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.

Elferspot Spotlight: GT2 RS, IROC RSR and Sport Classic

This week's first highlight from Elferspot is a 700-hp GT2 RS ordered in a Lamborghini color, then finished with an almost obsessive amount of matching detail inside. The second is a 1974 IROC RSR that won both races it ever started in the series, first with George Follmer and then with Mark Donohue, before Al Holbert took it on to win again. And the third is a 992 Sport Classic in Paint to Sample Auratium Green, which might be the most interesting way we've seen anyone spec Porsche's rear-drive, manual, twin-turbo oddity. As always, we've kept the history to what matters for each car. This week's trio: three definitions of special, told through paint, provenance and the option list. 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS in Azzurro Thetys Metallic GALLERY-EMBED Azzurro Thetys Metallic comes from Lamborghini's palette, not Porsche's, and that alone sets this GT2 RS apart from the many low-mileage examples already tucked away in collections. It's a Paint to Sample car with 1,783 miles, and the first owner clearly didn't stop at the paint. The Weissach Package magnesium wheels have their outer rims finished in the body color. The same blue turns up again on the air-vent slats and even the key fob. Black leather and Alcantara are stitched in Platinum Grey across the seats, steering wheel, dash and door panels, with yellow picking out the headrest embroidery, the steering-wheel marker and the lightweight door pulls. The illuminated door sills carry the 6:47.3 Nürburgring lap time, in case anyone forgets what this car was built to do. Underneath all that detail is the familiar recipe: a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six making 700 hp, a seven-speed PDK and rear-wheel drive, with the listing describing the drivetrain as matching numbers. Front-axle lift, BOSE Surround Sound and the Light Design Package take a little of the edge off daily use, and the nose is protected with PPF. Here's the honest bit. A low-mileage GT2 RS isn't hard to find anymore, and plenty of them have covered fewer miles than this one. What you won't easily find is one where the color runs through the whole car instead of stopping at the bodywork. Azzurro Thetys on a 911 is a bold call and won't be for everyone, but nobody is mistaking this one for another GT2 RS. View Listing 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 IROC, chassis 0124 GALLERY-EMBED Roger Penske's first International Race of Champions put twelve of the world's best drivers into identical Porsches, told apart only by their colors so the crowd and the TV audience could follow along. Porsche built fifteen RSRs for it: twelve to race and three spares. Chassis 9114600124, the black car, started out as one of those spares. Damage from the opening race at Riverside put it on the grid for Race Two, where George Follmer started ninth and won. The next day Mark Donohue took it from pole and won again. Two starts, two wins, which is why you'll often hear 0124 called the most successful IROC RSR of the lot. Al Holbert bought it after the Daytona finale and raced it through 1974, winning at Road Atlanta, Lime Rock and Mid-Ohio and finishing second overall at Daytona later that year. Then a testing accident in December did serious damage. Holbert moved the usable mechanical parts into another shell for his 1975 season, and what was left of 0124 went into storage for decades. That last part matters, so it's worth being clear about. In 2008 a German collector bought the remains along with the documentation and the rights to the serial number, and used them as the basis for a full restoration. What's on offer is a car rebuilt from damaged original remains, not a preserved survivor, and the parts Holbert salvaged went elsewhere. The seller says there are no competing claims to the 0124 identity, and it's that unbroken thread of chassis, serial number and paperwork that lets you follow the story at all. Recently serviced by Retro Sport in Richmond, California, it wears new Michelin TB15s and is described as fully streetable, with a 330-hp 3.0-liter flat-six and a manual gearbox. An onboard fire system is already fitted if you'd rather take it back where it belongs. There's a video on this one, too, and it's worth a few minutes. View Listing 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic in Auratium Green GALLERY-EMBED The 992 Sport Classic is one of the stranger things Porsche has built lately, and we mean that as a compliment. It borrows the Turbo's wide body and 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six, sends 550 PS (about 543 hp) only to the rear wheels, and makes you shift it yourself through a seven-speed manual. Just 1,250 were built. PCCB, rear-axle steering, PDCC and Sport Chrono all came standard, and the fixed ducktail points straight back at the Carrera RS 2.7. Most of them wear Sport Grey with the double stripes, which is a big part of the appeal. It's also why so many of them look alike. This one went another way. Paint to Sample Auratium Green sits over the Heritage Design Classic Black interior with Pepita seat centers, and since Porsche didn't offer the double stripes with PTS paint, number 21 side graphics do some of that period work instead. We'll admit the combination works better than we expected. The green leans vintage without sliding into costume. The first owner also ticked a long list of comfort and tech boxes, from Burmester High-End Surround Sound and Night Vision Assist to Exclusive Design taillights, lightweight noise-insulated glass and Power Steering Plus, with leather carried onto the trim inlays and inner door sills. It has 3,028 miles and full-body PPF. At USD 719,990 you're paying well beyond the original sticker, and some of that premium is the color. If the usual grey Sport Classic leaves you a little cold, though, this is the one to look at. View Listing

