McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

The MC20 Icona Tells a Tale of Maserati History You’ve Never Heard About

It’s no accident that you see the spitting image of a Maserati MC12 Stradale in this Maserati MC20. This is precisely the vision that the Maserati Fuoriserie team conceived when creating the MC20 Icona. One of only twenty produced globally, with eight in the United States, the 2025 Maserati MC20 Icona is more than a graphics package. In fact, the Icona is an autobiography of Maserati history encapsulated within a carbon fiber monocoque.The MC12 Stradale is not the first time Maserati has used a blue & white color scheme. In 2004, Maserati returned to auto racing for the first time in 37 years with the MC12 Corsa and Trofeo Light. Abiding by FIA homologation rules for the GT Championship class, they produced 50 road-legal MC12 “Stradale” variants. To celebrate Maserati’s racing heritage, the iconic blue and white livery was chosen as a nod to the American Camoradi Scuderia team. GALLERY-EMBED Camoradi raced a Maserati Tipo 61 “Birdcage” during the 1960 World Sports Car Championship season, winning the 1,000KM Nürburgring race with lead driver Stirling Moss. The Camoradi car was painted in white with a blue nose that gracefully tapered into a single stripe down the center of the body, continuing onto the rear of the vehicle. The Camoradi car successfully led laps in every race of the season, cementing it as the most recognizable “Birdcage”. It's easy to see why Maserati chose the Camoradi colors for the roadgoing MC12 to honor their return to the track. The MC20 Icona’s livery is remarkably similar to the MC12 Stradale, with a large blue split-stripe encompassing the lower portion of the car, arching up around the rear decklid to emulate the blue wing found on the MC12. In a deviation from tradition, the MC20 Icona uses both historic Blu Stradale gloss paint and the modern Bianco Audace Matte body paint. This unmistakable detail clearly distinguishes the Icona from the Stradale, especially as the sun shines on the Bianco Audace paintwork, highlighting a blue flake. Beyond the paintwork, the Maserati Fuoriserie team included many bespoke details. The trident emblem theme echoes throughout the car with the Icona-specific 20” Trident Wheels and Trident air vent on the engine lid. The model designation featured in front of the butterfly doors rests directly above an Italian flag, a nod to the MC12 and a commitment to the celebration of Italian heritage. The painted hood accents mimic the shadow cast by front louver strakes on the hood of the MC12. GALLERY-EMBED The Icona theme continues to the interior, with lightweight racing seats that contrast the full Alcantara interior. Blue seat inserts are adorned with silver lining, a style cue taken from the MC12's dark blue leather interior. A blue stitched Trident and Icona script crowns the black headrest, the only time the “Icona” label is printed on the car. Matte finish carbon fiber surrounds the cockpit touchpoints, found on the steering wheel, paddle shifters, center console, and door sills. The MC20 Icona elegantly surprises the driver with bespoke touches the more time spent around it. The Icona tribute expands on the forgotten racing history of the Maserati Marque, with an homage to arguably their most iconic model. It is worth noting that the Icona has a sister car, the MC20 Leggenda, which sports a revival of the black & mint livery of the MC12 GTI of the Vitaphone racing team. Like the Icona, there are only 20 units of the Leggenda globally. The MC20 Icona and MC12 have shared concours and social media feeds together, but rarely, if ever, have they been reunited with their "Birdcage" history in person. That is until this past July, when the MC20 Icona, shown by Maserati of Seattle, and the Tipo 61 in Camoradi livery presented by Velocity Invitational shared the red carpet at Avants Classics on The Green in Washington State. The MC12 missed the event by 1 year, having been on display in 2025, for what would have truly been a historic moment for Maserati.Available at Maserati of Seattle, this 2025 Maserati MC20 Icona is the perfect addition to a Maserati or historic racing enthusiast’s stable.

