  • Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce Roadster

    It was back in June that Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed an open-top version of the Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce was coming, and now the beast has made its debut in Monterey during The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering event. Unfortunately, Aventador SV Roadsters will be a rare sight as just 500 examples will be built for worldwide consumption, 100 less than the coupe which managed to sell out within weeks of its debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show. Pricing is set at $530,075, a hefty premium on the $493,069 you had to pay for the coupe. ALSO SEE: Spoiled Son Sets Fire To...

    McLaren F1 Upgraded To LM Spec Sells For $13.75 Million At Monterey Auction

    Considering there were just over 100 McLaren F1s ever built, of which only 72 were built for the road, it’s surprising how often the cars trade hands. Only in June we reported on British actor Rowan Atkinson, famous for playing the titular character on the hit comedy Mr. Bean, selling his...

    New 3.0 CSL Hommage R Looks Amazing, Restores Our Faith In BMW Design

    They say styling is a subjective thing, but given the comments our original post on the reveal of BMW’s 3.0 CSL Hommage during May’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este generated, it’s safe to say that the automaker’s designers had got it wrong. But were we all just...

  • BMW M4 GTS concept, 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

    BMW’s plans for a more hardcore, track-focused version of its M4 sports coupe has been one of the worst kept secrets of the year. First there were the prototypes spotted at the Nürburgring. Then there was the MotoGP M4 safety car that featured a water-injection system BMW said was destined for production. And then a car named the M4 GTS showed up in BMW’s dealership ordering system, adding the final piece of the puzzle. Well, BMW has finally ended all of the rumors with the reveal of the M4 GTS concept at this week’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Along with...

    Center-Drive Porsche 911 Carrera S 'Centro' Heads To Monterey Auction

    One of the cool bits about the McLaren F1, besides its tremendous performance capability, is the fact that the driver sits in the center of the car. There's the main seat in the middle, then two rear seats behind the driver's left and right shoulders. This puts you in the center of the action, and...

  •  1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/430 L88

    To Corvette fans, certain groupings of letters and numbers have a lot of meaning. For late-model cars, Z06, ZR1, and Z51 are important alphanumerics, and for fans of vintage 'Vettes, ZL1, L71, and L88 stir their passions. Later this week, Corvette fans will be able to bid on what may be the lowest-mileage original 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 in existence at the festivities surrounding the Pebble Beach Concours. From August 13-15 at the Marriott Hotel near Fisherman's Wharf, Rick Cole Auctions will be auctioning off 40 historic cars, including a 1969 Corvette L88 with only 2,576 miles on the...

    Bentley 'Team Blower' Le Mans Racer Headed To Pebble Beach

    Its driver's seat is hardly the lap of luxury. There's nary a stitch of diamond-quilted leather, and at speed, it'll hardly be a whisper-quiet womb. But the classic Bentley that will be displayed at this year's Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach is a key piece of the company's...
