Monterey

Monterey Car Week is upon us once more, and the auction cluster that provides a large part of the show at the week-long automotive celebration is shaping as the biggest in history.

The Quail is the stage upon which prestigious marques show their finest wares for the first time and while 2021 saw a bumper crop of new models, this event is more than a hypercar showroom, it is a celebration of automotive excellence spanning all eras.

Bugatti has released its newest hypercar at Monterey. The Divo is significantly slower than the Chiron it's based on, topping out at "just" 236 mph (380 km/h) - but it's so much better in the corners that it's 8 seconds faster around a track. It's also twice as expensive, and already sold out.

BMW has introduced the next-generation Z4 roadster at the run-up to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. The two-seater has been redesigned to have a sportier presence and more technology inside. The unveil began with a limited edition of the Z4.
