A collector shows his pride and joy, but remains hush on the location.

Car Week is all about the toys. The Ferrari toys, the Lambo toys, the Porsche toys and even the Mercedes toys. Cars are swarming to the area by the hundreds, on flatbeds and with drivers behind the wheel. But meanwhile, in a nearby garage – the location of which we’re not allowed to tell you, because the owner wants to keep it as quiet as possible – sits a small collection of modern, high-performance machines with a value of multiple millions of dollars.

Why did we agree to keep the location quiet and the owner anonymous? Hell – because we like toys too.

The owner (we’ll refer to him as Tom for this story) pulls off not one, but two covers to show a pristine Porsche 911 GT3 RS. You can’t go wrong if you want a race car for the street, and at a $175,900 starting price, you might be better off leaving it on the track. Or under two covers.

Speaking of covers, all Tom’s cars are draped with battery tenders keeping the batteries charged and ready to fire up at a moment’s notice. He did note that “every car gets exercised properly.”

Most of his collection now consists of newer cars, because “older cars are a pain in the ass.” Tom is referring to the advances in technology. Take his Porsche GT3 RS, for example. Its curb weight is 3,150 pounds, and it somehow packs 500 horsepower into a small 244-cubic-inch engine. Compare that to the 1963 Porsche 911, its original release year, which only put out 128 horsepower on a flat six-cylinder engine, but weighed 760 pounds less.

There is a bit of nostalgia in the air as Tom uncovers his 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 (aka Ferrari Daytona).

“I bought this in 1970, because back then they were not so expensive,” Tom says. He won’t reveal what he had to fork over 45 years ago, but in today’s market he would clear an easy $900,000.

The remaining cars in Tom’s collection are a Mercedes SL650, a SL600 and CLK63 AMG Black.

I dare say, Tom is a Mercedes guy. Of those his favorite is the CLK63. With a 6.2-liter V-8 engine pushing well over 500 horsepower, we don’t even have to wonder why.
