Monterey Car Week 2026: Hypercar debuts and luxury auctions

Overview

Monterey Car Week 2026 continues to showcase high-end automotive reveals, custom builds, and luxury auctions. The event features the debut of the Eccentrica V12 Roadster, a roofless Lamborghini Diablo restomod, and Hennessey’s analog-focused Blackbird hypercar.

New reveals emphasize analog driving experiences and bespoke design. Ferrari introduced the CZ26, a minimalist supercar developed from the SF90 Stradale featuring a 1970s Italian aesthetic and raw titanium exhausts. Mansory debuted two exclusive Bugatti models: the Vincerò, based on the Mistral roadster, and the Vivere, a Chiron-based model with a copper-brown exposed carbon fiber body. Czinger Vehicles presented the 21C Spyder, a roofless hybrid hypercar producing 1,250 horsepower, with production limited to 30 units.

Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) has unveiled the S1, a touring-focused evolution of the S1 LM. Designed for road usability and long-distance engagement, the S1 features a central driving position, a six-speed manual transmission, and an active rear aerodynamic system rather than a fixed wing. It is powered by a 4.2-liter Cosworth V12 capable of 12,100 rpm, with production limited to 64 units. McLaren Automotive also highlighted its return to manual transmissions with the McL 6GT concept, a V8-powered project aiming to revive the spirit of the M6GT.

Spyker has announced a brand comeback following its 2021 bankruptcy with the C8 Preliator XXV Coupé. This hand-built hypercar, limited to 25 units, features an Audi-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and prioritizes analog instruments over digital screens.

A major auction highlight remains the ‘Pop Art F1’ McLaren F1 GTR, formerly owned by Nick Mason, which set a record for the most expensive British car sold at public auction, fetching $34.655 million via RM Sotheby’s.
