Luxury Cars at Polo
At Newport Polo, horsepower has always been at the heart of the experience, but it isn’t just the ponies that captivate the crowd. Alongside the thunder of hooves, another kind of power and precision often steals the spotlight: luxury automobiles. Each season, the sidelines transform into a living showroom, where guests can admire some of the most coveted cars in the world, blending the thrill of sport with the allure of high design.
In August, Herb Chambers Exotics brought serious star power to the paddock with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT Convertible, and Bentley Flying Spur Sedan on full display. Adding to the spectacle, a sleek motorcade of customer-owned Bentleys and Rolls-Royces cruised the grounds, making for a show-stopping parade of horsepower and high style.
For the annual Pro-Am, Grieco Automotive drew crowds with two striking models from BMW and Acura, displayed by the cabanas. From the moment gates opened, guests gravitated toward the cars, stopping to admire the craftsmanship, peek inside the cabins, and, of course, snap photos against their gleaming finishes. The vehicles weren’t just parked, they became part of the polo experience, a social hub where fans gathered between chukkers, drinks in hand, to talk horsepower of two very different kinds.
The response is always the same: people love the chance to get up close to vehicles they might only see on the road at a glance. Whether it’s a family stopping to pose for a photo, a couple taking a closer look at the detailing, or car enthusiasts checking out the latest innovations, these displays add another layer of excitement to match day.
The 2025 automotive showcases continue a tradition at Newport Polo of pairing polo ponies with automotive legends. In past seasons, the field has hosted displays of Lamborghinis, exotic imports, and other high-performance luxury cars that turned heads long before the first throw-in. The cars embody many of the same qualities polo fans admire in the game itself: elegance, speed, agility, and the unmistakable thrill of performance. It’s no wonder they fit so seamlessly into the atmosphere of polo Saturdays.
For players and fans alike, the connection is clear. Polo is a sport of heritage and precision, where every move requires power under control. High-end automobiles share that DNA they’re built not only for speed but for beauty, craftsmanship, and the experience of the drive. Just as the ponies are trained to respond with finesse, the cars are engineered to respond with exhilarating performance. Together, they create a narrative of luxury and tradition that resonates with Newport Polo’s audience.
These automotive showcases are more than brand displays; they’re moments of discovery and aspiration. Guests don’t just walk past, they stop, linger, and imagine. The cars spark conversation, selfies, and memories, enriching the communal experience that makes Newport Polo more than a match. They’re a bridge between worlds: the timeless elegance of polo and the cutting-edge innovation of modern engineering.
With each season, the lineup of cars continues to evolve, ensuring there’s always something new to admire by the cabanas. Whether it’s the sleek lines of a Lamborghini, the commanding presence of a BMW, or the innovative design of an Acura, the cars on display complement the energy on the field, adding another dimension of sophistication and spectacle.
At Newport Polo, it’s always about more horsepower, on the field and on the sidelines. The ponies may win the game, but the cars capture hearts, cementing their place as an unforgettable part of the polo tradition.
