This weekend, the Monterey Car Week kicked off with the Monterey Motorsports Pre Reunion at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. As the name suggests, this is very much a build-up to the Reunion scheduled for the coming weekend. Many of the great cars set to appear were already on track. Among them were rare machines ranging from a Toyota Eagle Mk III to no fewer than four Maserati Birdcages. We were also on hand, which has resulted in this 200-shot gallery, which includes all 12 groups out on track during the weekend.
Bonhams was out in force with a preview of their upcoming and highly anticipated Quail Lodge Auction. The star of the display was undoubtedly the Ferrari 250 GTO from the Maranello Rosso Collection. Offered at no reserve, it looks set to easily break the existing auction world record.
More than ever before, exciting new cars will be launched this week. At Pebble Beach, McLaren will showcase the track-oriented 650S Sprint. The new machine will combine a more poised chassis with the 'standard' 650S engine.
Also on display at Pebble will be the high performance Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR. Probably the fastest SUV available, the 550 hp machine has clocked a lap at the Nurburgring in just 8 minutes 14 seconds.
