1929 BMW R62

The reliability of BMW motorcycles is the stuff of legend. From safaris to rallies and thousands of miles on everyday pavement, a BMW with likely outlast its owner. But not even the engineers behind them could have imagined that 88 years later, their bikes would not only be running but able to keep up with modern traffic. Five years after BMW started making motorcycles, they introduced the 750cc-engined R62 in 1928. Unusual at the time, the R62 has all the things that are hallmarks of BMW motorcycles — horizontal twin engine, shaft drive and a cantilever front suspension. The R62 is a perfect example of BMW's form-follows-function philosophy.

BMW Z4 Concept

BMW's compact roadster has been out of production for over a year and hasn't seen a redesign since 2009. The new BMW Z4 Concept changes that. It diverts noticeably from the arguably feminine lines of its predecessors, replacing them with sharp edges that lend the car a wedge-like shape. It still holds the same long wheelbase, low-slung silhouette, and compact rear as classic roadsters, albeit accented with aggressive, vertical takes on the company's four-eyed headlights, a slanted kidney grille, and elongated L-shaped rear lights. Inside you'll find a driver-focused cabin with black surfaces denoting the cockpit, while the passenger area is clad in an orange that reflects the Energetic Orange frozen exterior paint. Unlike most concepts, this design study is set to appear in production-ready form sometime in the next year.

1974 De Tomaso Pantera L

A marriage of American motors and Italian chassis was consummated in 1971 with the De Tomaso Pantera. A mid-engined sports car with a Ford 351 cubic-inch V8 and Italian coachwork penned by Ghia, the Pantera is a beautiful — and obtainable — Italian sports car. This 1974 Pantera L is the last one ever imported into the US. Specifically optioned by original owner Floyd Moore, the car is signed and has a plaque noting its unique status. Along with being in incredibly original condition, the car has an exhaustively documented history, making it a prized piece of Italian-American history.

Ford GT '67 Heritage Edition

It's been 50 years since A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney piloted their GT40 Mark IV to victory at Le Mans. The 2018 Ford GT '67 Heritage Edition celebrates this historic win with a special interior/exterior appearance package. The body is given a glossy Race Red finish, with white stripes, white No. 1 hood and door graphics, exposed carbon fiber, and 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels. Inside, there's new leather trimming for the seats, red accent stitching, and exposed matte carbon fiber on the sills, air register pods, and center console. Available in limited quantities for the '18 model year only.

1940 BMW 328 Roadster

From 1936 introduction to the end of production in 1940, BMW dominated motor racing in Europe with the 328. One of the best sports cars of the era, this 1940 328 features the lightweight aluminum body by Touring of Milan, the first example of "Superleggera" construction — the body being stretched over a tube frame adding rigidity and saving weight. Adding to the intrigue, the body, chassis, and motor were all separated from each other — the body being on a completely different car at one point — before being brought together for restoration by Chicago guru Fran Roxas.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster

If the only thing holding you back from buying an original Ford GT40 is the lack of an open-air option, you're in luck. The first of six prototype GT40s made with an open roof — the other five were converted into hardtops after assembly — this is the last one in the world in its original configuration. And if that weren't enough, this GT40 has some serious provenance, being the only GT40 ever driven by Formula One legend Jim Clark. A truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to own one of the rarest pieces of automotive history.

Infiniti Prototype 9 Race Car

It's not a "prototype" in the truest sense of the word — it's not a test run for a later production car. Instead, the Infiniti Prototype 9 Race Car is a one-off concept that reimagines a 1940s race car. While its steel body panels and steel ladder frame were built by hand using old-school manufacturing techniques, it's powered by an electric motor producing 148 hp. As a result, it can hit a top speed of over 100 mph and goes from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds, but won't be of much use anywhere but the track, as its battery only lets it run for roughly 20 minutes at a time. For a firsthand glimpse, visit the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

1952 Ferrari 342 America

Since 1950, the "America" designation has been used for Ferrari's large, front-engined grand touring cars. Powerful V12 engines and custom coachwork defined the models, leading to some very rare one-offs during a production run. Only six 1952 342 Americas were produced, and this is the only one bodied by Vignale and one of only two cabriolets. Powered by the 200 hp Lampredi V12 developed for Ferrari's Formula One cars, this was a rocket in its day. A recent restoration with metallic green and white two-tone exterior and matching interior give the car a striking appearance, along with the fact that this could very well be a once-in-lifetime opportunity to own such a rare Ferrari.