Two Manual-Converted Murciélago Roadsters For Sale at Earth MotorCars

For a brief period back in the 2000s, a naturally aspirated V12, all-wheel drive, an open roof, and a metal-gated manual could coexist in one Lamborghini. Two Murciélago Roadsters currently listed by Earth MotorCars recreate that formula from opposite sides of this mid-engine Italian exotic's mid-cycle divide. The first car is the 2005 Murciélago Roadster, finished in Oro Adonis over Blu Vela and shows 7,460 miles. The second is a 2008 Murciélago LP640 Roadster, finished in Bianco Isis, featuring Q-Citura interior trim, with 12,806 miles. Both feature six-speed manual conversions by European Auto Group, replacing their original E-Gear controls with a clutch pedal, conventional lever, and exposed shift gate. The 2005 car represents the first-generation, 6.2-liter Murciélago in its purest form. Its V12 produces 572 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Lamborghini quoted 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed near 199 mph. A gated six-speed was originally standard, while the E-Gear automated manual was an optional extra. The Roadster was more than a roofless coupé, with structural reinforcement, automatic rollover protection, and unique bodywork. Its temporary fabric roof carried a recommended 100-mph speed limit for driving with the top in place. The LP640 marked a substantial evolution of the flagship V12 Lambo styled by Luc Donkervolke. Displacement rose to 6.5 liters, while output climbed to 631 horsepower, and torque rose to 487 pound-feet. Lamborghini also revised the transmission, differential, brakes, suspension, cooling, electronics, and exhaust. The Roadster could now hit 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and roughly 205 mph. Sharper bumpers, larger intakes, revised lighting, a deeper diffuser, and an enormous center-mounted exhaust visually distinguish the second-generation car. Rarity is what underpins the appeal of both cars in this pairing. Lamborghini built 4,099 Murciélagos in total, while Volkswagen's annual figures account for 899 Roadsters. Of those, 435 were produced during 2004-2006 and 464 during 2007-2010, although the latter figure includes the 50 LP650-4 Roadsters. Exact derivative totals for each variant remain disputed among registries. Regardless, genuine factory manuals are scarcer still, and by a wide margin. Our comprehensive guide to factory manuals and aftermarket conversions estimates 25 to 30 manual 6.2-liter Roadsters and 16 manual LP640 Roadsters worldwide. We have also previously spotlighted the rare factory-manual LP640 coupé, the LP670-4 SV, and the LP640 Roadster. While the examples seen here are aftermarket conversions and do not carry factory-manual provenance, they still deliver the same fundamental three-pedal experience along with collector appeal. To give you some context about where values sit at today, the Gen 1 Roadster's duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value has climbed from approximately $210,000 in 2020 to $844,625 in 2026, an increase of $634,625, or 302.2 percent. duPont REGISTRY Garage is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Start tracking your collector car portfolio value today Conventional E-Gear LP640 Roadsters have typically traded in the high-$300,000s to low-$400,000s. Aftermarket manual conversions have historically occupied a lower price tier than factory-gated Murciélago. However, these cars have become a meaningful category within the Murciélago market. Last month, a 2008 LP640 Roadster six-speed conversion sold for $701,000 on Bring a Trailer, representing a significant result and highlighting a growing demand for properly documented conversions. The 2005 offers the original Murciélago's cleaner form and 6.2-liter character, whereas the 2008 counters with greater performance and harder-edged styling. Both embrace an increasingly unrepeatable experience: three pedals, an exposed gate, and the open sky to better savor the full evocative soundtrack from 12 cylinders firing at full chat.

