Monterey Car Week is just wrapping up and boy… IT WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS. We’ve got an entire issue dedicated to everything going on at Monterey Car Week - the news, the videos, the spots, the launches, and more.

Poll Of The Week

Have you ever been to Monterey Car Week?

It's the Mecca of car events. Would love to see how many have attended.

As a follow-up to last weeks poll, we saw 72% of readers say they are not fans of EV supercars and sports cars. Based upon what we’re seeing at Monterey, EV supercars aren’t stopping anytime soon.

The Headlines

2025 Ford Mustang GTD revealed as a $300,000 race car for the road

This is probably the most talked about car launch from Monterey this year. It’s a true track car that’s squarely aimed at the likes of the Porsche GT3. Nearly the entire car is made of carbon fiber and it has a DRS system often found in Formula One. The GTD has been kept top secret since 2021 and is on the same level as the Ford GT.

This Burnt-Out Crumpled Ferrari Mondial 500 Sold For $1.8 Million

For the price of almost 100 used BMW 3 series, you can get… a burnt up Ferrari. So what gives? It’s a historic car, the Mondial 500. The goal of the new buyer is to restore it and hopefully use it as a ticket to get to the Mille Miglia.

Lamborghini Lanzador EV Concept Debuts With 1,341 HP, Previews First Electric Bull

This is a huge deal - the first all electric Lamborghini has been revealed. It’s closer to the URUS and an SUV, than it is the Revuelto or Huracan successor. It will rock a MEGAWATT battery and push over 1,300 horsepower. This should give it a good boost to challenge the Model X Plaid as fastest SUV in the world. It won’t arrive until 2028 though ☹️

Cars Worth Buying

Every week we share a few sports cars and exotic cars that we think are great to own and also priced really well. If we could, we’d go and buy all of them…

2020 McLaren GT Coupe RWD - $166,990

These are starting to come down in price very nicely. It would be fantastic to get this closer to $150k.
