Wait, there’s more…

McLaren has produced a short film featuring Justin Bell and Jay Leno, showcasing the capabilities of the new McLaren 750S, some 30 years after Bell’s historic drive in the McLaren F1 GTR at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The film highlights the precision and technology of the current 750S, while celebrating the legacy of the McLaren F1 GTR and its success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was piloted to a podium by Justin Bell, Derek Bell and co-driver Andy Wallace.

In the film, Leno also showcases his personal McLaren F1, renowned for its groundbreaking design and performance. This crossover bridges the gap between McLaren’s storied racing history, and today’s supercar.

Said Bell of the capabilities of the 750S: “(With the F1) I had a six-speed manual, just over 600 horsepower. I had to be so delicate with the manual shift gauge. And yet here, I have these electrifying, downshifts, upshifts, from the seven-speed gearbox, that I could’ve only dreamed about back then!”

Bell continues: “You know how they say that the Apollo 13 mission ran on technology inferior to a modern-day iPhone? If that’s the case, then my F1 GTR from 1995, was a British red phone box, and this is a supercomputer.”

Leno, a legendary automobile collector and former late-night television host, said of the 750S: “I’m so impressed with McLaren as a car company because you really do feel your one with the car when you’re in there. The difference is really in driving it. … How is it different from other cars? Well, when you drive you really can tell.”

Wait, there’s more…

Some significant classic Lamborghini models participated in the 2024 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este – four cars produced in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

A 1967 Miura P400 was on show in Cernobbio in Class D, titled “Faster! The Arms Race On The Road.” 

Class H, called “The Need For Speed: Supercar Stars of The Video Generation,” included a 1976 Countach LP 400, a Countach 25th Anniversary, and a 1999 Diablo GT.

The selection encompassed a period of more than 30 years, involving all the most iconic V-12 engined models produced in that period. It is also the first time the young-timer Diablo has been shown at Villa d’Este, confirming the increasing appreciation of this model as a classic car and sought-after by collectors.

The Countach LP400 was awarded the ‘il Canto del Motore’ trophy for the best sound, and the Diablo GT, which, in its debut as a model at the Villa D’Este competition, won the ‘BMW Group Ragazzi’ trophy. 

The Diablo was voted, during the public open day at Villa Erba, as the most iconic car in the competition by the under-16 audience.

Supercar Xperiences – Dec. 13 to 15 – YOUR turn to get behind the wheel of a fleet of exotic cars at The FIRM’s 1.5-mile race track at 7266 Airport Road in Starke . Prices do not include Track Insurance (Starting at $39 per Car) which is required for drivers.

SPECTATOR PIT PASS – $10.

Morgan Motor Company and Pininfarina have collaborated to reinterpret the timeless Morgan silhouette. The result is the Midsummer, a 50-only limited edition built to celebrate Morgan’s 115-year coachbuilding philosophy and Pininfarina’s 95-year tradition of crafting bespoke vehicles. They have all been sold already.

The Midsummer name was chosen because it is the height of the summer, a season which provides optimal weather conditions to experience an open-top barchetta. The collaboration emerged from a desire by Morgan to create limited-run specials, based on its CX-Generation Bonded Aluminum Platform – and the Plus Six has a base price of $115,800 

The light weight of the bonded aluminum chassis means the Plus Six tips the scales at just 1,145 kg, while the Midsummer has a target dry weight of just 1,000 kg by the time it sees production.

The public debut will be at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed on 11 July to 14 July 2024.

The Midsummer engine produces 335 hp. Midsummer production will conclude in 2025.

Wait, there’s more…

Bentley revealed its third coach-built car of the modern era – the Batur Convertible. Created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in house bespoke division, the Batur Convertible follows the Bacalar barchetta and Batur coupe. With the Batur Convertible, Mulliner continues its long tradition of crafting truly individual cars, tailored to the wishes of each of its extraordinary clients.
The Batur Convertible retains the most powerful version of Bentley’s iconic W12, with a 740 hp from a hand-assembled 6-liter, twin-turbocharged engine. With the engine to finish production this summer, the Batur Convertible will be one of the last ever Bentleys to use this powertrain.

Designers chose to highlight the two-seater character with a ‘wraparound’ cockpit inspired by the design of the Bacalar. The dramatic ‘airbridge’ behind the seats and tapered cowls at the rear hark back to the barchetta sports cars of old, the airbridge and tapered cowls also providing a semi-enclosed luggage compartment behind the two front seats.

The convertible roof can be deployed or stowed in just 19 seconds, up to 30 mph.

In the cabin, the highly exclusive option of 3D printed rose gold includes key driver touch points, such as the Bentley Drive Mode Selector, encircling the start/stop button and used to change chassis modes. the 22” wheels – with the spokes in Gloss and Satin Black Titanium with Vermillion Gloss accents.

Oh yes – pricing is about $2.1 million.