Elferspot Spotlight: Three Porsches That Keep Their Best Details Hidden

Some weeks the three cars line up so neatly you could write the headline before you write the piece. A color story, a Paint to Sample run, a decade. This week refused to cooperate. What came out of the Elferspot listings was a Guards Red air-cooled Turbo, a silver 904 with a competition record most museums would envy, and a black 911 Dakar. On paper, nothing connects them. Spend a few minutes with each one, and the link shows up anyway. Not one of these cars tells you what it is from twenty feet away. The Turbo reads as a nice red 993 until you get into the option codes. The 904 reads as a 904 until you read the entry lists. The Dakar has quietly declined the livery that sells most of them. All three keep the interesting material below the surface, in the paperwork, the build sheet, or the seats, and that is exactly the kind of car worth slowing down for. 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS, Chassis 080 GALLERY-EMBED Chassis 904-080 does not need the usual preamble about why the 904 matters. Gianni Bulgari watched Briggs Cunningham race one at Sebring in early 1964, then bought this car straight from Porsche that spring. Weeks later, he and Maurizio Grana were leading the Targa Florio outright before suspension damage ended the run. Porsche repaired the car at the factory, and in June, Bulgari took it to the old Mugello road circuit and won. There was a win at Vallelunga too, and further podiums, before the car crossed the Atlantic and Sam Posey got hold of it. In February 1966, Posey shared 080 with Jim Haynes and Harry Theodoracopulos for eleventh overall at the Daytona 24 Hours. Racing Sports Cars records period entries at all of it independently, which matters, because history this good is worth checking rather than repeating. The present-day picture is just as interesting. The car has stayed with its current owner since 1988, was inspected by Porsche specialist Jochen Bader in May of this year, and is now European-tax-paid and road registered. It also comes with two engines. A RUF-rebuilt six-cylinder is fitted for use, while the original-style Typ 587/3 four-cam, rebuilt by Dr. Pohl, comes with the car. Be honest about what that means: the four-cam is central to the whole 904 concept, the bonded fiberglass body over a pressed-steel chassis, Porsche's first production car built that way, and the six in the back is a practicality decision rather than a purist one. Some buyers will want it swapped back on day one. Others will drive it exactly as it sits and be glad of it. Porsche records 106 four-cylinder cars, and this is one of the ones with a story attached, so the argument is really about how you plan to use it, not whether it is worth having. View Listing 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo WLS1 GALLERY-EMBED Guards Red on an air-cooled 911 is not news. What sits underneath it here is. This 993 Turbo left the factory in December 1995 with the X50/WLS1 power package, which took the 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six to 430 PS through a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive, and Porsche confirms that increase arrived with the 1996 model year. It was then specified further through Porsche Exclusive: XD7 for the front strut brace, XD9 for body-colored wheel centers, X70 for the stainless steel Exclusive door sills, with codes 09971 and 09981 marking the Exclusive build itself. That is a much more deliberate order than a standard Turbo with a power upgrade bolted to it. The seller states 183 factory X50 cars were built. Worth keeping attributed to them rather than treating as a settled production figure. The documentation does real work rather than just filling a folder. The car was collected at the factory in Stuttgart on December 4, 1995, saw early service at Sportwagen-Center Schmidt + Koch in Bremen, and picked up an Approved Used warranty from Porsche Zentrum Hamburg in 1999. Porsche specialists handled it after that; the stamped booklet is still with the car, and a pre-sale service this year included new Michelin Pilot Sports. It shows 108,000 kilometers, has matching numbers, is accident-free, was supplied new in German-market C00 specification, and the seller describes the paint as original. That last point is the one that carries the price, and it is also the one to look at closely in person, because original paint at this mileage is a claim worth verifying with your own eyes. If it holds up, the appeal is straightforward. Factory WLS1, Exclusive specification, matching numbers and original finish rarely turn up in the same car. View Listing 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar GALLERY-EMBED Most Dakars introduce themselves from the far end of the parking lot. This one does not. Finished in plain Black L041 with the Rallye Design graphics left off, it puts the whole job on the raised ride height, the all-terrain tires and the bodywork, and it works. The mechanical package is unchanged: 480 PS from the 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, eight-speed PDK, all-wheel drive, off-road chassis tuning and Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires, riding 50 millimeters higher than a Carrera on sports suspension, with another 30 available from the lift system. Production stopped at 2,500. Those numbers are useful here mainly because they explain why a black car with no livery still looks nothing like a regular 992. The restraint stops at the door handle. Inside are carbon full buckets with checked fabric centers, the same material in the door inserts, and sill inscriptions reading "In doubt, never lift" and "Are you sure?". Add the carbon roof, Sport Chrono Plus, PDCC, darkened Matrix LED headlights, heated sports steering wheel, surround-view camera, and roof rack preparation. One owner, German delivery, built in November 2023 as a 2024 model year car, first registered that January, accident-free and matching numbers per the listing, with a fresh service from Porsche Heilbronn in August. The catch, if you want to call it one, is the 11,950 kilometers on the clock, which puts it outside the delivery-mileage bracket collectors tend to chase. I would argue that is the point. This is a Dakar that someone has actually used, kept up to date at Porsche, and specified with a sense of humor rather than a spec sheet aimed at resale. View Listing

