Operation Fearless Ford Bronco

Every car has a history. Some are vintage racing machines that competed in historic events or were owned by celebrities — but not many belonged to a real hero. This 1991 Ford Bronco was Adam Brown's first car. Adam was a Navy Seal killed in Afghanistan in 2010 during an ambush and received the Silver Star for Heroism for actions that saved the lives of his fellow SEAL team members. What started as a restoration for Adam's children Nathan and Savannah morphed into a tribute to their father. A frame-off rebuild put a 400-plus horsepower, 5-liter Coyote motor under the hood mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. A custom fiberglass front clip, fender flares, and BDS suspension components make this Bronco something Adam would have been proud of.

Mil-Spec Launch Edition Hummer H1 SUV

The original AM General H1 was publicly-available military hardware that was as capable as its service-spec cousin. Mil-Spec takes the H1 and takes the already legendary capabilities into the stratosphere. Each Mil-Spec H1 starts with a donor truck that is torn down and rebuilt by hand, using aircraft-grade aluminum body panels and custom-designed interiors. A 500 horsepower Duramax turbo diesel with an astounding 1,000 lb-ft of torque is under the hood, ensuring that if there was anywhere an H1 couldn't go, it can definitely get there now.

Grand Basel

Every year in Basel, Switzerland, the city hosts the Baselworld watch and jewelry trade show, an event that attracts over 90,000 people each year. Parent company MCH also presents Art Basel art fairs across the world and will soon be expanding into another art form — the automobile. A carefully curated group of dealers and brokers, with a focus on vintage autos, will be invited to attend the event and an emphasis on bringing buyers and sellers together. Attendance will be limited to 40,000 people at the inaugural event in Switzerland on September 6-9, 2018, and another show in Miami on February 22-24, 2019.

Mercedes Brabus G550 Adventure 4x4x2

The Mercedes G-Class recently got it's first complete redesign in over 35 years. That doesn't mean the old platform is done just yet. Offroad specialists Brabus have gotten their hands on an outgoing G500, and the results are exactly what you'd expect — more of absolutely everything. The power plant now puts out 550 horsepower, pushing the 4x4 to a top speed of 130 MPH. The exterior is loaded with everything you'll want deep in the outback, with brush guards, roof rack, winch, and Monoblock wheels with all-terrain tires. The Brabus G550 Adventure is available now for those who need anywhere, on- or offroad.

Peter Sellers' 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT

There are many cars that have been owned by movie stars — but far fewer cars that have starred in the movies. This 1961 DB4GT stole the show in the 1963 British comedy The Wrong Arm of the Law. The human star of that film, Peter Sellers of Pink Panther fame, would purchase it after production of the movie ended. The DB4GT featured lightweight aluminum bodywork and a shorter wheelbase from the standard DB4, and this example was fitted with a 4-liter Lagonda Rapide engine block by the factory in 1963. The car has had a recent six-figure restoration, making it perfect for Aston enthusiasts and film fans alike.

1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

Named after Enzo Ferrari's son and heir, the Dino was long seen by Ferrari purists as something of a lesser product. The first mid-engine production car from Maranello, the Dino wasn't badged as a Ferrari proper, with the prancing horse being reserved for the front-engined, V12 models. But the passage of time has been good to the Dino, and they've gained the respect of enthusiasts. This 1974 Dino has seen only two owners and just over 8,300 over 44 years and is completely original throughout. Offered with no reserve, this is one of the best cars to begin classic Ferrari ownership.

Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster

Slotting in between the standard GT and the track-oriented C, the Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster is the latest open-air sports car from Affalterbach. Its handcrafted, biturbo, 4.0L V8 engine produces 515 hp, good for a 0-60 sprint of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. All that power is sent to the wheels via a seven-speed Speedshift DCT transmission and is kept in check by five selectable drive modes, electronically-controlled suspension, and composite brakes. Inside, Nappa leather, Dinamica microfiber, and other high-end materials keep you comfy even at breakneck speeds.

Curtiss Zeus Electric Motorcycle

Curtiss has committed itself to making nothing but electric motorcycles — despite making some of the wildest v-twin bikes you could buy. The Zeus concept is the first hint of what Curtiss' all-electric future will look like. Keeping the styling cues of their previous gas-powered models, the Zeus is billed as the world's first e-twin motorcycle. The details are few, but a 14-kWh battery powers two electric motors that drive a single primary shaft. Curtiss expects to have the production version of the Zeus ready in 2020.

Barn Find 1981 BMW M1

Looking at it in the barn, this 1981 BMW M1 could make even the most hard-hearted car enthusiast weep. Just a year after rolling off the lot, this M1 was parked in a barn in Italy and neglected for 36 years. But thanks to BMW specialists Mint Classics, this all-original M1 is as good — maybe even better — than new. The car received a total restoration, with the entire car being disassembled down to the chassis, including removal of the motor and gearbox. The M1 was then cleaned and brought up to road-ready condition with the best of everything. BMW-certified, this might be one of the best M1s available today.

