Powered by a straight eight engine complete with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, the Stutz DV-32 built between 1931 and 1934 was among the most sophisticated cars of its day. Unfortunately it proved to be the right car for the wrong time and as one of the many victims of the Great Depression, Stutz folded soon after. Considered the last hurrah for the marque, the DV-32 is among the most sought-after of all Stutz models. This was underlined at Amelia Island last weekend when this DV-32 Rollston Convertible Coupe changed hands for just over $1.5 million at the RM Auctions sale; a new record for a Stutz. While the Rollston Convertible Coupe is beautifully restored, we were treated to this time-warp DV-32 LeBaron Sedan at Pebble Beach last year after it had spent the previous 70+ years in storage.
Another Rollston bodied car that starred at Amelia Island last week is this fantastic Duesenberg SJN, which won 'Best of Show'. A sister car to the Amelia winner is this Bohman & Schwartz Convertible Coupe, which also started life as a Rollston Convertible Coupe but was extensively modified on behest of its original owner, the legendary actor Clark Gable.
Although competition versions of the new '991' models are already being built, Porsche updated the 997-based 911 GT3 R one more time ahead of the new season. Compared to last year's evolution, it boasts a longer wheelbase and an even bigger rear wing.
At the company's annual press and investor conference in Wolfsburg this week, Volkswagen offered a preview of the e-up!. Powered by a 40 kW electric motor and boasting a range of 150 km, this will be the manufacturer's first all-electric vehicle.
