If you've followed Dutch sportscar makers Spyker, you know already about the Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder. The C8 Aileron Spyder is essentially a long-wheelbase version of the existing C8 Spyder and like its smaller sibling it features a semi-automatic canvas roof. Power comes from the same Audi-sourced 4.2-liter V-8 as the hardtop, rated at about 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The Aileron delivers a top speed of 187 mph and accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds.

The new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Sang Bleu is the latest special edition of the Veyron targa. The name add-on means "blue blood," as if a $2 million roadster that requires you have $200 million in the bank to buy, could be anything else.

Among the classics laid out on the Lodge's grounds, these are some of our favorites:

1930 Deusenberg J Hibbard & Darrin Convertible Victoria

    After reading up on all the hoopla, new models, and various test drives there is one missing. Tucked away in the non-Italian section of the Italiano Concorso on Friday was the all new Lotus Evora and not a single pic of it in the press, amazing!!
    As for the Italiano Concorso, great show as its now in some very good hands....

    While I think the judges made a sound decision with the Alfa, I am surprised the Delahaye wasn’t one of the finalists. It is so unusually beautiful.
