Inside the Velocity Tour: Supercars, Backroads, and North...

Re-live an incredible automotive spectacle with Velocity Invitational. The Velocity Invitational is one of the greatest automotive events in the United States. But, like all great events, you’ll have to wait an entire year to enjoy it again. The team at Velocity Invitational found a brilliant way to split up the year with The Velocity Tour, an extremely well thought out expedition through northern California on some of the best driving roads this country has to offer. Our friends at McLaren North American gave us the keys to a menacing Artura and sent us on our way.  Discover Velocity Invitational " width="680"> Arrival Day On the first day we arrived at the Ava Hotel in Paso Robles just in time to check in, get our gift bags, and gather in the lobby for cocktail hour. Following the cocktail hour, we were shuttled to the Sensorio light field, a breathtaking display of lights that takes over the California rolling hills. From there we arrived at the incredible Robert Hall winery where we took a tour of the vineyard and wine cellar and learned about their devotion to sustainability and their exciting work in regenerative organic viticulture. Our education paid off when the wine we learned about was then paired with a delicious private dinner in the dimly-lit cavern. Surrounded by the barrels of wine, we began to connect with the like-minded individuals with whom we would hit the road the following day. Day 1 This was our first day of driving. After a lovely breakfast and a drivers meeting, we met in the parking garage and fired up our cars. The lineup awaiting us in the garage was incredible: there was everything from a 1960 Ferrari 250 California Spyder to a 2025 Czinger 21C Vmax and a 1994 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2. When we started driving, I quickly realized that these were some of the best driving roads I have ever been on. The coastal backroads featured hairpin turns and lengthy straights to really help test the limits of the McLaren Artura. And each stop along the way was strategically picked and perfectly timed. Whether it was stopping for coffee or gathering for a lovely lunch at The Bernardus, the Velocity team didn’t miss a single thing. From the Bernardus we took the backroads to the iconic Laguna Seca Raceway where we did spirited parade laps in all of our cars with the help of Skip Barber’s team. As if this day couldnt get any better we ended our run at the Intercontinental Monterey and got ready for a private dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This dinner was truly spectacular and offered the participants plenty of time to catch up with one another after an extremely exciting day.  Day 2 This was our longest day of driving, but that’s what we were there for. We departed from Monterey to Scotts Valley to get a tour of the state-of-the-art Canepa facility by Bruce Canepa himself. Canepa is home to some of the rarest automobiles in the world, and we could’ve easily spent the whole day shuttling between the museum, sales floor, and restoration shop. After Canepa, we hit the road headed towards the coastline winding through redwood trees as we climbed and descended mountain after mountain. At one point we were following the 250 California Spyder and had a Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster in the rearview which is, in my opinion, as about as close as you can get to time travel. Watching a 300SL roadster rip through the mountains is something I will never forget. The group reconvened for a photoshoot before heading to a quick lunch. We then raced back to our cars to head over the Golden Gate Bridge towards the Lodge at Sonoma. We ended the day at the incredible Ram’s Gate Winery, another amazing facility. Day 3 Our final day was filled with spirited drives and more fun automotive activities. After our morning drive, we met and toured the Keller Estate Collection, which is undeniably one of the most impressive collections on the planet. From there we had our final lunch and parted ways. The Velocity Tour offered the participants an automotive experience that is unmatched by anyone else in the space. Jeff O’Neill and his team were able to give the Velocity Invitational participants access to places most people only ever have the opportunity to read about. I’ve been lucky enough to attend similarly curated events, but this was different. The Velocity Tour brought together the coolest group of people and allowed them to only worry about driving and eating while their team handled the rest. From here on out, I won’t be missing anything else The Velocity Invitational team puts on.

INEOS Grenadier LETECH Trailmaster AGMC Dubai-3

By Khris Bharath –  December 08, 2025

First Portal-Axle INEOS Grenadier Trialmaster LETECH Show...

