The article highlights the top 10 most exciting cars showcased at the Quail, a prestigious Monterey car event, featuring models like a Ferrari F50 GT1, Lamborghini Fenomeno, Bugatti Brouillard, and custom builds such as Gunther Werks Project F-26 and Gordon Murray's S1 LM, emphasizing their performance, design, and exclusivity.
Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia as rebel forces took control of the country, leaving behind his valuable exotic car collection. A video reportedly shows rebels exploring the collection, which includes rare and expensive vehicles like a Ferrari F50, Aston Martin, and Lamborghini LM002. Assad's hasty departure meant he couldn't take the cars with him, despite their significant worth.
The 2005 Maserati GranSport is a sleek and stylish car with a Ferrari-designed 4233 cc quad-cam V8 engine that produces 395 horsepower. It features a flappy paddle Cambiocorsa F1 transmission and a comfortable cabin with wider seats and a narrower center console. This particular GranSport is in excellent condition with just 50,800 miles on the clock and comes with a set of chrome-plated aftermarket 19-inch wheels. The asking price of $23,800 is fairly compelling, but potential buyers should consider the cost of Maserati maintenance and the F1 transmission's herky-jerky performance in around-town driving.
The 2023 Aston Martin DBS, a high-performance luxury car with a $406,086 price tag, is objectively flawed with poor handling, heavy and numb steering, and outdated infotainment technology. However, its exclusivity and stunning design still appeal to buyers who want to be seen in the car. The DBS features a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 715 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque, but its heavy turbocharging results in a delay in power delivery. The car's ride comfort is excellent, but it tends to snap oversteer when pushed. The cramped, dark cabin and outdated infotainment system do not justify its high price tag.
