Last year, while out at Monterey Car Week, we caught these three incredible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesses outside the Quail Lodge. Because having 250mph wind in your hair is fun!

Everyone who attended to 2014 New York International Auto Show was treated to a very special surprise in the form of this stunning Koenigsegg Agera R. Koenigsegg is a Swedish supercar manufacturer that ranks among the top tier of the automotive elite, building just a few cars per year, each with seven figure price tags.
The Agera R is one of Koenigsegg’s most astounding creations, and until the recent unveiling of their One:1 Megacar, the Agera R was the marquee’s flagship. With 1140bhp available while running on E85, the Agera R has performance that will embarrass a Bugatti Veyron. In fact, the Agera R still holds the world record for 0-300km/h and 0-300-0km/h at 14.53 sec and 21.19 sec respectively. Top speed is a theoretical 273mph, but has yet to be verified.
This is one of those hyper-exotics that will make a Ferrari Enzo or Porsche Carrera GT seem tame. Even the new hybrid hypercars will only hang on to the Agera R for so long before falling back. It was truly a sight to be seen, and it stunned the crowds of people at NYIAS. In fact, most people had no idea what it was. I must’ve heard, “Wow, is that a Ferrari?” uttered about 50 times during the 20 minutes I spent looking at the car. A Koenigsegg is an exotic among exotics.
Enjoy the pics!
A reader submission from my friend, Zach. He caught this McLaren 12C roaming the streets of NYC, and sent it over to me. Nice spot!

We found this demonic Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 Edition running around Carmel, CA during Monterey Car Week last summer. It came as a nice cap for our week of incredible car spotting, and is definitely the choice color combo for the SLR 722.
We look forward to more fun like this in August because we will be heading back to Monterey Car Week for the 2014 festivities. The excitement is starting to build!
Enjoy the photos of this SLR 722, there should be plenty more where this came from!

We showed you the American hypercars last week, but there were many more awesome cars present at the CF Charities Supercar Show as well. Everything from a Bugatti Veyron to an Ultima GTR to a full-on dragster, the crowds were stunned repeatedly.
Enjoy the highlight gallery of this fantastic show!

We went to the CF Charities Supercar Show this past weekend, and there was some serious American metal there. Not muscle cars, as you might expect, but an array of hyper-exotic supercars from US manufacturers, oh, and of course an imposing Black Hawk helicopter courtesy of the US Army. It was a very exciting event with eye candy in many forms, fast cars, deadly aircraft, and beautiful women — our founding fathers would be so proud!

Here are the exotic cars from the 2014 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance. There was quite a spectacular display of some very rare supercars and hypercars on display this year, everything from the $1.9 million Pagani Huayra you see above, to a Ferrari Enzo, to the world-speed-record-setting Hennessey Venom GT, to Jim Glickenhaus’ P4/5 Competizione. It was surely a sight to be seen.
The Pagani Huayra really stood out, though. It spent both days of the show tucked away in the corner of Miller Motorcars’ display tent, but it was completely swamped with people the entire time. When it left the field, people literally lost their minds, jumping around in a reckless frenzy to try and snag the perfect shot of it.
Is easy to see why people go completely nuts over the Huayra when after a decade of grueling depravation for American car enthusiasts, it is the first Pagani to finally make it stateside. But the Huayra is also an exceptionally magnificent object, even by seven-figure supercar standards. Every aspect of the car seems so “full,” right down to the finest detail — nothing has been overlooked or under-thought.

Drive has posted their NBC special on YouTube, so we figured we’d share it for everyone who hasn’t seen it. It originally aired on NBC as part of the coverage for the Monaco Grand Prix. Big props to everyone at Drive for getting that gig, and doing a phenomenal job with making us all learn, laugh, and drool. Chris Harris, Mike Spinelli and Matt Farah make a great trio, could Drive be the Top Gear of tomorrow?

We were up in Greenwich, CT this weekend for their annual Concours d’Elegance. There were incredible cars running around everywhere, both in the show and on the streets, so we have a lot of material coming for you soon. For today, here is an always-stunning Lamborghini Countach that we saw out and about to wet your appetite. There’s a Ferrari in there too, somewhere.

There were many nice supercars at Ladies and Lamborghinis in Clinton, NJ, however, this gem, a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona stood out. Thought by many to be one of the most beautiful Ferrari road cars of all time, the Daytona’s curved stature will turn heads in any sort of company.
The 365 GTB/4 succeeded the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 as Ferrari’s flagship V12 GT model in the late 1960s. It was then replaced by the 365 GT4 BB in 1973, which drastically changed form into a mid-engined supercar in order to rival the likes of Lamborghini’s Miura. The 365 GTB/4 was the last traditional two seat Ferrari GT car for two decades, until the 550 Maranello came out in 1996. Small wonder why it remained extremely sought after over the years.
Enjoy the photos!
We caught this vibrant orange Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 at the recent cruise night in Hopewell, NJ. The 6.0 was the last hurrah for the Diablo, and the first refinement of a Lamborghini model by Audi. Its V12 produced a robust 550hp, before the era where horsepower figures went nuts, and as the license plate says, it could scrape the 207mph mark flat-out.
This Diablo was kind of the show for a short time, until the Saleen S7 showed up and stole its thunder. It’s always great to see any of the crazy V12 Lambos with the scissor doors, though. The theatre of the original Countach lives on with an un-dulled effect to this very day. Enjoy the photos.

This event was a bit of a last minute thing for us. I was beginning to feel the 2 o’clock drowsiness in the office when I got a text from Al informing me of an event called Ladies and Lamborghinis going on that night in Clinton, NJ. It was like a shot of espresso for me, and I couldn’t wait to get up there for the festivities.
This was the inaugural Ladies and Lamborghinis event, and it was basically similar to other cruise night events hosted by towns that we’ve been to. Ironically, only one Lamborghini showed up — they should’ve called it Foxes and Ferraris instead.
There was a very nice crop of cars, though, including a very enticing classic Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, and two Porsche 911 RS models. For an inaugural event, it was quite good, so hopefully they will get the word out more next time and build the attendance rate further because Clinton, NJ is a great venue.
Until then, enjoy our photo gallery from Ladies an Lamborghinis!
