If it’s Friday during Car Week, then it’s The Quail in Carmel Valley, period. Sports Car Digest is always honored to be a part of the most opulent Concours on the Monterey Peninsula and will attempt to transport you there via text and images…not an easy task! From its early days of a relatively small car gathering accompanied by Christie’s auction to its current incarnation, including numerous manufacture debuts, the Quail has certainly woven a lot of business into its fabric while keeping it luxurious and fun.
This year’s Quail showcased cutting-edge automotive technology and design, featuring 21 vehicle debuts and demonstrations from top manufacturers and designers. Among the global unveilings were the Lamborghini Temerario, Maserati GT2 Stradale, Rimac Nevera R, Cadillac Opulent Velocity Concept, Acura Performance EV Concept, Integra Type S HRC Prototype, and the Hennessey F5 Stealth Series. Other highlights included the Rolls-Royce Phantom Scintilla, Automobili Pininfarina B95 Gotham and Battista Targamerica, Pagani Utopia Roadster, Porsche Sonderwunsch 993 Speedster, RUF Rodeo, GuntherWerks GWR, Touring Superleggera Veloce12, Karma Automotive Ivara, Meyers Manx 3-Cylinder Radial Engine, and the KALMAR Automotive 9×9. The Bugatti Tourbillion and Gordon Murray T.50s Niki Lauda and T.33 Spider also made their North American debuts at the show.
