There are some cars we dream about driving, maybe even owning, when we’re young…very young. We daydream about the big V8, the rare V10, or the always elusive V12, and we get lost in the thoughts about the high-end luxury features and status-emitting exteriors attached to certain car brands. By the time we hit the […]
A grand collection of supercars was dismantled back in November 2022, going for auction at RM Sotheby’s in London. On that momentous day, 18 of the most significant cars of the modern era were offered for sale, ending the Gran Turismo Collection’s 25-year run while sending me on an interminable journey to explore each of […]
Years ago, I settled in for a movie on the couch and joked about how nice it would be to have movie theater popcorn delivered. You know, the buttery delicious aroma that immediately heightens your senses and puts you in “movie mode” when you walk through the theater doors. I wanted that deliciousness delivered rather […]
A remarkable collection of vehicles was offered at auction by RM Sotheby’s of London on November 5, 2022, named the Gran Turismo Collection for its members. It Included legendary Group B racers, the fabled Ferrari hypercar quintet, and a number of production car top speed record holders. The owner was obviously a speed junkie, unafraid […]
It all led up to this. Thirty years of rediscovery, realization, succession and innovation, aggregated into a single package which creates a serious argument for itself as the greatest car on the planet. Seventeen years of meticulous cultivation, of both a collection and a relationship, to be granted the privilege of an opportunity to buy […]
In November of 2022, a collection of 18 cars was auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s of London. Although 18 vehicles are hardly impressive by the standards of the world’s great car collectors, this was no aggregation of garden-variety classics, muscle cars, and grand tourers; every one of the 18 carried significant clout in the automotive […]
Virtually any list of the greatest sports cars of all time includes at least one Ferrari. The marque is one of the strongest brand names in the world, earning its recognition through racing excellence and a sports car division that exists solely to support said excellence; it’s requisite for such a brand to be a […]
Last month, I wrote about a car that was being sold at auction on November 5th, 2022: a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. The car is one of the most special members of a now-dissolved club called the Gran Turismo Collection by RM Sotheby’s. This is a relatively small collection composed of 18 of the rarest and […]
There’s an auction that took place on November 5th, 2022, hosted by an organization by the name of RM Sotheby’s. This wing of the world-renowned Sotheby’s Auction House organization took over Marlborough House in London, England, to auction off one of the most spectacular automobile collections that one could actually shake a stick at. The […]
So, you’re looking to sell the old thing? Maybe it’s been high time for a while. Or maybe you are sick of it and want to try something else. Or maybe you have an older car just taking up space in the garage, and you’re looking to have some extra money back in your account. […]
“First they came for the Porsche, and I did not speak out because I don’t like Porsche; then they came for the Lamborghini, and I did not speak out because I don’t like Lamborghini; then they came for Ferrari, and there was no one left to speak for me.” That paraphrase (most likely in semi-poor […]
Ferrari has made a plug-in hybrid car—that’s right, Ferrari has made a plug-in hybrid car. Sorry, it’s hard not to repeat that sentence over and over. Now you can own a refined supercar while ostensibly doing something good for the environment. You can save the environment by buying a Ferrari, who knew? Seriously, though, this […]
