Special retrospectives included:

Over the past 100 years, eight distinct generations of the Phantom have helped define the brand’s reputation as one of the world’s most luxurious marques. To celebrate this milestone, Rolls-Royce showcased its rich history at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance—a highlight of Monterey Car Week—bringing every generation together, from the iconic vintage models owned by royalty and world leaders to modern masterpieces.

 The lineup extended to more recent models, including a 1972 Phantom VI, famously driven by Ivory Coast President Félix Houphouët-Boigny—a unique left-hand drive Landaulet built for state occasions. Completing the retrospective was a 2006 Phantom VII, representing Rolls-Royce’s modern era with its V12 engine and limited production run.

The F50 GT1 is a rare and extreme Ferrari prototype, built to compete in top-tier GT1 racing. The only factory-assembled example, chassis number 001, features a 750-horsepower version of Ferrari’s 4.7-liter V12, combined with a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque and period-correct aerodynamics. Although it was never raced after Ferrari discontinued the program in 1997, it has remained with its original private owner and is a highly coveted racing icon. The car’s victory was celebrated by its induction into the Rolex Circle of Champions, with its owner receiving a specially engraved Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36. Additionally, the event marked the 30th Anniversary of the Ferrari F50, honoring the brand’s modern supercar masterpiece, with the award going to a 1995 Ferrari F50 owned by Museo Carde.

Highlights from Pebble Beach, Monterey Car Week, and Concours d’Elegance 2025

<h3 dir="ltr">Unveiling the Bugatti Brouillard</h3>
As Monterey Car Week reaches its dazzling crescendo, the automotive world stands in awe of Bugatti’s latest creation—a one-off masterpiece that exemplifies the zenith of bespoke craftsmanship and artistic vision. The Bugatti Brouillard, born out of the brand’s newly launched Programme Solitaire, not only celebrates the storied legacy of Ettore Bugatti but also pushes the boundaries of automotive personalization into uncharted territory.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Rich Heritage of Coachbuilding Excellence</h4>
For over a century, Bugatti has been synonymous with the art of coachbuilding. From the elegant curves of Jean Bugatti’s visionary designs to the sculptural brilliance of Rembrandt Bugatti’s bronze sculptures, the marque has consistently embodied the pursuit of automotive artistry. Today, Bugatti continues this tradition through Programme Solitaire—a division dedicated solely to creating pure, one-of-a-kind vehicles that serve as personal masterpieces for the most discerning collectors. 
<h4 dir="ltr">The Genesis of Brouillard: Heritage and Innovation</h4>
The Brouillard, named after Ettore Bugatti’s favorite horse, is more than a car; it’s a tribute to the founder’s lifelong passion for horses and equestrian elegance. Built on the platform of the Mistral, the final Bugatti to be powered by the legendary W16 engine, this coupe marks a historic milestone. It’s poised to become one of the most expensive Bugattis ever built, representing the culmination of two decades of engineering mastery.
This vehicle is a true blank canvas—created from scratch with no panels shared with the Mistral—and is destined to redefine bespoke automotive luxury. The car’s design eschews aggressive sharp lines, favoring instead smooth, reflection-oriented surfaces that evoke the powerful musculature of a trained steed. The body is cloaked in a mossy matte green complemented by exposed carbon fiber accents and a fixed rear ducktail wing, emphasizing artistic form over functional aerodynamics.
<h4 dir="ltr">An Interior Refined in Artistic Detail</h4>
Inside, the Brouillard exudes bespoke craftsmanship at every turn. The cabin features light olive green leather upholstery, paired with custom-woven tartan fabric from Paris, decorating seats and door panels with a subtle nod to its equestrian inspiration. The glass roof provides an almost cathedral-like ambiance—flooded with natural light—while detailed embroidery and a uniquely crafted gear shifter, with a hand-sculpted figure of Brouillard, celebrate Ettore Bugatti’s love for horses. Every detail has been meticulously designed to ensure a seamless harmony between exterior sculpture and internal sanctuary. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfw7YHp-u7wrShiwwafm8NB02kTR3904grKGmlQgWXIB838XPXoZxU4TMtvJV-Gr2UYt08sl9GaDSob-qIJ1l1ViMDnlLX0pxNeFNqA2cKYDwrhw35nlfHQDfn2cYH0molF5VB5XA?key=oPT-QDzOGT6Sxgon-H19yw">
<h4 dir="ltr">Power and Performance: The Final Hurrah for W16</h4>
Beneath its artful exterior lies the iconic W16 engine—an engineering marvel capable of delivering 1,578 horsepower. Despite its focus on craftsmanship and design, the Brouillard possesses staggering performance credentials, capable of catapulting from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and surpassing 260 mph. It’s a fitting finale to the legacy of Bugatti’s W16 engine, symbolizing the ultimate in hypercar performance and engineering finesse.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Purposeful Rarity</h4>
Bugatti plans to produce only two Solitaire vehicles each year, underscoring its commitment to creating genuinely unique, handcrafted masterpieces. The Brouillard will debut amidst the many highlights of Monterey Car Week, a gathering of the world’s most extraordinary automobiles. Its owner remains private, described as an exceptionally passionate collector—not only of cars but of rare art and furniture, echoing Ettore Bugatti’s own appreciation for craftsmanship and artistry.
While the price remains undisclosed, industry experts estimate that the Brouillard will set new records for the marque—potentially surpassing the $12 million mark—making it possibly the most costly new Bugatti to date. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeAm896IYlDawEcp1tBwo24mEjq7vOZyaxNm7AyVtLRKYSIc-2jXKg5o0XuK8diWXjOFjna3sRg1uPzZLZ4siYMs_nrVfUwDoR1H8Tb0pEJBQngE1bivPo_ZeuZIq4DS5halRw2tg?key=oPT-QDzOGT6Sxgon-H19yw">
<h4 dir="ltr">The Legacy Continues</h4>
The Bugatti Brouillard is more than a vehicle; it’s a celebration of a century-old craft, embodying the perfect union of artistry, engineering, and exclusivity. It encapsulates Bugatti’s unyielding dedication to bespoke excellence, elevating the concept of automotive haute couture into a realm where art and performance are inseparable.
As Monterey Car Week unfolds, the world is reminded of the enduring soul of automotive craftsmanship—an art form that Bugatti continues to perfect. The Brouillard stands as a shimmering testament to the boundless potential of coachbuilding, where each curve, each stitch, and each engine revolution tell a story of passion, history, and relentless innovation.

