About Speedwerkz Exotic Car Experience
Speedwerkz Exotic Car Experience stands out among Gatlinburg's many attractions as a genuine surprise for automotive enthusiasts and curious visitors alike. This isn't a typical tourist destination - it houses some of the world's rarest supercars that most people never expect to encounter in person.
The collection rotates between 14-15 exotic vehicles including a one-of-a-kind Bugatti Chiron SS, McLaren Senna, and Lamborghini Huracan STO. Each car sits on illuminated turntables without barriers, allowing visitors to get remarkably close for photos and detailed viewing.
Children often become mesmerized by the displays, while knowledgeable staff take time to explain each vehicle's specifications and unique stories. The racing simulators feature professional-grade equipment that actual drivers use for training - they prove more challenging than many visitors anticipate.
At $21.95 per person, some families might pause at the price point, but the up-close access to cars worth millions delivers exceptional value for automotive enthusiasts. Most visitors spend approximately 45 minutes exploring the collection, making it an ideal indoor escape during Gatlinburg's busy summer season.

One-of-a-Kind Bugatti Chiron SS
This is the crown jewel - literally the only one of its kind in the world. The lighting and turntable display make it feel like automotive art, and getting this close to a multi-million dollar hypercar is surreal.
Professional Racing Simulators
These aren't arcade games - they're the same simulators real race car drivers use for training. We were surprised by how challenging and realistic they are, making it feel like actual racing.
Barrier-Free Car Access
Unlike most car shows, there are no ropes or barriers keeping you back. We could get incredibly close for photos and really appreciate the craftsmanship of each supercar.
McLaren Senna Display
This track-focused beast looks like it belongs on a race circuit, not a museum floor. The aerodynamic details are mind-blowing when you can examine them up close.
