This event wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of the public, Bumblebee 1000’s sponsors and volunteers, plus An Garda Síochána.

This incredible machine is a limited-edition variant of the Chiron, specifically designed to break the 300 mph barrier reaching a max of 304.773 mph (490.484 kph).

But if the Chiron wasn’t special enough, how about the 950bhp LaFerrari, the ultimate prancing horse with only 499 of them in production. More Italian supercars taking part area Ferrari SF90 and a Ferrari 296 GTB.

Plus rare Lamborghini models like the limited edition Aventador SVJ 63, one of only 63 in the world, and the last Gallardo Superleggera ever made, that was owned by Eric Clapton.

Also confirmed for the charity roadtrip is a stunning silver McLaren 765LT plus models from Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ford, Porsche, Mercedes AMG, Nissan GT-R, Rolls Royce and some American and Australian muscle.

Supported by An Garda Síochána, the supercar roadtrip will stop at many locations on the way allowing the charity to meet and celebrate the Little Blue Heroes ‘Honorary Gardaí’ children at each of the designated stop.

These remarkable kids are the heart and soul of Bumblebee 1000, and they will enjoy an unforgettable few days as the multi-million Euro supercar convoy roars its way around Ireland.

This event wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of the public, Bumblebee 1000’s sponsors and volunteers, plus An Garda Síochána.