Rolls-Royce Phantom: Own The Quintessential Luxury Sedan

The Rolls-Royce Phantom, a true epitome of luxury and craftsmanship, personifies opulence and prestige like none other in the world of automobiles. It is much more than a car - it's a statement of grandeur, an embodiment of supreme elegance, a handcrafted marvel that takes bespoke automobile manufacturing to unparalleled heights. The Phantom’s exterior aesthetics blend classic design with futuristic elements. Features like the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, floating center caps in the wheels, coach-style doors, and classic Rolls-Royce grille make the Phantom an unmistakably elegant machine. Inside the Phantom, the comfort is unrivaled. Sumptuous leather upholstery, hand-polished wood veneers, and lambswool floor mats create a cabin that is a cocoon of extravagance. The sheer quietness and the Magic Carpet Ride air suspension provide a driving experience akin to gliding on a cloud. What truly sets the Phantom apart, though, is its customizability. Rolls-Royce's Bespoke program lets owners tailor their Phantoms to mirror their persona. Whether it's personalized treadplates, unique embroidery on the upholstery, or an exclusive paint job, the limits lie within your imagination. The 'Gallery', a space behind the glass on the dashboard, is another canvas for owners to express their tastes via commissioned artwork. Because of all of these features and more, it's no secret that the Rolls-Royce Phantom can be quite the expensive car, and even at the high level it's at, there are quite a few variances in how much one can cost.

The Phantom is powered by a 6.75L V12 engine, producing 563 horsepower, enabling a silky smooth yet robust performance. How much does a Phantom cost? Because of the level of bespoke configuration and various options available, as well as the exclusivity of the Phantom, it can range widely in price, for new examples starting above $400,000 and going up from there. The second-hand market, with customization and varying ages and mileage, can vary even greater in both directions. Is the Phantom available in different variants? Yes, it is available in standard and extended wheelbase versions, with the latter providing additional rear cabin space, and room for even more opulent features than the standard version. How many Phantoms are made each year? The production number varies but is limited due to the intricate, time-consuming process of hand-building each car. Within its range, however, the number is drastically low compared to the rest of the automotive industry as building any Rolls-Royce Phantom is much more involved than building the average car.

2023 BAC Mono Roadster Listed For Sale

Some sports cars are engineered to deliver race-derived performance while still looking and feeling like something you could drive every day. BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) takes a different approach, building its flagship Mono around the idea of a road-legal race car, right down to its single-seat, open-wheel layout. And while crossing paths with one in the wild is rare in itself, finding a completed build on the market is next to impossible. The team at Limited Spec of Miami, FL, is proud to showcase this 2023 BAC Mono Roadster as part of its extensive inventory of exotics for sale on duPont REGISTRY. From the outside, the Mono is definitely unmistakable. This example is finished in white and red with exposed matte carbon fiber aero, with the bodywork wrapped tightly around the car’s mechanics. The open front end exposes the suspension, while the compact body and single-seat layout give it the proportions of something built for a circuit. This particular Mono Roadster has also covered just 835 miles.The same idea carries into the cockpit, where there really isn’t much beyond what the driver needs. The single seat sits in the center of the car, surrounded by carbon fiber and a compact arrangement of controls and displays. There’s no passenger seat, center console, or unnecessary trim taking up space, which is pretty much the point. Everything is positioned around the person behind the wheel, giving the Mono a cockpit that feels much closer to a race car than any daily driver on the road.Power comes from a naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder engine mounted behind the driver. It produces around 315 horsepower and sends that power to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. BAC also uses a dry-sump lubrication system and individual throttle bodies, while the car's low weight is arguably just as important as its power output. At roughly 1,257 pounds, the Mono doesn't need a huge engine to move quickly.That combination puts the 2023 BAC Mono in a fairly unusual place among the modern performance car market. It can reach 60 mph in around 2.7 seconds, but its appeal isn't really about chasing the biggest horsepower figure. The low weight, central driving position, open cockpit, and relatively simple mechanical layout are what separate it from most of the cars you'll find in the supercar section of the classifieds. And with less than a thousand miles on this example, the Mono currently listed on duPont REGISTRY has spent considerably more time sitting still than most likely ever will. View Price & Listing

