Where the Monterey Car week was once all about classic cars, many luxury car manufacturers realised it attracted their key demographic. As a result, the number of high performance, limited production debuts has increased year over year. The 2022 edition was no exception with a large number of high performance machines breaking cover. Perhaps the wildest of all is this McLaren Solus GT. Inspired by the Gran Turismo concept of a few years ago, it is track-only, single-seater sports car, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10. Only 25 examples will be built and all have been sold.
Koenigsegg will mark the 20th anniversary of the original CC8 with the CC850. Powered by the familiar twin-turbo V8, it features a nine-speed automatic gearbox that also has a H-gate six-speed manual mode complete with a clutch pedal. As the name suggests, only 50 examples will be built. Rarer still will be the Hennessey Venom F5 with only 30 examples slated to be built. It has the same 1,817 bhp 'Fury' V8 as the Coupe version, so it should have the capability of shredding asphalt in any gear. Bentley's latest limited production car is the Mulliner Batur, which will have a run of just 18 cars. The two-door coupe combines a 729 bhp version of the trusted W12 with a brand new styling language, which will also be used by future Bentleys production road cars.
German specialist manufacturer RUF used the opportunity to reveal the distinct Bergmeister. Powered by a single-turbo flat-six, the cut-down roadster is inspired by Porsche's iconic hill-climb cars.
Hot on the heels of the Speedster announced last week, Aston Martin also revealed the V12 Vantage Roadster. Available to just 249 lucky customers, it is the drop-top version of the V12 Vantage announced earlier this year.
