Shelby SuperCars Tuatara at Pebble Beach

[/caption] Shelby SuperCars debuted their new Tuatara on the Concept Lawn at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. If you’re like us and have been taken aback by the vehicle’s design while browsing photos in the past, seeing this car in person gives a whole new perspective. This new hypercar appears well balanced, well-built and whose design fits in nicely with the hypercars of today – even the rear spoiler-wings are easily accepted when viewed in person.

Zagato Ferrari 250 GTZ LWB Tour de France

An endurance racing version will compete in next month’s Nürburgring 24 hour event. Which is more compeling – the V12 or James Glickenhaus’ P4/5 Competizione?
