Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG 4Matic

    The automotive world can seem like a grand illustration of monkey see, monkey do. While there are always government regulations—see turbos and hybrid systems—to consider, there's plenty of terminology and tech, like four-door "coupes," and fake engine noise, which spreads among manufactures for no good reason at all. So when rumors swirled that BMW announced it would unveil a water-injected M4 GTS concept at next month's Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, you might think Mercedes-Benz would answer the concept with some new information regarding its own efforts in the...

  • The Pinnacle Portfolio

    Yes, the Pinnacle Portfolio is the most expensive car collection ever to hit the auction block. But that's an awfully crass way to describe this anthology of automotive excellence. After all, a fleet of gold-plated, ruby-encrusted Dartz Prombrons could have achieved that distinction. And while the anonymous gentleman who assembled this majestic menagerie clearly had infinite supplies of cash, he also—more importantly—had fantastic taste.

    It's hard to believe, but a Ferrari has never taken the title of Best in Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before—until now, that is. A 1954 Ferrari 375 MM coachbuilt by Scaglietti has rolled away with the trophy at this year's event, one of just five road-going models ever made. The car was originally ordered by film director Roberto Rossellini, and started its life as a Pininfarina-built competition Spyder. An accident later sealed the 375's fate though, damaging the body beyond repair but leaving the chassis suitable for new clothes. Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena...
