Ferrari Friday with Bonhams Quail preview and new Rodin track car ...
Three early Ferraris are among the headlining lots of next week's Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction. The most recent of these is this 250 Europa GT. The last example built, it was sold new to Jacques Swaters. Benefitting from a recent restoration at the hands of Brad Hoyt and Patrick Ottis, 0427GT has a $2.25 - $2.75 million estimate. Of an even earlier vintage is this 166 Inter. It is one of three fitted with a Cabriolet body by Stabilimenti Farina and was meticulously restored by the consignor. Fitted with a rare alloy body by Ghia, this 212 Inter will also cross the block next Friday. Recently restored and re-united with its original engine, 0145E should find a new owner for around $1.5 million.
Among the new cars due to be released in Monterey is the Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. The open version of the highly acclaimed Venom F5 will be revealed at Quail on Friday.
Hailing from New Zealand's South Island is this Rodin FZero track-day special. This mighty machine is powered by a twin-turbo, four-litre V10 that is mated to a hybrid electric motor. The combined, maximum output is a staggering 1,160 bhp in a car that weighs less than 700 kg and has massive downforce. The FZero name is a reference to it being faster and one-up on the current generation of Formula 1 cars. Production will start in 2023 and just 27 will be built.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