Besides exotics and supercars, given their popularity, we routinely also list an extensive range of lifted trucks and SUVs for sale here on duPont REGISTRY. Think everything from portal-axle G-Wagens and long-travel 6x6 Broncos to old-school Defenders and more. Yes, boxy off-roaders are back in a big way, and the restomod wave has proved that old school off-road icons never lost relevance; enthusiasts just wanted them updated. The INEOS Grenadier landed perfectly into that space when it hit the scene in 2022, picking up where the original Defender left off. But to really understand why it exists, here’s a quick recap on why the INEOS Grenadier came to be. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a British billionaire, founder and chairman of INEOS, one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies. The man is also a lifelong adventurer known for exploring remote regions, climbing, sailing, and driving across continents. When production of the old Defender was coming to an end in 2016, Sir Ratcliff was looking for a way to keep the 70+ year legacy of one of Britain’s most loved off-roaders alive. However, when that no longer seemed feasible, he decided to come up with his very own hard-wearing 4x4. Carrying a quintessentially British spirit with robust German engineering (you’ll even find a half/half badge with the Union Jack and German flag on the fender), the INEOS Grenadier was developed with key engineering inputs from Magna Steyr in Austria.  They supported critical series development, durability work, and chassis refinement. Full-scale manufacturing now happens in France at INEOS Automotive’s Hambach production facility, formerly the Smart plant. The INEOS Grenadier may look old-school and utilitarian, but beneath the boxy silhouette is a well-thought-out product, engineered from the ground up with modern hardware, ergonomics, and an exhaustive range of factory accessories. A tough-as-nails ladder-frame construction, beam axles, the refined BMW B58 3.0 turbo inline-six that produces 282 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, a proven ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox, Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, mechanical low-range, and physical switchgear. The United Arab Emirates, a nation known for having a rich off-roading culture, is now playing a pivotal role in the brand’s expansion. Albatha Automotive Group: The parent company of AGMC, one of the UAE’s longest-established premium automotive distributors representing prestigious marques like Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, BMW, Mini, and more, is now the official distributor for INEOS Automotive in the country. Their partnership is supported by a new regional headquarters in Dubai and a pop-up showroom in Dubai Design District (D3) from 1 to 14 December 2025. Besides getting a pre-launch sneak peek, I was recently on site at D3 to watch the curtains being drawn for the Trialmaster X LETECH portal axle. Built in collaboration with AGMC and German off-road specialist LETECH (Lennartz Technik), this is the very first example in the Middle East. You start out with a Trialmaster spec (Wagon/Pickup) that is equipped with locking diffs, safari windows, heated leather, privacy glass, and premium audio. The Portal hubs add an axle offset of 150 millimeters (5.9 inches) and increase ground clearance by about 186 millimeters (7.3 inches), which results in a final clearance of 450 millimeters (17.7 inches).  Compared to the standard INEOS Grenadier, we also see beefed-up fender flares to accommodate the bigger tires. Wading depth goes up to 1050 millimeters (41.3 inches). That is more than three and a half feet of water. Approach angle increases to 45.5 degrees, breakover to 43 degrees on the wagon, and departure to 46 degrees. Throw in LETECH hardware, and the vehicle becomes an expedition-ready vehicle: an Aluminum roof rack, winch attachment, running boards, 20-liter (5.3-gallon) fuel canister mounts, rear ladder, and six roof-mounted work lights rated at 9,600 lumens each. I also caught up with Dan Balmer, INEOS Automotive’s Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa. When asked whether INEOS plans to enter endurance-style rally competitions in the future to prove the platform in real-world events. Balmer mentioned that while motorsport is not active today, conversations have taken place internally, and the idea remains on the table, noting that there is potential. He added that the ideal combination would be that of customer participation and a Works team. A couple of rally-focused opportunities could make sense in the future, but nothing is active right now. Our discussion also turned to a question many enthusiasts keep asking: Will we ever see a two-door or short-wheelbase variant? Balmer noted that this has been asked before, but that it remains a niche slice of the market that would represent just about five percent of the volume opportunity. A two-door variant would require significant engineering.  He did mention that they showed off the Shortermaster in 2024, which is a shorter version of their Quartermaster pickup with a smaller bed that also garnered a positive reaction. When asked about the possibility of an open-top version, he noted that it is also not in development, though modularity in the platform leaves room for interesting aftermarket directions.  Next, I asked how INEOS plans to position itself moving forward, whether niche or high-volume. Balmer was candid. "Right now, we are niche, and I think LETECH also supports that niche positioning, because it's important for us to get that credibility. But we need to broaden the audience, as early adopters will only buy your cars for a certain time, and beyond that, we need to grow that volume." Expansion will come through a second model line and new market editions, including more street-friendly variants. Speaking specifically about the LETECH Portal Axle kit, Dan added, “With the portal axles, the vehicle architecture changes completely. You cannot simply bolt a lift kit on. Geometry, software, and differential behavior must be recalibrated. The installed kit is a complete reengineering rather than just a cosmetic lift. Aftermarket lifts exist, but they change geometry. Ours maintains factory engineering values.” Another key question was whether the LETECH portal axle configuration seen in Dubai could eventually make its way stateside. Balmer explained that the kit is engineered for European specification at the moment, and that U.S. adoption would depend on regulatory pathways and aftermarket compliance, but noted that if homologation allows, customer-installed kits could be feasible for North America in the future as well. For a more ground-level perspective, Mo Elarishy, Brand Manager for INEOS Grenadier UAE, said. "The INEOS Grenadier with LETECH portal axles provides the freedom to go off-grid and explore the natural beauty of the UAE." He also noted that demand for adventure vehicles here is growing fast and that capability remains the number one priority for the customer base. Alongside the portal launch, the UAE also receives the full INEOS Grenadier portfolio: Fieldmaster aimed towards comfort, the Trialmaster for capability, the Quartermaster pickup for utility, and the Arcane Works Detour edition. Limited to just 200 examples, this special edition was on display on site and features fine-grain leather, 18-inch Arcane alloys, and a cashmere headliner. Dr. Andreas Schaaf of AlBatha Automotive said, "The Ineos Grenadier is a perfect fit for AGMC and the UAE market. We serve discerning drivers who seek the performance, comfort, and rugged style the Grenadier offers." The standard INEOS Grenadier was already highly capable, but the LETECH portal axle version turns things up to eleven. A familiar shape, modern engineering, and now portal-level capability make it an immensely capable overlanding-style vehicle that is ready to take on the great outdoors.

