Monterey Car Week has to be one of the best weeks of the year for car enthusiasts, and it’s something I encourage everyone to try out at least once. There’s a whole plethora of cars to see that suit everyone’s tastes. While the week may be centered around the big fancy shows like the Pebble Beach Concours, The Quail,…
Of all the strange and bizarre concept cars to ever exist, the Ferrari 512S Modulo Concept is among the strangest and most bizarre. It looks like a car more suited for space exploration than traversing human roads, but now that it runs and is finally road legal, it can finally fulfill its destiny of baffling people…
Despite the pretentious name, comma and all, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is still my favorite show during Monterey Car Week. I’ve realized it’s better if you treat it as a day long outdoor party with some cars in the middle. If you’re there simply to see cars, Kristen already wrote about how the best time to…
Looking at old, expensive and famous cars is great and everything, but it’s a whole other thing altogether to see them hanging out on the racetrack and in the paddock. That’s where they’re meant to be and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion does just that.
In the past, we’ve called The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, insanely opulent and “the fanciest.” It’s where supercar owners and their rich friends to come do what they already do at home, which is look at cars and drink champagne. That doesn’t change the fact that there are still many, many people milling around the…
We spend the majority of our time with our cars sitting inside them. And one of the things that we look at the most is the dashboard, which provides all kinds of useful information. The problem with modern dashboards, as informative as they are, is that they all kind of look the same. To find uniquely designed…
After looking at the cheapest cars sold at the 2018 Pebble Beach auctions, let’s now take a look at the most expensive. Full disclosure, there’s not anything realistic or attainable on this list—unless you are some kind of petroleum oligarch, in which case, god bless—but we can all dream.
This year’s Pebble Beach car auctions have just wrapped up, which also saw the most expensive car ever sold at auction. That’s all fine and good, but it’s not what interests me. I’m curious about what I could have gone home with. I’m curious about the cheapest cars sold at auction.
There was no shortage of awesome and incredible things at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but, as always, anything that has been touched by Singer Vehicle Design is in a class of its own. Singer and racing firm Williams brought a special treat in the form of the Dynamic and Lightweighting Study, another…
Ever wonder what the founders of car companies drove as their dailies? I have this incredible image in my mind of Ferruccio Lamborghini puttering to work every day on a tractor, but obviously that didn’t happen. In reality, he commuted in a beautiful powder-blue 1968 Lamborghini Islero.
Sadly, the new Ford GT seems to be more known for resale drama than its performance in motorsports and on the street. Here’s one way to win hearts and minds: add the famous Gulf livery. I don’t think it’s looked better than this to date.
It’s been described as “the world’s most important, desirable, and legendary motor car.” Of course, that was by the people selling it, but the hyperbole must have worked somehow, because this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most expensive car ever sold at auction this weekend at an RM Sotheby’s sale during Monterey…
Monterey Car Week isn’t just a soiree where members of America’s moneyed investor class come together and scowl at each other on a golf course, though that is most of it. Sometimes it comes with actual car news. Surprising news, even. And the biggest surprise we’ve seen so far is that the SSC Tuatara—the American…
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is a haven for filthy rich car collectors and beautiful, beautiful machines. Looking at the list of auctions taking place is like taking a comfortable seat in the lap of luxury.
It’s gotta be a real downer to absolutely destroy the beautiful car you’re looking to sell. It’s gotta be even stranger to check out the Mecum Auctions site and find a 1987 Porsche 959 Komfort with a shitload of front-end damage without a single mention as to, uh, why the hell the passenger side front wheel is…
There’s something pretty damn intoxicating about a vintage-looking car loaded with high-powered modern technology. Mercedes-Benz saw that appeal, so they took inspiration from their record-setting 1937 W 125, loaded it up with an electric powertrain, and pulled off the covers to drop some jaws at Pebble Beach.
I know that Infiniti’s Prototype 10 probably has an extremely slim chance of becoming real, but damn do I want it to manifest into a production version. It looks utterly remarkable. Single-seater! Perfect for misanthropes like me.
It’s Monterey Car Week, where some of the most expensive and exclusive cars ever made are displayed and auctioned off. It’s the perfect event to see automotive legends—and it’s practically begging for a heist. Here’s how you theoretically could pull it off.
The brand-new 2019 BMW Z4 Roadster has officially showed its face at this year’s Monterey Car Week. It looks quite excellent.
Get ready, guys. Jalopnik is swapping out the ghillie suits we usually wear to the office for some fancy clothes and big hats because we’re headed to Pebble Beach! Want to see some awesome car photos? Then keep an eye on the Jalopnik Instagram page all weekend.