1-of-20 Maserati MC20 Icona Listed for Sale on duPont REGISTRY

The blue-and-white finish on this MC20 is part of a Maserati racing lineage that stretches back more than 60 years. This 2025 Maserati MC20 Icona, currently offered by Maserati of Seattle on duPont REGISTRY, is one of just 20 examples produced worldwide, with the dealer identifying this particular car as one of eight in North America. Maserati created the Icona to mark 20 years since the MC12 returned the marque to international competition in 2004 following a 37-year absence. Its Bianco Audace Matte and Blu Stradale gloss finish echoes the blue-and-white color scheme that defined the 2004 MC12 Stradale, translating one of Maserati's most recognizable modern liveries onto the carbon-fiber body of the MC20. When Maserati revealed the Icona and Leggenda in June 2024, it limited each edition to just 20 examples, with the Icona referencing the MC12 Stradale and the Leggenda drawing inspiration from the competition-spec MC12 GT1. The tribute goes back considerably deeper than the MC12 into Maserati's earliest racing history. Maserati traces these colors through the Trofeo Light, which competed at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and further back to the Tipo 61 Birdcage of the early 1960s. Built between 1959 and 1961, the Birdcage earned its nickname from an extraordinary spaceframe chassis constructed from roughly 200 small-diameter tubes arranged into a lightweight lattice around the driver and mechanical components. As a result, the Icona's seemingly simple two-tone finish carries a visual lineage stretching back more than six decades. The same colors later became inseparable from the Maserati MC12, the Ferrari Enzo-derived V12 homologation special of which Maserati built just 50 road cars. The MC12 GT1 became one of the defining GT racers of the mid-2000s, collecting manufacturers', teams', and drivers' championships during a career that returned Maserati to the top level of international sports car racing. The road car now sits at the very top of the Maserati collector market, with a 2005 example selling for $9.46 million at Mecum Indy in May 2026, setting a new public auction high for both the MC12 and Maserati as a marque. Beneath the heritage paintwork sits the MC20's 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6, which produces 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the carbon-fiber monocoque helps keep dry weight below 3,306 pounds. Nettuno marked Maserati's return to developing its own engines after more than two decades and employs a pre-chamber combustion system derived from Formula 1 technology. There is another reason the Icona example seen here carries real weight in the collector conversation. Maserati has already moved beyond the MC20 name with the MCPura, unveiled at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. However, the evolution retains the Nettuno V6 and carbon-fiber architecture of the MC20 but introduces revised styling, materials, and personalization under a new name, placing the Icona firmly within the closing phase of the original MC20 story. The aforementioned Nettuno V6 continues to do duty in the MC20, and we had the opportunity to experience it not too long ago in both our 2026 Maserati MC20 Cielo and MCPura Cielo first drive reviews. <- Gallery -> That brings us back to this Icona-liveried car, which is now one of the most meaningful variants from the MC20's relatively brief production run. The window sticker of this particular example reveals how extensively this particular Icona was specified. Carrying nearly $80,000 in factory options, this car includes Bianco Audace matte paint, which on its own was $14,000, lightweight racing seats, 20-inch Trident Wheels Icona, a Premium Sound System, and blue brake calipers. Inside, black Alcantara is paired with Blu Alcantara inserts, grey contrast stitching, and a Blu Trident stitched into the headrests, while Fuoriserie details include the Italian flag badge, Icona-specific trim, and carbon fiber for the instrument cluster cap, paddle shifters, door sills, and engine cover. The livery does more than repaint an MC20 in the colors of the MC12, connecting three distinct eras of the Italian marque's competition history, linking the tubular-frame Birdcage, the V12-powered MC12, and the modern Nettuno-powered supercar, all through one two-tone finish.

The entry-level model, the Grecale, has a starting MSRP of $63,500, while the most expensive model, the MC20 Cielo, has a price of $262,695, and that’s before you include optional equipment. Does Maserati use V8 engines? Unfortunately, Maserati is phasing out its V8-powered cars, with the Ghibli and Levante Trofeo models being the last to sport the Ferrari-derived engine. The pre-owned market features examples of these, however, if you still want to get your hands on a high-performance, glorious-sounding V8-powered Maserati for sale. What is Maserati’s Nettuno engine? Introduced along with the Maserati MC20 supercar, the Nettuno V6 is Maserati’s new high-performance engine. It’s a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 responsible for powering Maserati’s hot-blooded models like the Grecale Trofeo, GranTurismo Modena, GranTurismo Trofeo, GranCabrio Trofeo, and of course, the MC20 and MC20 Cielo. Does Maserati make electric cars? Maserati recently introduced EVs to its lineup for the first time in its history, denoting its electrified lineup with the moniker “Folgore.” Translating from Italian to “lightning,” Maserati’s Folgore lineup consists of the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore and the Maserati Grecale Folgore currently. With excellent driving range and high performance, Maserati says that all of its models will be available as fully-electric vehicles by 2025. Can I finance a Maserati for sale? Yes!