1000 Miglia Experience, UAE 2025: Opening Day Highlights

If you want to get a taste of where the Gulf region’s collector car world is headed, the 1000 Miglia Experience, UAE; is an event that you want to watch closely. The fourth edition is currently underway (November 30, 2025 - December 4, 2025) in the United Arab Emirates. The energy had been building since the opening day of the rally, held this past weekend in Dubai, on the lawns of the Emirates Golf Course. On display were a spectacular array of participating vintage and classic cars, besides one-offs, several historically significant automobiles and more modern metal. But to understand why this event carries weight, you need to know where it began. The original Mille Miglia is one of the all time great road races, right up there with the likes of the Targa Floria, and La Carrera Pan Americana. The original race ran through northern Italy between 1927 to 1957, leaving Brescia, onto Rome, and a 1,000 mile dash, returning back to Brescia across public roads.  It became a defining test of endurance, engineering, and bravery, attracting both professional drivers and manufacturers who wanted to prove performance outside controlled racetracks. The event was put on hold after 1957 owing to safety concerns. The modern format was revived in 1977 as a regularity rally to preserve that heritage without the risks of unrestricted speed. The UAE edition builds on that legacy and began in 2021, expanding that glorious chapter into a region with a fast evolving collector car scene.  Looking back, one of the most noteworthy moments for the Mille Miglia is the historic run by Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes Benz 300 SLR. Starting at precisely 7:22 am, on May 1st, 1955, the duo managed to cover 1,000 miles in 10 hours and seven minutes, averaging more than 98 miles per hour on open public roads. Remember, this was long before the days of modern safety. Their record is one that stands to this day. Mercedes had a massive presence at the event with SLs and SLRs on display spanning several eras. The showstopper of the event, without a doubt was the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SLR, now valued in the millions. For some context, the 300 SLR Ulhenhaut is the most expensive car to cross the auction block at $142 million. Other noteworthy cars to wear the three-pointed star were Pagodas and several 300 SL Gullwings SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, the extremely rare Mercedes AMG PureSpeed, AMGs from the Hammer-era i.e. 1990s. The Koenigsegg CC prototype made its presence felt, fresh off its win at The Quail in California. There was no shortage of even more machinery from Stuttgart. Think Porsche 356 coupes and Speedsters, air-cooled 911s from several generations. Elsewhere, you had pre-war beauties like a Blower Bentley finished in British racing green and a vintage Bugatti racer. From the 1960s, a bright red Ferrari 275 GTB Shortnose, a C2 Chevy Corvette, a Jaguar E Type, and several classic American muscle cars and pickups. We also saw some 1980s side-strake action in the form of a stunning red pairing:  a Lamborghini Countach sitting alongside a Ferrari Testarossa. It wouldn’t be a classic car show without Alfa Romeos, and BMWs.  The Poonawalla Rolls-Royce lineup from India, made up of all eight generations of the Phantom, a model celebrating its centenary in 2025, made a statement. Supercar Majlis is also present with a curated selection of hypercar royalty, including a McLaren P1. The legendary Dubai Police renowned for their supercar fleet presented a couple of high-performance cars from their active duty, including a Mansory G-Wagen. Staying with Mercedes, there were not one, but two stately S600 Mercedes Pullman limousines, both belonging to the Royal families of Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, respectively. Duccio Lopresto, Managing Director MENA, RM Sotheby's, explained the shift happening within the GCC’s collector ecosystems, while also outlining the scale of the upcoming RM Sotheby’s auction in Abu Dhabi this weekend, at the inaugural Collector Week. With an estimated $80 million to $90 million lineup, Valuations are comparable to Monterey.  Source: 1000 Miglia Experience, UAE As for the rally, the first leg is now moving from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, climbing toward the twists and turns of Jebel Jais. The route continues into the Sultanate of Oman and back to Ras Al Khaimah, then across to the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi, before returning to Dubai. Total race distance is roughly 1,600 kilometers, just shy of 1,000 miles. Watch out for our exclusive coverage of the 1000 Miglia Experience, UAE on Petrolicious soon.

