If you love supercars (who doesn’t) and want to help a great cause then check out this fundraising event in Auckland next month; the Starship Supercar Show.
Giltrap Group has joined forces with some of New Zealand’s most passionate car owners to bring together the most impressive collection of Supercars ever seen in this country; for one unforgettable day on Sunday, April 11 in the 119GNR building in Grey Lynn, Auckland.
Aisha Daji Punga, Starship Foundation Chief Executive, says: “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Giltrap Group for this event which is bound to bring much joy to car enthusiasts alike while raising vital funds to bring brighter futures to the children of New Zealand.”
Making its New Zealand debut is the McLaren Speedtail; the 1000 horsepower-hybrid with a top speed of 403km/h. It will join two other ‘Hypercars’ from the company started by New Zealand motorsport legend Bruce McLaren: the Senna and P1.

Michael Giltrap, Joint Managing Director of Giltrap Group, says, “The Starship Supercar Show perfectly sums up what Giltrap Group are about. We love cars, and we have a long history supporting Starship. I am genuinely excited not only to be part of this event but as a car fan; I can’t wait to see some of these cars in the metal.”
Along with more than 80 phenomenal cars like the Aston Martin Vulcan, Porsche 918, and Bugatti Veyron, ‘The Heart of Racing Pit Lane’ will showcase an exclusive stable of racing cars.