The Best Green On Tan Cars For Sale

Cars have been around for well over a century, and in that time, they have made themselves an important part of history and have earned a history of their own. Many aspects of cars, whether it be powertrains, performance, transmission, style, or otherwise, have attained special meaning and forged legacies in the automotive world, whether it be the rear-mounted engine of the Porsche 911, the red color of many Ferraris, or the V12 engine of Pagani's hypercars. However, there is a color combination with timeless style, worldwide appeal, and a rich history: green on tan. Tracing its roots to the traditional color of British racing, green paintwork and tan, beige, or brown leather remain an iconic and beautiful combination. Whether it's the traditional dark British Racing Green, or brighter shades like Lamborghini's Verde Mantis, or even Porsche's Aventurine Green, green and tan is a no-brainer when it comes to creating a beautiful car. If you're missing one of the automotive world's most iconic color combinations, the time is now to get your hands on a green-on-tan car. duPont REGISTRY has been the source for supercars since 1985, and it's certainly the place to find a stunning green-on-tan car for sale.

1-of-249: Shelby Series 1 With Only 334 Miles Listed for Sale

Recently, Carroll Shelby's former Daytona Coupe became the most expensive American automobile ever sold at auction, selling for a staggering $42.9 million. Only six were built, putting an original well beyond the reach of most collectors, even as replicas offer a more accessible interpretation of the legend. The Series 1 occupies a different corner of the Shelby story. Built decades later, it is rare and significant in its own right, with just 249 original production cars, yet remains a considerably more attainable way to own a low-production sports car conceived by Shelby himself. This 1999 Shelby Series 1, currently listed on duPont REGISTRY by John Scotti Automotive LTEE, represents something particularly unusual for Carroll Shelby. Unlike the AC Ace-based Cobra or Mustang-based GT350, the Series 1 was developed from a clean sheet and remains the only production car designed and engineered by Shelby from the ground up. <- Gallery -> This example, chassis CSX 5140, makes that connection to Shelby tradition immediately apparent, finished in the classic combination of silver with blue racing stripes running from nose to tail. Five-spoke wheels with polished outer rims fill the arches, while a polished fuel filler cap provides another period detail out back. Inside, Carroll Shelby's signature appears prominently on the seats, while the odometer reading of just 334 miles makes this roadster something of a time capsule. The car’s underlying philosophy is remarkably simple: a big engine up front, a tight two-seat cockpit in the middle, rear-wheel drive, and three pedals with a stick. There is something distinctly American about that formula, borrowing the straightforward appeal of American muscle while wrapping it in the proportions and construction of an exotic sports car. An extruded-aluminum chassis sits beneath carbon-fiber and fiberglass body panels, helping keep weight at roughly 3,000 pounds. The choice of engine was every bit as unusual. Instead of Ford power, Shelby turned to GM and chose the 4.0-liter L47 Aurora V8, which produces 320 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque, paired with a rear-mounted ZF six-speed manual transaxle. Zero to 60 miles per hour takes roughly 4.4 seconds, with a claimed top speed of 170 miles per hour. Its proportions and philosophy should also bring to mind another American performance icon of the 1990s, the first-gen Dodge Viper RT/10. Both combine a long hood, compact two-seat cockpit, rear-wheel drive, and manual transmission. While the Viper too has increasingly gained recognition as a collectible icon of its era, the Series 1 seen here adds exotic construction, far lower production, and the storied Shelby name. More than a quarter of a century later, the Series 1 remains an uncommon sight on the collector-car market, with examples seldom offered for sale. We previously spotlighted a Series 1 prototype when it came to auction, while this remarkably low-mileage example presents something different. This isn't a Cobra replica, nor is it another Mustang derivative. Instead, this remarkably low-mileage example preserves Carroll Shelby's clean-sheet sports car formula almost exactly as it emerged from an extraordinary period of American performance-car history.

