Sixty years of hypercars: Inside the ‘Wynn Signature – 2026 Hypercar Exhibition’ in Macao

The rarest thing at this year’s Wynn hypercar exhibition is restraint. Any integrated resort with deep enough pockets can line a lobby with expensive cars. The “Wynn Signature – Hypercar Exhibition” open now until 22 November at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace, does something more interesting: it chooses. More than 20 cars from Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Pagani and Aston Martin have been arranged into a single story, tracing how the fastest road cars on earth evolved from the 1960s to the present day.

Entry is free, no ticket required, and the run leads straight into Macau Grand Prix season, with the support of the Macao Government Tourism Office and the Sports Bureau of the Macao SAR Government. Purists will point out that a good number of the cars on display predate the word “hypercar”. Standing in front of a Lamborghini Miura, nobody seems to mind.

Seeing all of it means visiting both properties. The Ferraris, Lamborghini, Pagani and Aston Martin models are gathered at Wynn Palace in Cotai, while the Porsches are on display at Wynn Macau on the peninsula.

How the exhibition has grown since 2023

The first edition, in 2023, gathered 16 cars worth more than HK$500 million; Shaquille O’Neal turned up to the opening. 

The 2026 edition completes the move from spectacle to curation. This year’s theme is the Year of the Fire Horse, which last came around in 1966 – the same year, as it happens, that the Miura was unveiled and the modern supercar was born. The 2026 show picks up on that coincidence, presenting each car as a benchmark of its era across six decades. 

In the Chinese zodiac, the Fire Horse stands for untamed energy and bold breakthroughs, which is a fair description of most of what is now parked in these lobbies. It helps that 2026 also marks 20 years of Wynn’s presence in Macao. 

“Macao boasts a rich motorsport heritage through the legendary Macau Grand Prix – a proud tradition that spans more than 70 years,” says Linda Chen, president, vice chairman and executive director of Wynn Macau, Limited, adding that “the spirit of the ‘Fire Horse’ resonates deeply with Wynn’s core development philosophy over the past 20 years.”

Three Ferraris that tell a 40-year story

The headline act sits at Wynn Palace: three generations of Ferrari’s ultimate flagships in one place. The F40, built to mark Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, was the last car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari – no traction control, no power steering, a machine with the manners of a race car because it essentially was one. The F50 that followed took the opposite route to the same destination, putting a Formula 1-derived V12 into a road car limited to 349 units. And LaFerrari, capped at 499 units, opened the marque’s hybrid era, pairing its V12 with an electric motor that owed its thinking to F1’s energy-recovery systems.

Seen in sequence, the trio compresses 30 years of Maranello’s answer to one question – how much race car can you sell to an amateur driver? – into a single glance. Around them, the supporting Ferrari cast runs from a Dino 246 GT, the oldest design in the room, to the 812 Competizione Aperta, SF90 XX Stradale, 488 Pista and F8 Tributo.

The Porsche quartet and a Lamborghini timeline

Across the city at Wynn Macau, Porsche gets its own four-chapter history. The 935 is the unicorn: a track-only homage to the “Moby Dick” race car, limited to 77 units worldwide. The 959 shows what 1980s engineering ambition looked like, bringing electronically controlled all-wheel drive, twin turbocharging and adjustable suspension to the road decades before they were commonplace. The Carrera GT is the sentimental favourite, a race-derived V10 bolted to a proper manual gearbox and widely regarded as the definitive icon of the analogue supercar era. And the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 marks the summit of the naturally aspirated engine, before turbos and batteries changed the conversation.

Lamborghini, meanwhile, contributes a timeline of its own: from the Miura and the Countach – the poster car that taught a generation the word “wedge” – through the Murciélago LP640 and Huracán STO to the Centenario Roadster.

A camouflaged Pagani and the shape of things to come

If the Ferraris are the history lesson, the BAPE × Pagani Huayra R is the punchline. Created for the opening of the BAPE Store Macau at Wynn Palace, it wraps a track-only Huayra R – already limited to 30 units globally – in a one-of-a-kind camouflage livery, a collision of Italian engineering and Japanese streetwear that would have been unthinkable at a car show a decade ago. It follows the BAPE collaboration that drew crowds at the 2025 edition, and it signals where the exhibition is heading: cars shown as cultural objects, alongside fashion and design.

Two more Paganis – the Zonda F Absolute and the Huayra Oro Giallo – hold the marque’s corner, and the Aston Martin Valhalla brings the story up to the minute, one of the newest cars in the room and the exhibition’s glimpse of what the next 60 years might drive like. Wynn says more ultra-rare cars will be revealed as the exhibition goes on, which by now is part of the ritual. 

In the South Lobby, amid the hot-air-balloon sculptures, the F40 and F50 feel less like exhibits and more like part of the scenery. That, in the end, is the trick Macao has learned to play better than anywhere else: the world-class and the walk-in, side by side.