A large crowd gathers on a grassy area by the ocean for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, celebrating 75 years of automotive artistry, with classic cars on display and buildings in the background under a blue sky.

Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance To Celebrate 75 Years Of...

The world’s most prestigious concours readies a milestone celebration with Ferrari, Vignale, and the golden eras of speed, design, and innovation. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, long considered the pinnacle of automotive elegance, will mark its 75th anniversary on August 16, 2026, with a celebration befitting its world-class reputation. The storied event will revisit some of its most iconic gatherings while debuting new classes that highlight the artistry, engineering, and culture of luxury motoring. Ferrari, a name synonymous with performance and prestige, will take center stage as the primary featured marque. In keeping with Pebble Beach tradition, this tribute will include displays of Ferrari’s legendary overall Le Mans winners and NART competition cars, as well as Vignale-bodied masterpieces that represent the golden age of Italian design. Carrozzeria Alfredo Vignale will be honored as the featured coachbuilder, showcasing the sculptural craftsmanship and la dolce vita elegance that defined postwar European luxury. Ferrari’s history at Pebble Beach is as rich as the event itself. The marque first appeared in 1951, when “Gentleman Jim” Kimberly – heir to the Kimberly-Clark Kleenex fortune – entered his 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta in both the Concours and the Pebble Beach Road Races. Though his race ended dramatically after a spin on oil flipped the car, Kimberly emerged unscathed – and earned a kiss from Hollywood star Ginger Rogers. Since then, more than 900 Ferraris have graced the Pebble Beach lawn, and the marque remains a perennial highlight. Complementing the Ferrari celebration, the 2026 Concours will debut new classes showcasing the breadth of automotive history and design excellence. Early American Speedsters (Pre-WWI) will honor minimalist performance pioneers such as the Mercer Raceabout and Stutz Bearcat – machines that defined early American sporting spirit. Classic Streamliners will celebrate the breathtaking aerodynamic designs of the 1930s, when form and function merged into futuristic masterpieces that captured the world’s imagination. The event will also celebrate Pebble Beach Road Racing Greats, honoring the racers and constructors who helped establish the region’s enduring motorsport legacy. From Phil Hill to Carroll Shelby, early Pebble Beach races laid the foundation for American road racing and the creation of the nearby Laguna Seca circuit. Finally, Japanese Motorsports: The Rising Sun at Le Mans will spotlight Japan’s formidable endurance racing legacy. Iconic entries from Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda will recall landmark moments such as Mazda’s 1991 Le Mans victory with the 787B and Toyota’s modern hybrid dominance from 2018-2022 – each symbolizing innovation, resilience, and global excellence. From its first show in 1950 to its upcoming diamond jubilee, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance remains the ultimate showcase of craftsmanship, competition, and luxury lifestyle. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, 2026 promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of the world’s most beautiful automobiles and the people who cherish them.

