Monterey Car Week

Ahead of its debut Thursday, images of the BMW Z4 Concept have been leaked courtesy of Autoblog.nl. With traditional rear-wheel drive BMW proportions, the Z4 Concept features a long hood, good dash-to-axle ratio, and short rear deck. The front snout is canted forward, with some saying it resembles...

Porsche cars from all eras are rising in value at a brisk pace. Certain 911 Carreras from the 1970s can fetch high six- and even low seven-figure sums. Few Porsche cars from the modern era command that sort of dollar. One such car that does is the mighty Carrera GT, and an incredibly clean example...

BMW has released a shadowy teaser image of a new open-top sports car concept set to debut on August 17 in Monterey, California. The car is set to be the automaker’s star attraction at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance taking place on August 20. The concept is thought to preview...

Aston Martin’s Vanquish Zagato family is about to expand with two new members, and one of them is a Shooting Brake. We’re talking about a proper Shooting Brake here, with two doors and a tall rear hatch. It joins a roofless Speedster in the expanded Vanquish Zagato family. Existing...

When it comes to rare cars, it doesn’t get much rarer than a Ford GT40 prototype, as just 12 were built. But even rarer still is a prototype for the Ford GT40 Roadster, of which just four were built and only one remains in its original condition. That one prototype, the 1965 Ford GT40...

Remember when Infiniti, that company that began operations in 1989, campaigned a 1940s open-wheel grand prix racer? Neither do we. And did you know that it was electric? Seems pretty far ahead of its time, doesn't it? Infiniti has revealed its "what if" Prototype 9 race car ahead of the festivities...

Acura is joining forces with Team Penske to field a prototype effort in the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The automaker already competes in the series’ GT Daytona (GTD) class with the NSX GT3, but now it’s ready to step up to the premier Daytona Prototype International...

Mercedes-Benz design boss Gordon Wagener and his colleagues at Mercedes’ Advanced Design Center located in Sindelfingen, Germany have teased a new concept their developing for this month’s 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. In a video posted to Mercedes’ official...

Now is your chance to own one of just 24 Aston Martin Vulcans ever produced, and this time it may even be a bargain for supercar enthusiasts. This is, in fact, the same Aston Martin Vulcan that was offered at Mecum Monterey in 2016: car No. 11 of 24 built and one of three Vulcans delivered to the...

Remember the stunning Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe unveiled last summer? Well, the car is about to spawn both a Vanquish Zagato Volante convertible and a permanently roofless Vanquish Zagato Speedster. Both cars are expected to be revealed during the 2017 Monterey Car Week in mid-August...

Bonhams really knows how to take our breath away. The auction house will sell off this gorgeous collection of Group-B rally cars at its August 18 auction at Quail Run during Monterey Car Week. The cars have been in a private collection since 1989, but the current owner is ready to see them off...

Some cars stand the test of time, while others don't fair so well. However, when it comes to this pair of Mercedes-Benz 300SLs tucked away in a garage somewhere, they've been kept in meticulously good shape. They aren't just any old pair of sought after Mercedes-Benz either. So the story goes, the...

Special cars command big bucks. This 1963 Jaguar Lightweight E-Type is one special car that's just bit extra special, and it will soon head to a new home as it's bound for Bonhams' auction during 2017 Monterey Car Week this August. A Jaguar E-Type will always conjure special attention, but the...

If the best thing you can do with a car is to drive it, then the best thing to do during Monterey Car Week is to drive a classic. I can think of no better place to drive a classic than at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, so I packed up my 1956 Lotus Eleven sports racer and headed to...

Old film cameras are hopelessly overrated. Fabulous magazine covers have been shot anonymously with smartphones; "geniuses" have shot with disposable film cameras, yielding photos only slightly better than I took on my seventh grade aquarium field trip in 1992. (Yet, Terry Richardson still gets...

Last spring, we told you about the wonderful return of the Lister Knobbly. These were British sports cars essentially crafted as hopped-up Jaguars. The brand has been given new life, and Lister will produce continuation versions of fast, loud, and beautiful machine from the 50's. The latest version...

If there's any stage perfect for a brand like Bentley to show off its latest and greatest, it would have to be Monterey Car Week. That's where folks rich enough to afford a Bentley assemble to look at high-dollar machines, talk about their own high-dollar machines, and spend lots of dollars on more...

The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO that went up for auction yesterday during the Bonhams sale at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering finally sold for $38,115,000, setting a new record for the highest price paid for a car at auction. The previous record was $29,650,000, paid last year for a 1954 Mercedes-Benz...

There can be few higher honors for the world's elite car collectors than Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This year, the award goes to a 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster, selected from among the hundreds of cars and tens of contenders vying for supremacy on this highly...

Aston Martin. Just the name can set a gearhead's pulse racing. But there's more to the marque than just its latest and greatest cars like the Rapide, V12 Vantage, and DBS. It has history--serious history. Like the 1966 DB6 going up for auction in Monterey via Mecum. This particular 1966 Aston DB6...
