Flagship All-New Kenworth T680 Shines at Exotics Automotive Event
The new Kenworth T680 recently was the special guest star at the "Exotics at Redmond Town Center", a unique automotive event in nearby Redmond, Wash.
The Kenworth T680 is shown with six Lamborghinis at the recent event.
The organized event features 100 to 150 exotic cars and 300 to 400 automotive enthusiasts every Saturday morning from April to October. Organizers heard about the new Kenworth T680, which is considered exotic among Class 8 trucks. So, it was only natural for the group to extend a special invitation to Kenworth to exhibit the T680 at an exotics car show.
In the past, the event has hosted a top executive of Lamborghini, famous car designers, Lexus LFA, Bugatti Veyron, and SSC Ultimate Aero, among others. The majority of cars shown at the event are made by Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.
"Organizers occasionally offer a special invitation to vehicles that possess exceptional design, use leading-edge technologies and manufacturing processes, and spark a passion in automotive aficionados," noted Mark Brown, Kenworth director of program management. Brown recently drove the aerodynamic T680 to the event on a sunny, Saturday morning.
"Everyone was excited to see such a unique vehicle showcased at the event, and people were very enthusiastic about the Kenworth T680's leading-edge styling and interior luxury. It was especially fun to watch as the Lamborghinis maneuvered to get their picture taken with the T680," smiled Brown "It was a great spring day, and the event was a great showcase for the T680."