1967 Porsche 911 R Prototype

At first, it seems hard to determine which version of Porsche's legendary sports car would be the most desirable. Over 50 years of development and countless racing victories, there are quite a few 911s that stand out — but nothing like this. This is the car gave birth to the 911's status as one of the best sports cars in the world, on or off the track. The fourth of four prototypes built before a production run of 20, this 1967 Porsche 911 R is in amazing condition, having only a light restoration in its 50-year history.

2002 Bugatti EB 110 SS

In 1991, Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli resurrected the famed Bugatti company with its first model since 1947, the EB 110 GT. Shortly after, the EB 110 SS was introduced, with 611 hp over the GT's 550 hp from the quad-turbo V12. With a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 216 MPH, the EB 110 still holds its own 25 years later. This black-on-red EB 110 was actually produced by Dauer, who bought the remaining parts and refined and assembled five EB 110 SS models after Bugatti went defunct in 1996. The Dauer cars are easily the best of the EB 110s, making an already rare car even rarer.

1985 Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B Works

For five years in the 1980s, the FIA's Group B rally spec produced some of the most powerful and sophisticated cars the series had ever seen. With entries like Audi's Quattro S1 putting out over 600 hp, rally racing hasn't seen anything like Group B since its demise in 1987. This Mazda RX-7 Group B car was assembled by the factory Mazda team but has never seen dirt due having been completed after Group B was disbanded. Based on the twin-rotor, second generation RX-7, this RX-7 Evo was one of seven made and believed to be the only one in existence today.

2015 Ferrari Sergio

Ferraris, by design, are rare. Their extreme performance, exotic styling and racing roots make them one of the most powerful brands in the world. Outside of Scuderia's purpose-built racing machines, this is one of the rarest Ferraris ever — and it was made in 2015. Inspired by the 2013 Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio prototype, you could only buy one via an invite from Ferrari itself — making it easier to find a LaFerrari or Enzo than one of the six Ferrari Sergios produced. This is the first of six made, and it's also the first Sergio offered for public sale.

1954 Pegaso Z-102 Berlinetta Series II

Between 1951 and 1958, 84 Spanish sports cars were built in the former factory of another Spanish legend — Hispano-Suiza. Called Pegaso after the mythical winged horse, these cars have attained a status nearly as legendary. Conceived as a direct competitor to Ferrari, the Pegaso was at one time the fastest production car in the world with a top speed of 150 MPH. Each Pegaso has unique coachwork specific to every chassis, and this example is the most desirable body design by Saoutchik of Paris. Restored to a Concours-winning level, this Pegaso placed 2nd at Pebble Beach.

Classic Recreations Shelby GT500CR Mustang

The original Shelby GT500 was an impressive sports car in its day, but that day was 50 years ago. Classic Restorations brings the original pony car into the modern era with their GT500CR. Each car starts with an original 1967-1968 Mustang body. From there, a fuel-injected 427ci Ford Performance motor — good for over 1,000 hp with an optional supercharger — is dropped in, along with suspension updates, disc brakes, and Shelby exterior trim pieces. The result is a hand built, vintage-bodied GT500 that is licensed by Shelby American as a real Shelby, but with fit and finish and modern technology never conceived of in the 1960s.

1961 Triumph TR4

You can find the strangest things in Kentucky barns — like this classic '61 Triumph TR4. British and roadster are like hand in glove. The island nation has a reputation for solid handling cars, and the TR4 is no exception. Current owner Tom Hale pulled the car out of the aforementioned tobacco barn and had it fully restored by Danny Morton of the Sterling British Motoring Society. After 40 years of slowly rotting away, Danny and Tom have brought the car back to its former glory.

