Without a doubt: The Maserati MC12

It's stunning and the details in real life are incredible! The Edo Competition MC12 has the best sounding engine (much like the FXX).

This vid is great. This is a true car guy and knows these cars are meant to drive and not look at.

I hope your talking about the leather, and nothing else. Pagani Interiors are beyond words incredible. I'd KILL for the interior of my Z4 to look even half as refined as that of a Zonda.

This is news from Michigan:

This 1935 Duesenberg J Roadster won best-in-class honors at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance on Sunday.


This 1927 Isotta Fraschini Fleetwood Roadster was named best in class for European cars at Sunday's Meadow Brook Concour d'Elegance.


'35 Duesenberg, '27 Isotta Fraschini win at Meadow Brook concours
By GREG MIGLIORE

In a field of glittering, gorgeous and historic cars, a 1935 Duesenberg and a 1927 Isotta Fraschini stole the show at the 30th annual Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance on Sunday in Rochester, Mich.

The Duesenberg, a J Roadster, won best-in-show honors in the American class--a follow-up to its victory earlier this year at the Amelia Island concours. The Isotta Fraschini, a rare Fleetwood Roadster, won in the European class. They were chosen from a field of more than 200 vintage cars at the event, which drew an estimated 10,000 spectators.

Other winners included a 1946 Mercury Sportsman, which was honored as a "timeless beauty," a 1930 Minerva, which won for most elegant, and a 1929 Duesenberg, which snared the title of most photogenic.

Scores of other cars were honored with best-in-class titles and "Lion" awards, denoting historical significance. A 1963 Corvette Sting Ray and a 1931 Lincoln K won top honors as the most significant cars from General Motors and Ford, respectively, at the show.

The judging panel was made up of about 60 top auto executives and industry observers, including GM product chief Bob Lutz, Ford North America design director Peter Horbury, Chrysler designer Ralph Gilles and Crain Communications Chairman Keith Crain.

"Automobiles are legitimate pieces of art," said Lutz, who served as chief judge. "They're rolling sculptures."

The people's choice: also a 1935 Duesenberg, though this one was an eye-catching yellow-and-red version.

But competition was secondary for many of the enthusiasts who attended the sun-baked event about 25 miles north of Detroit. Many were there to soak up the automotive lifestyle and see the extensive lineup of cars on display, set amid the rolling grounds of a mansion formerly owned by the widow of auto pioneer John Dodge.

The collection of rare Ferraris drew considerable interest, as did the Bentleys, Cadillacs, Packards and Cords. Toward the back, fans of American muscle huddled around a cluster of Detroit iron, mostly from the 1960s, including a Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Grand Prix and Buick Riviera. Fins were also featured in several exhibits, with the 1957 Chevy a favorite.

Many of the cars were worth more than $5 million, including a couple of rare Duesenbergs estimated be worth around $10 million each.

The concours also marked the North American debut of the B.A.T. 11, a design concept by Stile Bertone first seen at an event near the Geneva auto show earlier this year. The angular, aquamarine-colored car was one of the first exhibits to greet visitors upon entry, and showgoers ringed the display to catch a glimpse of it. Additionally, the Ford Model T had a prominent place at the event, as the car nears its 100th anniversary this fall.

And as if the cars weren't enough, young ladies modeled the latest clothing designs during a fashion show that ran throughout much of the day. Also, an art show featuring sculptures and paintings paying homage to the automobile captured the attention of many fans.

I went to a outdoor classic car meet a few weeks ago. I must say the cars look amazing in person.


This is a Chevy and it was probably the classiest Chevy I've seen at the meet.


This was my favourite car at the meet. The blue looked absolutely amazing. Awesome paintjob and this car attracted the most attention.

I'll take any brand new Ferrari as my dream car. Just not this one though.

I love exotics as much as the rest of you (especially LOVE that papaya orange F1), but there's something about old skoo muscle that's strangely appealing:

Not my "dream" car, but a DAMN fine example of new age retro: (Joe Rogan's 70 Hemi Cuda)

It's a Peugeot 20Cup. It's being made but won't be available to the public. At the time of the press release they said it would be made for racing only.