Unveiling the Bugatti Brouillard

<h3 dir="ltr">Dua Lipa’s Custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS: A Powerhouse Designed for a Cause <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeycTqBBT3_ekEPEFbfq5PdSdWB0pG1pWDNtV_KLwBip0PfdDCirbFJjAIAbejd9KlVrqcNL-EvAU5TTXsPVOUPKOBY7WQMz8RSRU3eV4bljsUEeawR-nAY1t-BKvylyKBAFe1VDw?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA"> </h3>
In an exciting fusion of music, style, and high-performance engineering, Dua Lipa has partnered with Porsche to create a one-of-a-kind 911 GT3 RS that’s hitting the auction block—and it’s more than just a collector’s dream. This isn’t your typical Porsche, nor was it just designed by a prolific car collector; instead, it’s the result of an exclusive collaboration between the pop superstar and Germany’s premier sports car brand.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Visual Masterpiece with Purpose</h4>
Dubbed the ‘Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS,’ this bespoke machine boasts a bold, eye-catching livery inspired by her vibrant style—striking turquoise, red, gold, and dark green accents that seem to race right out of the track-from notable Porsche racing liveries from decades past. Originally painted Arctic Grey from the factory, Dua’s input transformed it into a color-blocked showstopper, echoing her retro-inspired musical hits and energetic performances.
The look is flamboyant, fun, and unmistakably Dua, with ‘Dua Lipa Rennstall’ lettering across the sides and hood. Its performance specs match its eye-catching design: equipped with the Weissach Pack, Clubsport Package, Porsche Ceramic Brakes, and a front-axle lift system, making it a bona fide track-ready beast. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe-6YnVeVAmbB0ScwTbU9UuZ3ZeIZggcs30PM4ZlQYtOBPBv21oNhQ4On18AN4DgyFNUA34Q9A8dOoRRflZcI0SvQ5QRkYGgeDqdNoMqSsZ4xRhVdwiVD2ULMoWXoyzNYmvdDLd0g?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA">
<h4 dir="ltr">A Rich Blend of Style and Substance</h4>
While the exterior is a feast for the eyes, the interior balances performance with subtle sophistication. Black leather with red stitching, a red tachometer, and carbon fiber accents give the cabin a sleek, driver-focused vibe—a space that clearly understands speed is art in motion.
The car has been driven actively — seen cruising Monte Carlo streets during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, with only around 3,270 miles on the odometer. It’s clear this is a car that’s been designed to perform, not just collect dust. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfKpUFPKnyqZcA-EXhBm4fPC1hbVeITAaLSI8rMH181DzJXqLftY8eZv5tN6uul1gy7vn_Wr3bF9UckK_rayiyzO0_H1ahXcE1t0d4A2R7X9JIOOsZXh0FjW17OEMPZHL9VaAP-vA?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA">
<h4 dir="ltr">Drive Change, Make a Difference</h4>
What makes this Porsche even more exceptional is the story behind it. All proceeds from the upcoming auction will benefit the Sunny Hill Foundation, a charity founded by Dua Lipa focused on supporting arts, culture, and education initiatives in Kosovo. With an estimated sale price of over $470,000, this car represents a rare opportunity to own a hypercar with purpose—a vehicle that’s both a display of speed and a vessel for positive impact.
<h4 dir="ltr">Limited, Bold, Meaningful</h4>
Live now on RM Sotheby’s from July 12 to July 31, 2025, this exclusive Porsche is suitable for enthusiasts, collectors, and fans who want their high-performance ride to also tell a story of creativity and charity. And if you happen to tell people the Porsche cruising Monaco was driven by Dua herself? Well, that’s just the icing on the turbocharged cake. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcEBaLwtcrOLb-AdviRf6_X67FHonxVJ8w5j3Qw7ArJod6Xp2NweLvmwQVVaqUCa-RMFcfy3QLLtYEwuS2Yc_Ft7GO5g1c-r_NxMPLz8nEqMrPIZryeeQvOgq1zZnxj6Aavyye-?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA"> 
 
<h3 dir="ltr">Final Thoughts</h3>
This collaborative effort between Dua Lipa and Porsche is a perfect example of luxury brands leveraging their power to foster positive change. As this rare Porsche hits the auction block, it reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful journeys are those that leave a lasting impact.