Wild Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo Marks Gymkhana’s Comeback...

In case you’ve never heard of Hoonigan, Gymkhana, or Travis Pastrana, here’s the short version: imagine Hollywood-level stunt driving, real cars, and zero CGI. They are essentially high-budget stunt reels, think jumping over helicopters, drifting around and through buildings, and threading gaps most drivers would dare to attempt in the real world.   It all started as a side project over a decade ago between late rally driver Ken Block and a small team of engineering geniuses who turned tire smoke into viral content on social media. They redefined how the internet sees car culture and now, after a brief hiatus, Hoonigan is back, and this time, the action finally moves to Australia, the birthplace of the word “hoon”. At the ongoing SEMA 2025 show in Las Vegas, the team unveiled its latest star: the Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo. It’s a modern interpretation of the classic Subaru BRAT (Bi-Drive Recreational All-Terrain Transporter), re-engineered for Pastrana’s upcoming Gymkhana: Aussie Shred film, premiering December 9 on Hoonigan’s YouTube channel.  What you’re looking at is a 670-horsepower, 9,500-RPM (their highest-revving Gymkhana car to date) stunt weapon designed to slide, jump, and survive anything an Australian outback shoot can throw at it. Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer engine built by Vermont SportsCar, Subaru’s longtime rally partner. Power routes through a six-speed sequential gearbox and an all-wheel drive system. The entire chassis and body are custom-engineered from carbon fiber to keep weight down while retaining stiffness. The Brataroo is kitted-out with active aerodynamic panels that move mid-air to control flight angle, and dual adjustable wings for downforce or stunt flexibility. The widebody design by the legendary internet sensation Khyzyl Saleem (The Kyza) gives it a futuristic yet nostalgic look, with a retro livery inspired by the 1970s OG BRAT and even kangaroos flashing Pastrana’s signature thumbs up.  It rolls on a custom set of forged monoblock wheels from KMC Wheels, designed as a modern tribute to the four-spoke style seen on rally cars from the late 1970s. These 18-inch wheels are fitted with Yokohama ADVAN A052 or APEX tires, chosen based on the specific stunt and surface requirements. Inside, the cabin blends vintage details with race tech: a carbon dash, reimagined HVAC knobs for aero control, and even an old-school CB radio.  For fans and first-timers alike, this marks a new chapter for the Hoonigan franchise. It’s also a tribute to Ken Block, whose creative legacy built this empire of smoke and chaos. Whether you know the history or not, one thing’s clear: Aussie Shred is shaping up to be the most explosive Gymkhana yet.

A black classic Ford Mustang with custom modifications, reminiscent of the Ringbrothers' 800-plus horsepower 1969 Mach 1 'KINGPIN' unveiled at the 2025 SEMA, is parked in front of a gray corrugated metal wall.

Ringbrothers Unveils 800-Plus Horsepower 1969 Ford Mustan...

