Exotics Month

  While The Quail 2010 celebrated 45 years of Carroll Shelby's Mustangs in a prime collection of GT500s, GT350s, KR convertibles and one bare-metal shell of an ur-Shelby Mustang, a smaller circle of roadsters connected the dots between the 'Stangs to Shelby himself. A curated quartet of Shelby...

Bugatti. The very name spells vintage luxury--or, if you're more modern-minded, outright speed and power. Though with its current German parentage, the Bugatti of today bears little resemblance to the classics of Ettore. Delahaye, on the other hand, has fallen off the map for all but the dedicated...

After you drown in high-cholesterol classics from Bugatti, Packard, Allard and Shelby all day at The Quail 2010, it's easy to overlook some of the simply amazing cars in the parking lot of the Quail Lodge. The cars left idle on the Quail greens alone would put whole concours events in less moneyed...

Vintage race cars capture the highest tech and finest aesthetic of their time.

  This year's Quail motorsports gathering underscored the "motorsports" half of the equation, with a display of rare race cars that avoided the destruction you might expect to happen to lightweight, fragile classics like these two exceptional cars. The 1955 Kurtis 500SX above has a unique...

This selection of the Alfa Romeos on display at the 2010 Quail Lodge Motorsports Gathering shows a sampling of the Italians on display.

The Monterey classics weekend is on, and this morning, we're live from Laguna Seca to show you the first live photos of the 2012 Ford Mustang 302 BOSS Laguna Seca to go with our full preview of the 302 BOSS you've seen earlier today. It's a long name, one associated with a long history of...

The Boss is back. And no, we're not talking about Bruce Springsteen or Tony Danza. There's a 302 involved, which takes us back to a completely different boss: the original, championship-winning Parnelli Jones 1970 Trans Am car.

We’ve seen it in white, we’ve seen in black, heck we’ve even seen it in a bright orange finish, but for some reason every time we see the 2012 Lexus LFA in a new color we just fall in love with it all over again. This time around the car is finished in a bright yellow paint scheme that...

Infiniti is heading down the road already strafed by the likes of BMW's M division, Mercedes-Benz' AMG sub-brand, and Audi's S and RS offspring, with a new performance badge dubbed IPL. The Infiniti Performance Line bows today in Pebble Beach, California, where the luxury brand is gathering with...

It's almost time for the most prestigious classic-car event in America. This weekend, High Gear Media will be covering the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance from stem to stern--with some driving time with a pair of exotics, a side trip through The Quail's impromptu collection of singular...

Just last month we reported that Lamborghini was looking at the feasibility of launching not one but two new models, a new entry-level sports car and a high-performance SUV, but apart from some conjecture there were few solid details suggesting the new models would ever see the light of day. Fast...

Lotus is showcasing its most substantial presence ever during this week’s 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, with three new model unveilings including one world premier. The first is the new Lotus Exos Type 125, an F1 inspired 'Consumer Track Car' complete with a race-bred Cosworth V-8...

The word on the Estoque from its concept debut was initially good, but then production rumors were quashed.

A car review is a car review is a car review. Like me, you're probably tired of reading the endless inside-baseball chatter concerning brake-disc size, 50-70 mph passing times, even plug-in driving ranges. If you drive the right car, it's...well...academic, isn't it? Thank goodness the Rolls-Royce...
