The premier classic car display in America is the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This unique event, which takes place in August in the stunning Monterey Peninsula, California, is centered on the display of exquisite six-, seven-, and eight-figure antique cars from the first three quarters of the 20th century. As a result, it has a devoted following of wealthy car enthusiasts and collectors as well as a diverse group of the automotive journalists.
It therefore comes as no surprise that it has also evolved into a very popular venue for high-end automakers to unveil their most recent concept and production automobiles, especially given the steady demise of the traditional auto show. At this year's concours, which is loosely referred to as Monterey Car Week, scores of new cars made their world debuts as part of this initiative, which was evidently expanded significantly. To provide you with this thorough list, we watched every premiere.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II
A Rolls-Royce shouldn't undergo much alteration from one generation to the next in order to prevent owners who recently paid $600,000 for theirs from feeling outdone. So you're excused if you can't tell this one apart from the last one (its mainly grille, headlights, and taillights).
BMW M4 CSL
BMW's Competition Sports Lightweight (CSL) cars have gained power while removing weight to make them track-ready. That formula is followed by the most recent iteration of the company's M4 sports coupe, which has an impressive 543 hp and a nearly 250-pound weight reduction. Only 1,000 of these vehicles will be sold, with prices beginning at $140,895.
Range Rover SV Carmel Edition
One of our all-time favorite luxury SUVs is the Range Rover. The top model of this land yacht is the SV. And now the company has introduced this limited run of 17 caramel-colored Carmel Editions, each costing an unbelievable $340,000 and with 23-inch wheels and blue leather seats.
Kia EV6 GT
With electrification, there is no need for additional evidence that high-end automakers will no longer be the only ones able to produce fast vehicles. A 576 horsepower, battery-powered, all-wheel drive hatchback from chic and reasonably priced automaker Kia has been unveiled. It can outperform a Lamborghini Huracan Evo or a Ferrari Roma in terms of acceleration.
Bugatti Mistral W16
It's not as easy as just taking off the roof to create a topless version of the spectacular Chiron hypercar. The $5 million Mistral was fully unique from front to back by Bugatti designers. We particularly like the X-shaped taillights, the stubby back end, and the wraparound windshield.
Bentley Batur
Since the 18th century, Mulliner, an internal coachbuilder of Bentley, has adorned opulent cars (including carriages). This grand touring coupe is its most recent design. It also displays the aesthetic of the ultra-luxury brand when it transitions to an entirely electric portfolio in 2030. It is sneering, extravagant, and prodigious.
Lamborghini Urus Performante
The Urus SUV, the company's entry-level car, seems obligated to receive the "Go faster" treatment from Italy's most outgoing automaker, and it has. It should be able to outperform new competitors with improvements to its power output, handling, and braking, as well as to the exterior and interior style.
Maserati MC20 Cielo
With the release of its stylish and cutting-edge MC20 two-seat super-car last year, Maserati somewhat regained its competitive edge in the car sector. The requirement for a good top-down option in Italian sports cars is, nevertheless, well known. This new sky-colored convertible, which will be offered in gas, hybrid, and electric models, thereby meets that criteria.