World-renowned custom car builder and parts manufacturer Ringbrothers has revealed its latest masterpiece: the “KINGPIN,” a reimagined 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that expertly blends classic muscle car heritage with cutting-edge technology, high performance, and luxury craftsmanship. Unveiled at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, KINGPIN stands as a testament to Ringbrothers’ commitment to automotive artistry and innovation. This one-of-a-kind Mustang features a modern drivetrain and chassis combined with thousands of hours of handcrafted detail, resulting in a vehicle that surpasses the factory model in both power and design. At the heart of KINGPIN is a Wegner Motorsports 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, supercharged by a Whipple system delivering over 800 horsepower. Power flows through a Bowler Transmissions Carbon Edition six-speed manual gearbox, sending raw energy to the rear wheels. The engine’s roar is amplified by custom-fabricated Ringbrothers headers and a Flowmaster Super 44 Series stainless-steel exhaust system, delivering a soundtrack as thrilling as the car’s performance. Extensive metalwork transformed the Roadster Shop FAST TRACK Stage III chassis back into a unibody structure, while the bodywork has been widened by two inches at the front and 3.5 inches at the rear. The wheelbase is extended by 1.5 inches, complemented by a custom-engineered roll cage for enhanced safety and rigidity. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires wrap around HRE Vintage Series 517 wheels, gripping the asphalt with Fox RS single-adjustable coilovers and independent Roadster Shop FAST TRACK suspension at both ends. Brembo brakes ensure confident stopping power. “The Mustang Mach 1 has always been an aggressive-looking car, and the client was adamant about creating a sinister aesthetic,” said Ringbrothers co-owner Jim Ring. “We asked ourselves, ‘What would the final boss in a John Wick film drive?’ This was the result. Everything was cued off the Mustang’s original design, but we ramped up the drama, sharpened the lines, and added a number of one-off and 3D-printed details to make it truly stand out.” The handcrafted body is cloaked in a custom shade of BASF’s Bootleg Black, contrasted by a unique trim color dubbed Grab-Her Green – a playful nod to Ford’s Grabber Green, tweaked for a darker, villainous undertone. Carbon-fiber components abound, including a one-off rear diffuser, lowered rear quarter panels with custom vents, hood, grille surround, lower front valance, and interior accents. Inside, KINGPIN’s cabin combines luxury and technology with upholstery and trim detailed by 3D-printed and machined brightwork, a Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum climate-control system, Dakota Digital gauges, and a custom Ringbrothers “ENYO” crushed-carbon hoop steering wheel. “Over 5,500 hours went into building KINGPIN and perfecting its aesthetics,” added co-founder Mike Ring. “Every piece of this car has been touched and updated with sharpening the original design cues in mind. We’re grateful for our team of trusted partners like BASF, GENTEX, HRE Wheels, and others for making it all possible.” With KINGPIN, Ringbrothers have once again elevated the art of American muscle car customization – melding heritage, luxury, and breathtaking performance into a machine worthy of modern automotive royalty.

Billion Dollar Lineup: 2025 Las Vegas Concours Becomes Hy...

We’d already covered the record-breaking 60+ Bugatti gathering at the Wynn on Friday, but the fourth annual Concours at Wynn Las Vegas only continued to get even more spectacular as the weekend unfolded. Held from October 30 to November 2 and presented by Richard Mille, the 2025 edition marked the event’s biggest showcase yet, uniting the world’s leading hypercar brands on the manicured greens of the Wynn Golf Club. The names read like an automotive hall of fame: Bentley, Bugatti, Czinger, Gunther Werks, Hennessey, Karma, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Lanzante, McLaren, Pagani, and Rolls-Royce. Each brand brought something rare and headline-worthy. The lineup of cars that showed up over the weekend also included prized pre-war vintage cars and concepts, and according to Forbes, the total value of the 600 cars that gathered over the weekend was estimated to be in excess of $1 billion. McLaren drew early crowds with the public debut of Project: Endurance, its customer Le Mans hypercar built for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship. It’s McLaren’s bold bid to reclaim motorsport’s Triple Crown victories at Monaco, Indy, and Le Mans, something only the brand has ever achieved.