1. Elferspot Spotlight: A 996 Anniversary, a MIZWA 993 and an Olive Spyder RS

This week was different for our Elferspot spotlights, and frankly more fun. The three cars picked earn their spot through how they were ordered and what has happened to them since, which means each one rewards the buyer who actually reads the details. We start with a 996 40th Anniversary car carrying a thick service file and a title history that deserves a straight conversation. Then it's back to the air-cooled era for a 993 Carrera S that Porsche Exclusive built for its Japanese importer, and forward again to a one-owner Spyder RS in a Paint to Sample green that may be the only one of its kind in the US. Asking prices run from roughly $60,000 to $285,000. At both ends, the lesson holds: on a Porsche, the option codes and the paper trail tell you more than the badge. 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 40th Anniversary Edition GALLERY-EMBED Porsche built 1,963 of these to mark the 911's 1963 debut, and the Anniversary package was more than badges and trim. Every car got the X51 Powerkit, lifting the 3.6-liter flat-six from 320 to 345 PS (340 hp), along with a limited-slip differential, sport suspension and a Turbo-style front end. This one wears the model's signature GT Silver Metallic over Natural Grey leather, with the six-speed manual and 60,052 miles. The file is what caught our eye. CARFAX logs 28 service records, and PA Euros fitted a new clutch and flywheel in 2024, alongside timing-chain tensioner seals, an A/C compressor, a power-steering line and a recent brake-fluid flush. Plenty of 996s at this money are coasting on their badge. This one has had the bills paid. Now the part PA Euros, to its credit, puts right up front. Porsche bought this car back in October 2004 over wiring-harness concerns, and every title since has carried a Manufacturer Buyback or Lemon brand. CARFAX otherwise reports no accidents, structural damage, airbag deployment or odometer issues, and two decades of regular servicing is reassuring. It also shows 11 previous owners, which is a lot of hands for 60,000 miles. Neither point kills the car, but both will follow it at resale, so I'd ask for whatever paperwork exists on the original repair. And since this is an M96-engined 996, I'd ask about the IMS bearing too; the service list doesn't mention it. Get good answers, and you're looking at a rarer, quicker 996 with a lot of the expensive work already done. View Listing 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S (993) GALLERY-EMBED Harper Porsche in Knoxville, Tennessee, sourced this one off-market from Austria, but its story starts in Japan. MIZWA, Porsche's importer there at the time, commissioned a small run of 993s through Porsche Exclusive, and this silver-over-black coupe is one of them. The option sheet reads like the list most 993 shoppers carry around in their heads: slick top (no sunroof, so a little less weight and a little more headroom), hard-back sport seats, the factory Aerokit, sport exhaust, sport suspension, a limited-slip differential, red calipers and Classic wheels. Finding a couple of those on one car is normal. Finding all of them is not. After its early years in Japan, the car spent most of its life with an enthusiast owner in Austria, and today it's a matching-numbers, two-owner example showing 107,050 km, or about 66,500 miles. The Carrera S arrived in 1997 with the wider rear bodywork of the Turbo and Carrera 4S, but kept rear-wheel drive and the 285-PS (282-hp) Varioram 3.6 with a six-speed manual. Here, the Aerokit and sport chassis sharpen that formula without dragging it into RS territory, which is exactly the balance a lot of air-cooled buyers are after. To be straight about it, $285,000 is serious money for a Carrera S that isn't a low-mileage car. What you're paying for is the combination, the Exclusive provenance and a car Harper's Classic team has already been through extensively. If you'd rather buy a finished car than spend two years hunting options one at a time, this is about as complete as a 993 Carrera S gets. View Listing 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS GALLERY-EMBED Spyder RSs tend to turn up in silver, gray or white. This one was ordered in Paint to Sample Olive Green, and the seller believes it's the only US-market Spyder RS in the color. It has one owner, 1,500 miles, a clean accident history, matching numbers and full paint protection film, and it's offered privately in Los Angeles. The spec under the paint is just as considered. There's the Weissach Package, PCCB, front-axle lift and the 20-inch forged magnesium wheels, which Porsche says save almost 10 kg (about 22 lb) over the standard forged aluminum set. Inside, 918-style carbon buckets in black leather and Race-Tex carry extended yellow deviated stitching across the seats, wheel, dash, console, gear-lever boot and door panels. Racing Yellow belts and door pulls and a yellow 12 o'clock marker on the wheel finish the job. It's restrained from 20 feet away and full of detail up close, which is the best kind of PTS car. Behind you sits the GT department's naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, good for 500 PS (493 hp) and driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK. There's no manual on a Spyder RS, which will bother a few purists and nobody who has heard this engine near the top of its range. Speaking of which, the owner, who kept the car at Concours Collection Storage in Los Angeles and washed it by hand, reports that it has never seen more than 7,000 rpm. Redline is 9,000. So the next owner gets a properly run-in engine with its best 2,000 rpm still waiting, which might be the most appealing line in the whole listing. At $244,000, you're paying for a nearly new car in a specification that would be hard to replicate. View Listing

