[/caption] Following last year’s highly successful auction of Ford concept vehicles by RM, the two companies have teamed up again to bring a pair of Ford’s ideas from the past to the block next weekend in Monterey. The more exciting of the two cars is most certainly the Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept built to pay homage to the legendary Daytona Coupe and its 40th anniversary. Not only is it still a sexy design, but was fittingly debuted at Pebble Beach back in 2004. This is the fiberglass design shell featuring the 12-spoke 19″ wheels, but…
[/caption] Wherever there is a prestigious enough concours d’elegance there is an equally stellar round of auctions nearby. Our jaws often drop and salivate at any number of vehicles throughout the year, but just like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance itself, there’s just nothing like the lots that show up in Monterey. Gooding and Company is bringing 15 Ferraris to the stage this year, 5 of which are coach-built award-winning examples. These 5 most notable vehicles are – 1957 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Series II Coupe (Pinin Farina’s 1957 Paris Auto Show Car) 1953…
[/caption] Villa d’Este is handily right up there with Pebble Beach as one of the most prestigious concours d’elegance events in the world. The automobiles seen each year never cease to amaze, and that includes those in attendance to cross the auction block. This year’s RM auction saw a hand-picked lot of 32 cars which commanded nearly $34 million! The highest bid came for a gorgeous 1955 Ferrari 375 MM Berlinetta (pictured above) at just shy of $4.5 million. The last of just 10 375 MM Berlinettas built, this one-off was specifically designed by…
[/caption] Legendary design house Bertone has seen better times. With the closing of their museum, something had to be done with all the priceless famous concepts developed by the company over the years. Six of these ‘rolling works of art’ will be offered up for public sale for the first time ever at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Italy on May 21, 2011. Thirty vehicles will cross the block at this year’s RM event, the company’s first at Villa d’Este. Though not exclusive to one manufacturer, the Italian design houses have had…
[/caption] RM has set a new bar for the weekend surrounding the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Following Gooding & Company’s auction on Friday, RM not only claimed the sales crown for the weekend, but managed to pull in the highest grossing tally in the event’s 13 year history. “We are thrilled by the results from the weekend’s sale, which represent RM’s best performance to date at Amelia Island. The buyer population appears to be more well-informed than ever, recognizing quality when they see it. In addition, many examples at our Amelia…

[/caption] So, it’s that time again. Porsche has unveiled the all-new 911 and is sending it to Frankfurt for its first appearance in a couple weeks. Codenamed the 991, the new model is 3.9″ longer, sits a bit wider, and has dropped 100 pounds. Both the base Carrera and the Carrera S produce more horsepower (350 and 400) yet consume less fuel than their outgoing counterparts. The interior has also been shifted to be more in line with that of the Panamera. With 48 years of what occurs like the most minimal design evolution…
