Yahoo Autos All the multimillion-dollar supercars and concept cars at Pebble Beach
Monterey Car Week, and in particular, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance that is at its core, has always been an event for rare, finely crafted automobiles and the wealthy people that accompany them. It has mainly been for vintage cars, but that's changing. Automakers are more frequently coming to Monterey to show new high-end models — to clientele with the means to buy them.
There are often plenty of reveals, but this year in particular has seen a deluge of amazing supercars and EV concept cars — though somehow even a Kia snuck under the rope line. The number of debuts has exceeded that of most traditional new car shows, and it's likely a result of the smaller number of shows in the wake of the pandemic. In particular, the Geneva Motor Show, which has been the prime event for supercar builders, hasn't been hosted, leaving Pebble Beach as a prime option for reaching monied customers.
With so many reveals, we wanted to provide a little guide for finding everything. So come along to see the millions of dollars of fine motorized machinery.
Acura Precision EV Concept and ZDX Announcement
One of multiple manufacturers showcasing the future of their brands is Acura. The Precision EV Concept, which borrows a previous concept's name, is a preview of Acura's first electric SUVs. The first of which will be named the ZDX, which will have styling similar to the Precision. We also know that it will be based on a GM Ultium electric car platform, likely the same one that underpins the Chevy Blazer EV and the upcoming Honda Prologue. It will launch in 2024 and will have a performance-oriented Type S trim available.
Aston Martin DBR22
Limited-production models with custom bodies and historical connections are a staple of Pebble Beach reveals, and the Aston Martin DBR22 is a textbook example. It's a two-seat speedster with a custom carbon fiber body made to look like the company's 1950s Le Mans race cars. It's powered by Aston's twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 making 705 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. It will hit a top speed of 198 mph, go to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and only 30 of them will be built.
Bugatti Mistral
The quad-turbo W16 engines from Bugatti have reached the end of the line, and the Mistral gets the last of them. Each one makes 1,600 horsepower and will have a top speed of around 261 mph. Only 99 will be built and each costs about $5 million. Bugatti has already sold all of them.
Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster
Hennessey recently launched its Venom F5 Coupe, and it's following up with a removable roof version. It has the same twin-turbo V8 making 1,817 horsepower and has the same target of a 300-mph top speed. It gets a new glass engine cover and wheels to further distinguish it. Thirty examples will be built at $3 million a piece.
Koenigsegg CC850
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of its first production car, the CC8S, and the 50th birthday of its founder, is the Koenigsegg CC850. It's designed to look like an updated version of that original car with phone-dial wheels and a removable roof, but it takes its technology from the much newer Jesko. It has a version of that car's twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 which makes 1,185 horsepower and 1,022 pound-feet of torque. It also has a wild gated manual transmission that's also an automatic. Koenigsegg is building 50 of them, and they'll likely sell out quickly.