Rare Low-Mileage Single-Seat BAC Mono Available For Sale on duPont REGISTRY

Where most supercars chase outright numbers, the BAC Mono prioritizes something harder to quantify: the sensation of legally driving a formula-style car on public roads. Limited Spec Automotive is offering this 2023 example on duPont REGISTRY, finished in white with exposed-carbon sections, purple and yellow accents, with just 576 miles on the odometer. British marque Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) places the driver on the centerline in a formula-style seating position. The Mono range has evolved for more than a decade since the original arrived in 2011. This example belongs to the new-generation Mono unveiled at Monterey Car Week, distinguished from earlier cars by its cleaner, less visually complicated shark-nose front end and centrally mounted LED headlights. The single-seat layout allows BAC to package the car’s major hardware close to its longitudinal axis, concentrating mass near the centerline and minimizing frontal area. A compartment beneath the nose even provides enough room for a helmet. Sitting behind the cockpit is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 311 horsepower, with a six-speed, motorsport-derived sequential manual transmission sending all power to the rear wheels. Now that might not sound like much, but at approximately 1,257 pounds, the Mono delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 546 horsepower per metric ton. That figure outstrips many comparable supercars carrying two or three times its horsepower, because the Mono simply refuses to carry the weight they do. What you end up with is an enthusiast-friendly analog driving experience that is becoming increasingly uncommon in the modern era, and since this is a roadster, it further adds to the drama. <- Gallery -> Carbon-fiber panels, lightweight wheels, AP Racing brakes, Öhlins dampers, and bespoke Pirelli tires make the Mono a genuine featherweight, essentially packing race-bred hardware for the road. The BAC, in fact, sits in the same rarefied category as the Caterham Seven and KTM X-Bow, but its central driving position and exceptional power-to-weight ratio set it apart. The Mono, in fact, even features on our list of cars built around a central driving position. Every Mono is effectively bespoke, hand-built in Liverpool, England, in tiny annual numbers, with total production numbers just over 150 units worldwide since the Mono launched in 2011. These cars seldom come to market, and this particular example is among just two low-mileage Monos currently listed by Limited Spec Automotive.

Elferspot Spotlight: A Le Mans-Era 904, a Signal Yellow SC Targa and a 230,000 km GT3 RS

