The first ever Porsche car show at Tivoli Village took place on Saturday, April 19th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. This event was held to celebrate the opening of Scissors & Scotch, a high-end barber shop that also contains a fully stocked bar.

41 Porsches attended the event, along with 2 Mercedes from our friends with the Mercedes Club. There were also other marques represented – Volkswagen, Lamborghini, and Nissan. 50 vehicles participated in total.

April 12th was a special day for our Las Vegas Region. We made history by having a record turnout of 55 cars participating in a drive! It all started when Frank Grimmelmann from AZPCA let me know that they were planning a Fun Run weekend and wondered if we could organize a drive. They had 19 cars on the way and we supplied the rest! The Mt. Charleston area is beautiful this time of year and we were fortunate to have great weather and roads.

What a day we had at the Porsche Sprint Challenge held at Spring Mountain Motorsports Raceway in March. Over 30 LVR members enjoyed viewing Qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday with perfect weather. The tailgate lunch hit the spot, with sandwiches and much more!

Our first HPDE for 2025 was a resounding success. We opened registration early and offered an early bird discount. We had a tremendous response and sold out 2 weeks in advance of the event date. 

We were fortunate that that the weather cooperated all weekend with temps in the high 60’s to low 70’s. Nothing better to get out and exercise your car and test your driving skills.

Due to the large turnout, we had the front entry gates opened @ 6AM so we could get participants registered early and allow them to get their cars through tech before the drivers meeting.

This and all of our prior events could not happen without the efforts of our volunteers led by Lisa Disabatino managing all aspects of registration to Ryan Raser and Andy Stahl @ tech ensured a smooth flow from driver registration to completing tech in record time.

On Sunday, February 23, 2025, the Arts District of Las Vegas transformed into a vibrant canvas of automotive artistry with the return of Cars und Kaffee. Held on the last Sunday of every month, this event—sponsored by Gaudin Classic—has earned its reputation as the go-to gathering for classic Porsche enthusiasts. But it’s more than just a car show; it’s a community-driven celebration that bridges the suburbs and the city’s creative heart.

Set against the eclectic backdrop of the Good Wolf Lifestyle Store, the February edition drew a diverse crowd, many of whom rarely venture into the Arts District. The star attractions? A stunning lineup of vintage Porsches, from air-cooled 911s to rare models preserved with the expertise of Gaudin Classic, North America’s first Porsche Classic Partner. These weren’t cars meant to roar or flaunt excess—they [...]

Toy Drive Event: 

At our December brunch, our club came together for a heartwarming toy drive event aimed at spreading holiday cheer to children in need. Although our plans to work with Toys for Tots directly didn’t work out, another local group in Clark County was also in need of toys. With your generous donations, we were able to help bring joy to 3,200 foster children this past holiday season. Thank you for your incredible support in making our Toy Drive for foster kids such a success. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to making a difference in the lives of these kids. Stay tuned for more ways to get involved, and once again, thank you for spreading hope and happiness!

Our first High Performance Drivers Education of the year was a complete success! Absolutely perfect weather was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to Peter George on his first time as HPDE Coordinator. The two-day event was flawless. Also, a big shoutout to Brian Schmidt, Chief Driving Instructor, and Lisa DiSabatino, Registrar for their countless hours and attention to detail to make it a success. Also, thanks to the many volunteers who were invaluable in organizing over 120 participants!

What started as a beloved classic Porsche gathering in Las Vegas has now grown—Cars und Kaffee is officially in two cities! Now taking place simultaneously in both Las Vegas and San Francisco on the last Sunday of every month, the event continues to bring together Porsche enthusiasts for mornings filled with iconic cars, great coffee, and an unbeatable sense of community.

This past weekend, Cars und Kaffee SF braved the elements with a fantastic turnout, despite the cold weather and rising tides. A huge thank-you to everyone who made it out, as well as to @sean.manchester for his hospitality and the incredible homemade treats from @piccinocoffeebar. A special shoutout to @thepersianpillow and @artengine8, Sahand and Yuri, for stepping up as fantastic stand-in hosts!Whether you’re in Vegas or the Bay Area, Cars und Kaffee [...]

A big thank you for everyone who came to the Gala this past Sunday. The venue was moved to Red Rock Country Club and Chef William and the staff treated us like Royalty. 

The great thing was that we reduced the cost this year and were able to have the revenue from the participants covered the cost and we did not have to supplement the event as we have [...]