Our cameras were there to capture the action and the moment the covers came off, revealing the longtail Speedster’s sculpted elegance in full sunlight. In what felt like a moment of the automotive and tech world’s colliding, the Italian designer was later seen chatting with Apple CEO Tim Cook and Senior VP Eddy Cue.  This doesn’t come as a surprise, as the tech giant has been becoming increasingly involved in automotive with projects like F1 the Movie, and we’re just a week away from the annual Las Vegas Grand Prix. Also, starting 202,6, every Grand Prix, Sprint, qualifying, and practice session will stream exclusively on Apple TV in the United States. Coming back to the roster of hypercars on display, more than 30 Paganis filled the fairways, forming one of the largest gatherings of the Italian marque ever assembled. You had everything from Zonda S and F examples to Roadster BCs, Imola Roadsters, and multiple Utopias, including a high-mileage Huayra Roadster. By Michael Van Runkle Lanzante, which made its debut at Goodwood earlier this year, presented the 95-59 for the first time in North America. The carbon-bodied, three-seat Le Mans tribute, powered by an 850-horsepower V8, will be limited to just 59 examples. Hennessey showcased the Venom F5 Revolution EVO, delivering 2,031 horsepower and cementing its title as the world’s most powerful pure-combustion hypercar. Koenigsegg impressed with Sadair’s Spear, boasting a power-to-weight ratio beyond 1:1, with Christian and Halldora von Koenigsegg in attendance to celebrate its appearance. Lamborghini commanded attention with several models on display. From Sesto Elemento to Reventons, Veneno, Diablo GT and the one-off GT2, Concept S, LM002, Countach SVJ, Centenario Roadster and Coupe, and a shocking number of gated LP640s. STOs, SVJs, Ultimae, and Murciélagos filled entire rows. It all culminated in its annual Movember Rally.  Czinger displayed the 21C and its wild Bio-Logic chassis, Gunther Werks brought its 1,000-horsepower Project F-26, and Karma Automotive introduced three upcoming models: the 2026 Gyesera Grande Coupé, 2027 Amaris GT, and 2028 Kaveya. Bugatti, as previously mentioned, delivered the headline spectacle, from early 16.4s to Grand Sports and Vitesses, including Arnold Schwarzenegger’s former Grand Sport Vitesse and the rare Centodeici. Multiple Super Sports stood out, with clear cues for the World Record Edition cars, and the Mistral and Chiron Super Sport pairs kept arriving. Bugatti’s design director, Frank Heyl, also attended the event to accompany this record-breaking turnout of Bugattis, in a year where the Veyron is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Former Bugatti designer who penned the Chiron was also present, exhibiting the analog Nilu Hypercar. Elsewhere, you had a road-legal Senna GTR parked near an orange P1 in matte orange on LM-style wheels, two SSC Tuataras, and a RUF CT3R. Not too far away, a Koenigsegg Regera, a Speedtail, and Agera RS twins, Vader and Thor. Ferrari’s side of the field included a red carbon SF90 XX and an F12tdf. Other big names from the restomod world included HWA, Rezvani, and Ringbrothers with the Aston Martin-based Octavia. We’re not done yet, as modern unicorns kept stacking up. An AMG One in Solar Beam Yellow, a full carbon 2005 to 2006 Ford GT, an Aston Martin Valkyrie, a Gumpert Apollo, a McLaren Elva and a McLaren Solus GT, and a McLaren-Mercedes SLR. EV hypercars, including the Lotus Evija and Pininfarina Battista, were also on site. The classics area added a Lagonda, a Jaguar XJ220, a 350 GT, a Diablo SE30, a Toyota 2000GT, a R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R in Bayside Blue, 275 and Daytona open cars, the Oldsmobile Aerotech concept, and a rare US spec F40. Beyond the spectacular display of cars, the Wynn also hosted private dinners, cocktail lounges, and rooftop events, while Broad Arrow Auctions made its Vegas debut with icons like the 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage and 300 SL Roadster. The Tour d’Elegance turned the Strip into a rolling museum of exotics, and SpeedVegas hosted track sessions for those craving seat time.

Media heavyweights Larry Chen, Jonny Lieberman, Magnus Walker, and Sung Kang were also on the ground over the weekend. In just four years, the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has evolved from a regional gathering into a world-class automotive spectacle, solidifying the event as one of the most exclusive stops on the international concours and motoring calendar and one that shouldn’t be missed.

Wynn Concours 2025: Hypercars, World Debuts, And Elevated...