Elferspot tends to be at its best when the selection refuses to make a neat argument, and this round is about as broad as the marketplace gets. The Porsche-focused platform pulls collector-grade cars from dealers, specialists and private sellers across Europe and North America, and the three we picked this time sit at wildly different ends of the hobby. One is a seven-figure sports racing car with FIA papers. One is a usable G-Series Targa in a factory color you have probably never seen on one. The third is a modern RS with more miles on it than most family sedans ever see. What ties them together is that each one gets its identity from something other than presentation. The 904 has a competition file and a factory repair history. The SC has a Paint to Sample order sheet. The GT3 RS has fifteen documented dealer services and an odometer that most sellers would rather not talk about. Three cars, three completely different arguments for why a Porsche is worth owning. GALLERY-EMBED This $2.6 million Porsche 904 raced Reims, the Tour de France and Goodwood. Chassis 904-083 is interesting long before the USD 2,600,000 asking price enters the conversation. It went to French Porsche distributor Sonauto in April 1964 and then spent its early years being raced, hard, by Claude Barbier, Valentin Aldy and Cyr Febbraio, turning up at the 12 Hours of Reims, the Rallye des Ardennes and the Tour de France. Animoya Garage in Pontiac, Michigan, now offers the silver Carrera GTS with its FIA Historical Technical Passport and a continuous ownership record backed by period photographs and paperwork. Historic use continued well past the sixties, including outings at the Goodwood Revival and Tour Auto. That competition life is also why 083 is not an untouched early 904, and the listing is upfront about it. After an accident the car went back to the factory, which fitted a replacement chassis and body while retaining the engine, gearbox and running gear. It then took on the later Series 2 updates, and the seller states that only ten cars were converted in period. The fiberglass body was sympathetically restored in the 1990s after decades in Germany. The matching-numbers two-liter four-cam engine and gearbox are still with the car, though a 904/6 specification six-cylinder is currently installed so the car can be driven and competed while the original unit is preserved separately. Worth remembering what the 904 represented: it was Porsche's first production model with a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body and a key step toward the purpose-built mid-engined racers that followed. Buy this one for the history file, not for originality-purist bragging rights. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED Was this the only Porsche 911 SC Targa painted Signal Yellow? Color changes an SC Targa more than it has any right to, especially when the color came from the factory. This 1982 Canadian-delivery car was ordered Paint to Sample in Signal Yellow 1YH over black leatherette, and Scan Automotive in North Vancouver believes it may be the only SC Targa built in that shade. Take that claim as the dealer's read rather than documented fact, but the PTS order itself is the part that matters, and it gives the car an identity the moment you walk up to it. Three owners, matching numbers, 135,200 kilometers, USD 94,000. The order sheet had more on it than the paint. A 930 rear spoiler was specified from new and still comes with the car, although a standard engine lid is fitted at the moment. Silver 15-inch Fuchs, a stainless Targa bar and chrome brightwork give it an odd and rather appealing mix of late G-Series mechanicals with earlier visual cues. Changes since delivery are minor and easy to undo: a Momo Prototipo wheel, a Bluetooth-capable radio, Rest-of-World rear bumperettes. Mechanically, this is the mature SC, the 3.0-liter in its final 204 PS European specification with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, up from 180 PS and then 188 PS earlier in the run. The one thing missing is paperwork. The listing does not publish a detailed service chronology, and at this money you would want to see one. This is a driver's G-Series Targa with an unusual order sheet, not a preservation-grade car, and it is priced and presented accordingly. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED 143,000 Miles in a GT3 RS? Porsche still gave it an approved warranty. Almost every 991 GT3 RS listing opens with how little the car has been used. This Lava Orange example does the opposite and leads with 230,884 kilometers, which is roughly 143,000 miles in a car most owners treat as a weekend appointment. Jurjens Automotive in Meppel, the Netherlands, is asking EUR 129,900. Two owners, accident-free, matching numbers, and here is the part that makes it work: every recorded service was carried out by authorized Porsche dealers, and the car is still covered by Porsche Approved warranty through April 2027. The service file is what turns that odometer reading from alarming into genuinely compelling. Fifteen Porsche dealer visits are listed between January 2016 and May 2025, starting at 10 kilometers and running through 219,991. The specification is serious too, with PCCB ceramic brakes, front-axle lift, rear-axle steering, PASM, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, carbon buckets, the Clubsport Package, Sport Chrono, black PDLS+ LED headlights and a lot of carbon trim, currently on Pirelli P Zero Corsa N2 tires. Underneath it all is the first-generation 991 RS package as Porsche launched it in 2015: naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, 500 PS, seven-speed PDK, magnesium roof, carbon body panels, 918 Spyder-derived buckets, 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h. Be clear-eyed about what high mileage does to resale on a car like this, because the next buyer will price it the same way you are. But if you want an RS to drive rather than store, this is the one in the market that has already proven the concept works. View Listing

The Best Luxury Convertibles For Sale

There’s no doubt that automotive enthusiasts view driving as something more meaningful than simply getting from Point A to Point B. However, there’s nothing quite like the experience of driving a convertible with the top down when it comes to turning a drive into an indulgent experience. Manufacturers throughout the industry have created convertible models over the years, catering to luxury, performance, or often, both. If you’re looking for a luxury or high-performance convertible, duPont REGISTRY is the first place you should look, as the source for supercars since 1985. With a wide inventory of convertible cars for sale, including Rolls-Royce convertibles, BMW convertibles, Mercedes-Benz convertibles for sale, and more.

Currently, brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, and more offer convertibles. However, even more manufacturers sold convertibles in the past that are now on the second-hand market. Is a hard-top or soft-top convertible better? That depends on your driving needs. Hard top convertibles are often chosen for performance-focused enthusiasts who may want to drive their car at a track day. In addition, soft top convertibles were long considered a compromise, not offering the structural rigidity and noise reduction of a coupe, and hard-top convertibles offered a solution by being closer to their coupe counterparts. However, soft-top convertibles offer more compact and quicker folding, added style from different fabric roof options, and have evolved to offer greater structural rigidity, performance capability, and noise insulation than before.
