, and open-air icons like the Meyers Manx. Heritage builds and overlanding favorites add depth, from Velocity Restorations’ reimagined classics to custom 250 GD “Wolf” trucks, alongside the INEOS Grenadier. Luxury marques, including Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Bentley Motors, round out the scene.
Experiences, Displays, and Test Drives
Beyond the static displays, the weekend offers hands-on moments. Podium 1 Racing brings sim-driving experiences; Watch Your Wrist curates notable timepieces; LOKI showcases the ultimate coach experience. Additional sponsors will facilitate test drives in top supercars and bespoke builds—ideal for guests who prefer to feel performance firsthand. (For the complete sponsor roster, visit carsof30a.com.)
Presented by Ferrari of Atlanta and Flatrock Motorclub
Ferrari of Atlanta serves as a presenting sponsor. Led by General Manager Craig Forbes, the dealership’s team of Ferrari Specialists is recognized for exceptional expertise and hospitality. The group will display compelling Ferraris and engage with attendees throughout the weekend, furthering a multi-year relationship built on shared standards of excellence.
Flatrock Motorclub joins as a presenting sponsor, reflecting its private motorsports community’s passion for exclusive experiences and genuine relationships. With many members calling the Gulf Coast and Alys Beach home, their presence underscores the event’s local ties and welcoming spirit.
Join the Celebration
For enthusiasts who value design, performance, and a sense of place, this is a coastal weekend made to remember—from the tarmac showcase to the VIP night on South Charles Street and the grand, town-wide finale. Tickets are limited.
GH Vehicles Delivers the First Nardone 928 Production Car
in *Sponsored, Aftermarket, Porsche News
GH Vehicles has delivered the first Nardone 928 production car, marking a major milestone for the reborn grand tourer. The car was ordered through GH Vehicles, and the second production 928 is already in assembly, also coordinated by the team, underscoring GH’s role as the U.S. partner guiding clients through ordering and timelines.
Nardone’s approach blends restoration of the 928 with a comprehensive re-engineering, featuring more than 3,000 newly created parts, bringing the car into a modern performance envelope while preserving the transaxle GT’s identity. The production car features an all-carbon body, redesigned front and rear axles, active electronic suspension, a quicker-ratio power steering rack, Brembo braking, and motorsport-grade wiring. Wheels are 18-inch forged “manhole” style, chosen to suit the wider stance. Inside, the cabin is fully reworked with leather or Phasa-reimagined Alcantara options and an 11-speaker hi-res audio system.
Nardone 928 Specs
- Bodywork: Carbon fiber panels over a widened stance; redesigned front/rear axles.
- Powertrain: 5.0L NA V8, 450 hp / 522 Nm, Motec ECU.
Transmission: Custom 6-speed with mechanical LSD; near-200 bespoke internal parts in the gearbox program.
Chassis: Active electronic suspension; quicker-ratio power steering rack; Brembo brakes.
Wheels/Tires: 18″ forged “manhole” wheels; Michelin tires.
Interior/Audio: Fully redesigned cockpit; leather or Phasa-reimagined Alcantara; 11-speaker hi-res system.
Under the hood, the build centers on a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 rated at 450 hp and 522 Nm of torque (around 385 lb-ft), managed by a Motec ECU. This is mated to a custom 6-speed gearbox with a mechanical limited-slip differential. The drivetrain and chassis upgrades transform the 928’s grand-touring character into something far sharper without sacrificing long-distance composure.
Nardone’s program stands on a world-class bench of partners. Podium Advanced Technologies leads build technology and vehicle engineering; BorromeodeSilva shapes design and interiors; Italtecnica develops the V8; Involute supports build technology; and Michelin supplies tires. It’s a deep roster that explains the leap from concept to production-ready execution.
For American buyers intrigued by the 928’s modern second life, GH Vehicles is the U.S. contact point. The first customer delivery flowed through GH from specification to handover, and the next car in assembly is also a GH-managed order, proving that the team can translate a complex, Europe-built project into a clear stateside process with reliable timelines and communication.
Interested in commissioning your own car? GH Vehicles can advise on build slots, spec decisions (aero, chassis, interior trims), and lead times—then coordinate with Nardone and partners on production and logistics. Readers can reach out directly to GH to start the conversation and secure a place in the queue.
