Supercars at the Wilton House: Video

Every August since 2009, the Wilton House, a countryside estate in England that dates back to 871 A.D., hosts a spectacular array of vehicles to raise money for charity. Supercars at the Wilton House last year welcomed more than 10,000 guests to the 21-acre grounds to observe some of the most desirable automotive works ever created. Watch as more than 100 cars parade out of the estate in this 15-minute video clip filmed by an attendee, and keep a keen eye out for the Aston Martin One-77, among others.

The Versa still has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, but the 2012 model gets a dual-fuel injector system, the first U.S. application of the Nissan technology.
