Automotive Addiction hit the road on 10th August to join the hundreds of petrolheads attending the second instalment of the Ultimate German Car Meet. Held annually since 2024 at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, this event celebrates the very best of the German automotive scene. Models from all of the big-five brands descended on the site for a day of motoring madness, including stunning examples from BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Audi.
Last year’s inaugural event saw over 650 German-built cars taking pride of place, and this year’s show promised to offer an even broader showcase, from timeless classics to the very latest models. Visitors also enjoyed access to the Museum’s historic collection, including the 1928 BMW Dixi – the first car to carry the BMW badge and a fascinating slice of motoring history that was presented to the Trust in 1994 to mark the new partnership between BMW and Rover Group and to commemorate the fact that the first BMW car was conceived in Britain.
As one of the UK’s premier German performance car sales specialists – with over 700 Audi RS models sold to date, alongside numerous Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and VW models – this was an event that was simply too good for Automotive Addiction to miss. The team packed up the gazebo, grabbed the keys to some of their most eye-catching stock, and rolled into Gaydon in style.
Glorious sunshine meant perfect conditions, and the team’s stand quickly became a hotspot for enthusiasts. Among the cars, one surprise addition stood out – not German, but impossible to ignore – Dhyllan’s Lamborghini Huracan Performante. With its 640PS V12, rollcage, carbon-fibre bodywork and jaw-dropping Viola Parsifae paintwork protected by PPF, the limited-edition Lambo had spectators gathering from 50 feet away.
While the Italian stallion wowed the crowds, the spotlight belonged to the Audi RS6 GT, one of just 60 UK examples and finished in Audi Sport Heritage livery. This ultra-rare 600PS super estate was swarmed with fans throughout the day, eager to get a closer look at a car that redefines the family wagon. Seeing such a collectible RS6 in the wild is rare – and Automotive Addiction’s example was one of the finest on display anywhere in the UK.
Alongside the RS6 GT, the stand featured some of Automotive Addiction’s current sales stock, including a 510PS BMW M3 G80 in Voodoo Blue, a menacing 560PS Audi R8 GT in Phantom Black Metallic, and a track-focused BMW M4 GTS in Exclusive Frozen Dark Grey.
Customer cars also joined the display, such as a red Audi RS6 Carbon Black Edition recently treated to full-body paint protection film (PPF), a Volkswagen Golf R Clubsport, a rare Nogaro Blue Audi RS3 8Y, and a stripped-out BMW M2 track car – showing the depth and passion of the AA community.
Meeting Audi RS and BMW Enthusiasts Face-to-Face
“The stand was busy all day!” says Dhyllan. “It’s always great to meet past, present and hopefully future customers in the flesh – that way, they can see that we’re as passionate about these cars as they are. We work hard to present what we do and our values in our social media posts and YouTube videos, but nothing beats having a laugh and a conversation with a fellow enthusiast face-to-face.”
Beyond admiring the cars, visitors could see first-hand the benefits of paint protection film (PPF). Demonstrations on Automotive Addiction’s van allowed guests to scratch sections of film and then watch it self-heal with a touch of heat. For anyone in doubt about whether PPF is worth it for their Audi RS3, BMW M3 or Porsche 911, the live demonstration proved exactly how it keeps paintwork flawless.
Away from the stand, the Ultimate German Car Meet 2025 filled the Museum grounds with over 700 German cars, from classic BMW E30s and Porsche 911s to the very latest Audi RS and Mercedes-AMG models. It was a true feast for enthusiasts of German engineering.
Automotive Addiction Looks Ahead to 2026
Big thanks go out to Parmi Rawan for organising yet another stellar event – the whole day was top notch from start to finish, and Automotive Addiction will certainly be back again for the next Ultimate German Car Meet in a year’s time.
