Like every year, the days around August bank holiday are those of Monterey Car Week . The event, scheduled to take place in California from 9 to 18 August, brings together the most luxurious cars on the planet to animate its many events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance ; exclusive rallies such as The Quail , A Motorsports Gathering; vintage racing at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and high-profile car auctions such as RM Sotheby 's. So it is that these days the small town of Monterey, close to the Pebble Beach golf course, plays host to some of the world's richest people (and their incredible cars), while the manufacturers increasingly take advantage of an event like this to unveil exceptional new cars.
No surprise, then, if Lamborghini unveils the successor to the Huracan, and it will not be alone. The star cars The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2024 The events of Monterey Car Week 2024 Leading Cars BMW BMW will use Monterey Car Week to promote the US launch of the M5 . Ahead of the commercial debut, the German manufacturer has prepared a one-off, the M5 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance #1/1 , which will be auctioned on 18 August.
The Californian show will also set the stage for the world debut of the new BMW M5 Touring . La BMW M5 per Pebble Beach 2024 Eccentric Cars In addition to cars from the most established manufacturers, Monterey will also feature special models such as the Eccentrica Diablo , a restomod that takes elements from the various Diablo editions produced between 1990 and 2001, developed by start-up Eccentrica Cars. Eccentric Lamborghini Diablo Restomod Hispano Suiza The Hispano Suiza Carmen Sagrera was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July and now, in August, it will be on display before the public at The Quail, the 200-model limited show held at the golf club of the same name, where Maserati will also be present.
Also on display will be the Hispano Suiza Xenia Dubonnet from 1938. Lamborghini The name of the successor to the Lamborghini Huracan is still a mystery (although there is talk of ' Temerario '), but we can already expect that under the bonnet there will be a plug-in powertrain based on a new 4-litre twin-turbo V8, with power that could reach over 900 PS as well as the ability to move in the silence of electric power.

com Maserati On the same day, 16 August, Maserati will present its super sports car. It should be the most extreme road version of the MC20 . More powerful and lighter, it will represent 'the state of the art in Maserati performance', the company anticipated, and will bring 'innovative technological solutions and impressive aerodynamic performance' to the road.
Pininfarina Also at Monterey Car Week 2024 will be Pininfarina, which will present a one-off, probably based on the Battista hypercar, previewed by a teaser and a promise to perfectly embody Automobili Pininfarina's motto 'Dream Cars, Made Real'. Rimac There is no official information, but according to a Rimac source at Auto Express , the brand might unveil something new on 12 August . It could be an even more extreme Nevera , but to be sure, we have to wait.
Rimac Nevera Time Attack The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2024 This year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be held on 18 August . The full list of competing cars is very long, we are talking about more than 150 models. Of particular note in the Wedge-Shaped Concept and Prototypes Class is the Honda HP-X , the Japanese manufacturer's first modern concept car designed by Pininfarina and first presented at the 1984 Turin Motor Show.
Today, 40 years later, it has been completely restored and will be the first Japanese car to participate in the American event. The 2023 edition of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, we recall, was won by the Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster from 1937 belonging to the Patterson Collection of Louisville, Kentucky (USA).