1937 Yellowstone Park Tour Bus

Sports cars get all the attention. With their sleek shapes, powerful motors, and handling prowess, the other four-wheeled denizens of the vintage automotive world often get overlooked. Vehicles made to work rarely get any praise. Even though it isn't going to get any accolades for performance or racing pedigree, this 1937 Yellowstone Park tour bus is hard to miss. Huge, yellow, and able to haul all your friends and extended family to destinations unknown, it's slightly more practical than your usual upscale car auction fodder — and has a history of showing people the grandeur of Yellowstone that's as important as any automobile.

1976 Lamborghini Countach LP 400 Periscopio

When it debuted in 1974, the Lamborghini Countach looked like something from outer space. The wedge-shaped body with iconic NACA ducts, scissor-hinged doors, and low profile was unlike anything seen before — and over 40 years later, it still makes an impact. This Tahiti Blue 1976 Countach is one of the original production run of just under 160 cars. Before the massive wings and fender flares of the later models, the LP400 is the Countach in its most pure and desirable form. Delivered to its first owner in Toronto, the car has remained in Canadian hands ever since and still has the original motor along with a high-quality restoration in the factory-ordered color. As wild as the Countach became in the 80s, this example of the car in its first iteration is even more striking.

1979 BMW R80 Skyway Boardracer

Traditionally, bicycles have taken tech and styling cues from motorcycles — not the other way around. But this custom BMW R80 flips that convention on its head. Inspired by 80s BMX bikes with Skyway Tuff Mag wheels, it perfectly captures the aesthetic. The art of any custom bike is in the details, and the Skyway Boardracer is loaded with them. Internal throttle and clutch cables along with Motogadget instruments and switches keep the appearance exceptionally clean. A custom one-foot braking system eliminates the brake lever, and handmade pieces like the battery cover and CNC'd exhaust tips and the finishing touch. More than just a styling exercise, the updated suspension pieces also make this R80 a joy on the road.

1966 Amphicar 770

The result of over a decade of development, the Amphicar debuted in 1961 as the first fully amphibious vehicle sold to the public. Transitioning from land to water was a breeze, with just a few simple steps and a pull of a lever — which moves the engine's power from the wheels to dual rear propellers — necessary. This 1966 Amphicar 770 has recently undergone a full restoration with an eye on authenticity and saw its top and interior replaced, and its body painted the factory color of Lagoon Blue. Accompanied by extensive documentation, it would make a highly entertaining and unusual addition to any collection.

1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

It was the supercar of its day. A road-going version of the legendary Mercedes 300 SL race car, it was the brainchild of American Mercedes importer Max Hoffman. Max's idea of a race car for the street was an overnight success, and he sold over 1,000 of the 1,400 cars made from 1954 to 1957. A powerful 240 hp inline-six, independent suspension, 166 MPH top speed, timeless bodywork, and the famous gullwing doors all made the 300 SL an instant classic. This sought-after late production example is presented it's original black-on-red color scheme, and has never left its home state of Pennsylvania since new.

Bentley Flying Spur V8 S Black Edition

Trimmed in glossy black hardware, the Bentley Flying Spur V8 S Black Edition is a more contemporary take on the Flying B's sporty sedan. The brightware, window surrounds, door mirrors, and all-new wheels are all done in glossy black, while the lights get a dark tint treatment. Inside, black dominates, broken up by contrasting leather stripes that run through the seats, up around the headrests, and down the middle of the roof. Of course, looks aren't everything, so it's outfitted with a 4.0L V8 engine, delivering 520 hp to the road via an all-wheel-drive system that makes possible a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph.

2015 Ferrari LaFerrari

The Ferrari. That's the rough translation of Ferrari's pinnacle hypercar, the LaFerrari. Over 70 years of racing experience have been poured into this, the ultimate statement from Scuderia. With over 900 hp from a 6.3 liter V-12 and an electric motor, extensive use of carbon fiber and other exotic materials, and active suspension and aerodynamic parts, the LaFerrari isn't just the most technologically advanced road car Ferrari has ever built, it's one of the most sophisticated cars ever made. This extremely rare black-on-black example will be up for auction on August 19, 2017, in Monterey, California.