Pagani chose the 2025 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas to make the world debut of a new Huayra dubbed the “Codalunga Speedster.” The newest Pagani stretches nearly every sculptural form on the hypercar’s already dramatically elongated body, enhancing the aerodynamic silhouette in homage to historical racecars of the 1950s and 60s. Finished in a semi-matte ocean spray green and of course, featuring a twin-turbocharged V12 engine beneath the eternal rear decklid and interior artistry highlighted by quintessential exposed shifter linkages, the car drew a swarming crowd of concours attendees as founder and designer Horacio Pagani himself presented his eponymous company’s latest and greatest. By Michael Van Runkle The fact that Pagani even chose the Wynn Concours’ fourth annual show as the time to debut the Codalunga Speedster hints at the marked shift for the event this year, which expanded in breadth and scope to appeal to a wider swath of automotive enthusiasts. And not just with more cars, more debuts from more brands, and elevated amenities—but also with driving opportunities that go beyond the typical park-and-show Concours experiences. “When you think about the Pebble Beach Concours, when you think about Ville d’Este, or you think about Goodwood, we're not here to compete with anyone,” Brian Gullbrants, Wynn’s COO told duPont Registry. “We want to complement the existing automotive industry and automotive culture.” “This year we have over 600 vehicles, so we have over 1.1 billion dollars of quality automotive out on the field,” Gullbrants boasted. “This is the largest collection ever of Paganis at 44, the largest collection of Veyrons, in fact the largest gathering of Bugattis at almost 70 cars. And we have over 230 different Lamborghinis on display. This is in addition to the 130 judged Concours cars in 10 different classes. But mostly, it's a place to just come enjoy the cars and hospitality and have a great time.” By Michael Van Runkle By Michael Van Runkle Along with the new Huayra on Pagani’s stand, the enormous group of Pagani owners parked in long arcs on the Wynn golf course. Bugatti, meanwhile, arrived en masse too in celebration of two decades since the iconic Veyron arguably inaugurated the hypercar era back in 2005. Bugatti President Christophe Piochon flew to Las Vegas for the Concours, and explained why the company sees opportunities such as this as essential to the ownership experience. “When we heard about this event here in Las Vegas, we started to also invite all the customers which we have in our world database,” Piochon admitted. “I have to say it was a bit of a surprise for us. It shows how important the community of Bugatti owners is because they like to come together, they like to show their cars to the people, and it's really awesome that we have all the generation of modern Bugatti present today, from the first Veyrons to the Tourbillon, the Mistral, everything.” “This is 20 years of Veyron,” Piochon added, “And in a large way, you could look at many of the hypercars and supercars here and say, the Veyron influenced all of these…” Taking in the hundreds of Lamborghinis almost felt like an entirely separate event, stretching from multiple Miuras to modern Venenos, Revueltos, Sterratos—even a Cummins-swapped LM002 “Rambo Lambo” on display. But all the classics in the Concours judging class still took center stage, highlighted by pre-war Mercedes-Benzes, one of which is a former Pebble Beach Concours Best in Show Winner, all the way to Rolls-Royces, Packards, and Duesenbergs. The Golden Era of Hollywood made a strong showing, too, including a Jaguar XKSS and Porsche Speedster formerly owned by Steve McQueen and brought to the Wynn by the Petersen Automotive Museum. The Pebble-winning Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer took home the Wynn’s Pre-War Best in Show while a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export won Best in Show Post-War amid the strong field. By Michael Van Runkle By Michael Van Runkle By Michael Van Runkle Of course, motorsport fit into the mix, including a 1988 Porsche 962C owned by Dempsey Motorsport and multiple Red Bull Formula 1 cars from the current era. McLaren showed off the firm’s new Project Endurance prototype, a factory-supported customer racing program that will offer 12 days per year driving in the LDMh class. And a wide range of restomod firms in attendance included Singer, Gunther Werks, Rezvani, and HWA—the latter of which brought the fifth prototype of its 190E 2.5-16 Evo II project, the first to arrive in the United States as proof of concept from AMG cofounder Hans Werner Aufrecht, who himself flew in from Germany to join the festivities. Rolls-Royce also debuted a Phantom Centenary to honor 100 years of the world’s most iconic luxury sedan, which features a gold “Spirit of Ecstasy” along with laser-etched front seat upholstery, a unique Starlight Headliner motif, and the most intricate woodwork ever used for a Rolls-Royce’s door paneling.  But almost more importantly than the spectacular breadth of the cars on display at the Wynn Concours, the weekend also included multiple opportunities for entrants to drive—and for the public to witness these pieces of rolling artwork actually in motion. The usual Wynn Concours parade down the Las Vegas strip boomed out Sunday morning, along part of the F1 Grand Prix track already in preparation for later in November. Horacio Pagani chose a route for Pagani owners out to the Valley of Fire State Park in the desert north of town. And a group of intrepid drivers also tried out supercars on the racetrack at Speed Vegas, always an eye-catching venue on the side of the 15 freeway when driving in from Los Angeles. By Michael Van Runkle Though certain elements of the Wynn Concours reflect commonalities with Pebble Beach, Villa d’Este, as well as other events including Moda Miami, The Bridge, and Amelia Island, the convenience factor of Las Vegas truly helps to make this show something special on the automotive calendar. And the Wynn purposefully hopes to cater to every generation of automotive enthusiast, from the pre-war collector to millennials who love modified “Rad” era cars. Hagerty’s Broad Arrow Auction featured a Veyron, a 300 SL Roadster, and an Aston Martin DB5 among others. And for those attendees who might want to enjoy a few days of revelry in Vegas, plenty of nightlife options can certainly match, or even exceed, the flashy, ornate, and performative nature of the concours cars equally as well.