The Best Ferrari F12tdfs For Sale As Values Soar Into Multi-Million Territory

The Ferrari F12tdf represents a very specific moment in Ferrari’s modern history. Introduced in 2015 as the final evolution of the F12 platform, it took the brand’s front-engine V12 formula and pushed it closer to a track-focused race car without losing the character that made Ferrari’s grand tourers so iconic. The name pays tribute to the Tour de France Automobile, the legendary endurance race where Ferrari dominated throughout the 1950s and ’60s, and the car carried that same competitive spirit into the modern era. With production limited to just 799 examples, the F12tdf quickly became one of the most desirable modern Ferraris among collectors. While the F12berlinetta was already an impressive car, the F12tdf took a much more race-focused approach. Ferrari widened the car’s aerodynamic package with a larger front splitter, redesigned side skirts, an aggressive rear diffuser, and active aerodynamic elements designed to generate more downforce at speed. Weight-saving measures throughout the car, including extensive use of carbon fiber, helped sharpen the driving experience and make the F12tdf feel noticeably more responsive behind the wheel. Inside, the interior mirrors that same philosophy, replacing some of the traditional luxury amenities with Alcantara, carbon fiber, and lightweight materials. Front and center of it all is Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 6.3L V12, an engine that has become one of the defining powerplants of the modern era. Producing 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, the F12tdf sends power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph. But like many of Ferrari’s most memorable cars, the numbers only tell part of the story. What separates the F12tdf is the way it delivers that experience, combining a high-revving V12, sharp handling, and a level of driver involvement that has become increasingly rare in today’s supercar market. 2016 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $3,790,000 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $3,700,000 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Estimate: $2,250,000 - $2,650,000 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $4,299,990 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Call For Price View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $3,895,000 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Call For Price View Listing 2016 Ferrari F12tdf Call For Price View Listing 2016 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $3,849,995 View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Price: $3,999,999 View Listing

Stealth Mode Activated: Best Matte Black Cars For Sale

Matte black has become a go-to finish for performance cars, and it’s easy to see why. Without the shine of traditional paint, the finish gives everything from supercars to SUVs a darker, more understated look while making body lines and aggressive styling details stand out. You’ll also see it called flat black, matt black, satin black, or even “stealth,” depending on the finish and manufacturer. Automakers have their own names for these finishes, too. Mercedes-Benz, for example, uses “Magno” for its matte paint options. And if you like the look but don’t want to commit to a permanent color change, a matte wrap is another popular route. It can change the appearance of a car without repainting the original finish, while also making it easier to switch things up down the road. From factory-finished examples to cars that have been wrapped in various shades of black, the following collection shows just how different matte finishes can look across the automotive spectrum. Here are some of the standout matte black cars currently featured in our inventory.