1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 M AR 51 Matta

Get all those images of sleek red coupes, sedans, and roadsters out of your head — this an Alfa Romeo like you've never seen. Aside from the obvious lack of rosso, this 1952 1900 M AR 51 was built for the opposite purpose of Alfa's road cars. Designed as the Jeep equivalent for the Italian army, the truck performed admirably for two decades before the fleet was phased out in the 70s. It performed so well that it earned the nickname "matta", a variation on the Italian word for crazy, to describe its off-road capabilities. The 1900 M AR 51 isn't just a very unusual Alfa Romeo, it's a rare piece of Italian military history not often seen in the United States.

1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Shooting Brake

When you think of Ferrari, you think of sleek red automobiles and purebred racing machines — not station wagons. But if Scuderia were ever going to make something slightly more practical, this would be it. While not an official Ferrari model, the decidedly 60s-futuristic coachwork was commissioned by Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti Jr., styled by American illustrator Bob Peak, and crafted by Italian firm Vignale. Built on a 1965 330 GT 2+2, the car debuted at the 1968 Torino Motor Show and is believed to be the last Ferrari styled by Vignale. Not only is it extremely unique, it's also one of the few Ferraris that can transport four people and their luggage at speed and in comfort.

2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom

The name is synonymous with luxury. Rolls-Royce has an unparalleled history of building the finest road-going cars available, and the all-new Phantom VIII is no exception. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the Phantom features four-wheel steering and a forward looking camera that scans the road ahead and adjusts the suspension accordingly, ensuring that your driver will never upset your cocktail. A glass panel in front dash allows you to display personal items in the car, and self-closing doors seal you silently inside the cabin. Fully customizable to your every whim, the Phantom VIII again raises the bar for ultra-luxury automobiles.

Bollinger B1 Electric Sport Utility Truck

With a 3-box look reminiscent of classic SUVs, the Bollinger B1 Electric Sport Utility Truck blends capability with technology. It's based on an all-new lightweight all-aluminum chassis with an HSLA steel rollover structure that lets it convert from a half-cab to full-cab. Its electric powertrain is powered by either a 60 kWh or 100 kWh battery, offering 120 miles or 200 miles range, respectively. Hooked to dual motors for full-time all-wheel-drive, it offers 360 hp and a 0-60 time of just 4.5 seconds. Inside, its utilitarian space is made more inviting with leather seating for four, a leather steering wheel, and a marine-grade, Bluetooth-enabled stereo system, while the exterior is finished in a unique "Gunhouse" Grey with black accents and a black satin wheel finish for a no-nonsense appearance.

2006 Lamborghini Concept S

Traditionally, there hasn't been much difference between Lamborghini's concept cars and the production machines. The borderline-outrageous styling and performance filter down quite well from the drawing board to the pavement. The Concept S is just that — a concept — except that it's a fully-functional, street-legal car. Building on the Gallardo platform, Lamborghini created a convertible like no other. There is no canvas or retractable hardtop. The Concept S is a true roadster, with the occupants exposed to the elements. The striking twin-cockpit design separates the driver and passenger and reinforces the look of single seat racing cars of the past. A truly rare car, this one-off drivable concept is the ultimate spyder, with only 115 miles clocked in the last 11 years.

Land Rover Defender SVX Spectre

We've seen a replica. Now's your chance to own the real thing. This 2014 Land Rover Defender SVX JB 24 is one of just ten examples built for the production of Spectre, the 24th film in the James Bond franchise (hence the name). Featured in a memorable chase scene in the Austrian Alps, it was built in collaboration with Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations and Rover tuning and racing specialists Bowler. Improvements include a power boost of over 60 hp, suspension upgrades, 37-inch tires bolted directly onto the rims, and a full roll cage. Used only in drive-by scenes, this example is in perfect condition and has under 150 miles on the odometer.