The Best Exotic Cars for Your Summer Vacation: Aspen, The Hamptons, Palm Beach, and Nantucket

<h3 dir="ltr">The Legend of James Dean’s ‘Little Bastard’ Porsche: A Tale of Speed, Superstition, and the Power of Vehicle History </h3>
James Dean’s brief but impactful career was forever linked to his iconic 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, famously dubbed “Little Bastard.” Owned for only nine days before tragedy struck, this sleek silver sports car became an automotive legend shrouded in superstition, mystery, and outright bad luck. Today, its story underscores the critical importance of knowing a vehicle’s history—something we at MPH partner with CARFAX to help you understand.
<h3 dir="ltr">A Race Car Filled with a Dark Legacy</h3>
Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder was a marvel of its time—a curvaceous, lightning-fast machine capable of reaching speeds up to 143 mph. Crafted from lightweight aluminum, it was built for sheer speed but was notoriously dangerous, with minimal protection for its tiny chassis. Made in only 90 units, surviving examples are exceedingly rare, and the car’s reputation for being cursed only added to its mystique. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfYXzRrIUuSYPmEzw7IJ8pq7lzu5IL_0Ua07m1TY_LMR61IwhDHHL6XxuIdb3xBXBjav7AeO1ylD0d1PiEbFvvITTI0KrKoBvodATMg2RrrOdecquwV02rpHNSQi4AIBOOYCvyzUQ?key=RmBAngIcSTEZ8KiTpAYmEw"> 
Dean, famed for living life in the fast lane, owned “Little Bastard” for just over a week. His plan was to race at Salinas, California, but fate had other plans. On September 30, 1955, traveling at approximately 85 mph, Dean collided with a car driven by a young student, Donald Turnupseed—a crash that claimed Dean’s life instantly.
<h3 dir="ltr">A Car’s Life After the Crash</h3>
Following Dean’s death, “Little Bastard” quickly became a source of eerie incidents. The wreckage was bought by enthusiasts, and pieces of the car—like the engine and transmission—were incorporated into other race cars, fueling a series of tragic accidents and deaths, including the fatal crash of Troy McHenry, who drove a car with parts from Dean’s Porsche.
Car designer George Barris bought what remained of the wreckage and used it in a traveling automotive display. The car, or parts of it, supposedly suffered fires, breakages, and even disappeared entirely—adding layers to its myth. Rumors spread of bizarre happenings: injuries, mysterious fires, and sightings of the car in various places, fueling the legend of a supernatural curse. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeWYgEtu2GtYGoy7zhP268DopBxh2Ak-J-SdZu41-rW_xe9cnHCP7Rw2h0eMwgbUF0lmb_InaqNBPyjMPcav62zoH_wG6pjpmDU2kSff9dsP1pq8Ih_lE1fLtqFbkSXpA2Y3kD3?key=RmBAngIcSTEZ8KiTpAYmEw"> 
<h3 dir="ltr">The Power of a Known History</h3>
Today, the story of Little Bastard highlights an essential lesson: understanding a vehicle’s history can be crucial. Like Dean’s Porsche, many cars have stories—accidents, repairs, or modifications—that can impact safety and value.
That’s why MPH partners with CARFAX, the global leader in vehicle history reports. Knowing the history of a vehicle helps you make informed decisions—spotting potential red flags, understanding past damages, or verifying authenticity in rare cars like Dean’s Porsche. It’s a safeguard against buying a “haunted” vehicle—or one with a hidden past.
The Only Remaining Piece
Despite countless stories and mysteries, the whereabouts of “Little Bastard” remain unknown. The only verified surviving part is a transaxle, which was discovered in 2020 and sold at auction for $387,000. Today, it’s owned by Zak Bagans, host of Zak Bagan’s The Haunted Museum, keeping alive the legend of Dean’s cursed ride. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdBIFzBBra0AXW4d4eenHsbhfJ5ri71mXd2XB5BTMbEzbjtgEOO486sHH6h2EXXlyAcW56cKfB6z9cw31iFwiFqbbKvy9yCtD16ZeU3n10TjPDava7ZAN-2PiOnWls-460mmO5H?key=RmBAngIcSTEZ8KiTpAYmEw"> 
<h3 dir="ltr">Final Thoughts</h3>
James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder is a powerful reminder of how history, legend, and fact intersect in the automotive world. Whether you're a collector or an everyday driver, understanding your vehicle’s story is invaluable—something we prioritize at MPH in partnership with CARFAX. Because in the world of cars, a well-documented history isn’t just smart; it could be lifesaving.
