Carlisle Import & Performance

Annual car show roars into spring with all the imports and performance cars we want; plus tributes to Opel, Volvo, and JDM power.

The 2021 Carlisle Annual Import & Performance Nationals will be taking place on May 14-15 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This year’s show will be an international showcase of performance, horsepower, and automotive innovation. With vehicles repping over a half-dozen countries, eras represented will include classics and modern marvels.

Carlisle has a lot of fun packed into the event. Activities include vehicle displays, show car competitions, car limbo, drift limbo, rolling exhaust contest, autocross, and more.

If that doesn’t lure you in, then the showfield will. Packed with a staggering range of cars; it affords attendees to opportunity to see, experience (and maybe buy) these rides up close, and under the hood.
