For more than four decades, duPont REGISTRY has stood at the intersection of automotive heritage, horsepower, and cutting-edge innovation. What began as a bold vision to create a trusted marketplace for the world's finest automobiles has evolved into a global authority on the high-end lifestyle — where industry leaders, creators, and collectors converge.
Our 41st Anniversary issue celebrates Heritage & Innovation, twin forces that define true luxury. It is fitting that Bentley graces our cover — an enduring marque that exemplifies the seamless blend of legacy craftsmanship and forward-thinking engineering. Few brands capture the dialogue between past and future so eloquently, a balance underscored by the bold Supersports variant of its Continental. Not content with building a 657-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive colossus, Bentley handed the keys to action star Travis Pastrana for a gymkhana-style film shot around its historic Crewe 'Dream Factory,' which has stood on this site since 1938 — it's never witnessed anything quite like this! We also revisit five decade-defining supercars that shaped automotive excellence — exotics whose rarity and cultural impact have elevated them from performance machines to blue-chip collector icons.
In DRIVE, Aston Martin gives its stunning Vantage the 'S' treatment, and road tester Michael Teo Van Runkle pushes the 200-mph grand tourer through California's canyon roads. I examine Formula 1's latest rule changes as an exciting new season begins, while Basem Wasef sits down with Bugatti Design Director Frank Heyl to discuss his bespoke reimagining of the Veyron that honors the legendary Ferdinand Piëch.
In LIVE, we present an eclectic mix of global luxury — from a Mercedes-Benz-branded city planned for Dubai to the floating paradises designed by Pininfarina, recently unveiled at the Miami Boat Show.

And in SELL, we highlight a curated selection of the world's most desirable exotic, classic, and luxury automobiles — spotlighting Volo Auto Museum — and reflect on the electrifying start to the 2026 collector car auction market. As we mark 41 years, our commitment remains unchanged: to curate excellence with authority and integrity. The future of high-end living belongs to those who value where they've come from as much as where they're headed.
Happy reading, and as always, drive safely!