2018 Aston Martin V12 Vantage V600 Sports Car

Inspired by the 1998 V8 Vantage V600, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage V600 Sports Car is a love letter to naturally aspirated power. Its 6.0L V12 produces the same 600 hp as the original, paired with a seven-speed manual transmission and front and rear dual independent wishbone suspension. Dubbed the "Triple V" for its previous-generation "VH" underpinnings, its carbon fiber exterior is available in both coupe and roadster guises, and production is limited to just seven examples of each.

Ayrton Senna's 1993 McLaren-Cosworth F1 Car

In 1993, Ayrton Senna was the best driver in the world. That season would be the three-time World Champion's last with McLaren before moving to Williams in 1994, and the McLaren MP4/8 would prove to be underpowered and a mid-tier car — except in the hands of the master. Senna took his record sixth Monaco Grand Prix in the MP4/8A shown here, putting an exclamation point on his ability to drive a car far above what it was thought to be capable of. With the same chassis, engine, and transmission from the Monaco Grand Prix, this is one of the most historically significant F1 cars ever, driven by one of the best drivers in the sport.

Winston Churchill's Land Rover Series I

Gifted to the British Bulldog by Rover on his 80th birthday, Winston Churchill's Land Rover Series I is a rare piece of automotive history. Sold at auction in 2012, it underwent a unique restoration by Swiss-based Emil Frey Classics, who took special care to preserve the car's patina while ensuring it would last for decades to come. It now sits inside Frey's Classic Center in Safenwil for all visitors to enjoy.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV

Three years in the making, the Rolls-Royce of SUVs has finally made its debut. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan sits atop the ultra-luxury SUV segment with the Bentley Bentayga. The Cullinan uses Rolls-Royce's modular aluminum spaceframe and the company's twin-turbo V12. A host of novel features are included, like a cargo compartment separated from the cabin, suicide rear doors, and an automatic lowering system that drops the SUV 1.5 inches when the driver approaches. Rolls-Royce's Bespoke division also offers a Recreation Module, with each one being tailored to the buyer's interests. Deliveries of the Cullinan will begin in 2019.

2019 BMW M5 Competition Sedan

Sometimes 600 hp just isn't enough. For those times, BMW has built the M5 Competition. Its 4.4L twin-turbo V8 offers a 25 hp bump over the standard version, resulting in a reduced 0-62 time of 3.3 seconds. In addition to the added power, it has a model-specific exhaust system and engine mount, as well as bespoke chassis tuning to maximize performance.

Pope Francis' Lamborghini Huracan RWD Coupe

Provenance can be everything when a car comes up for auction — and this 2018 Lamborghini Huracan has provenance like no other. While it isn't the Popemobile, this Huracan is resplendent in its white-and-gold paint scheme and bears the signature of His Holiness himself. And even better, all proceeds from the auction will go to the Vatican for charity — a fitting end for the fastest ride a Pope has ever had.

1972 Porsche 914/6 FIA Sports Car

Originally meant to be a shared model with Volkswagen, the 914/4 — the version meant for VW — instead became Porsche's best-selling model. The more powerful, more expensive 914/6 did not receive the same response, and just over 3,000 were built. This example is one of those. Updated to conform with FIA racing standards in 2006, it was fitted with lightweight Perspex windows, racing seats and four-point harnesses, a roll cage, and Fuchs wheels. The engine was also tuned to produce over 200 hp, making the lightweight car even more engaging to drive. It arrives with a number of spare parts, as well as original kit that was removed when the racing modifications were made.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S Edition 1 4-Door Coupe

Mercedes is launching the new AMG GT 63 S with a spare-no-expense Edition 1 package. The Edition 1 is available only on the range-topping GT 63 S model and adds the active AMG Aerodynamics Package to the standard all-wheel-drive and 630-horsepower, twin-turbo V8. Exterior touches include black accents on the 21-inch wheels and black stripes on the side sills, hood, roof, and trunk lid, and the choice of one exterior color — Graphite Grey. The interior has yellow seat belts, contrast stitching, and Edition 1 plates throughout. The Edition 1 will be available for one year only starting in early 2019.

1945 Dodge WC-58 Radio Car

Built for the U.S. military, the Dodge WC series of transports were ubiquitous on the battlefields of WWII. This 1945 Dodge WC-58 Radio Car is a great example. Still wearing its military livery with a tan fabric top, it has several details that set it apart. A winch sets atop the massive front bumper, a matching jerry can is mounted on the side, a shovel and ax sit in an open box on the rear, and chunky tires are mounted on matching green wheels. Finished with brown leather seats, metal info placards, and its signature Signal Corps Radio behind the front seat.

2019 Chevrolet Suburban RST SUV

Chevrolet's performance-oriented RST option, first seen on the 2019 Tahoe, is coming to the Suburban. The Performance Package gives Chevrolet's biggest SUV a substantial boost in every measurable area, starting with what's under the hood — a 420-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8 with a 10-speed transmission. Power is nothing without control, and the Suburban RST rides on a sport-tuned version of GM's Magnetic Ride Control active suspension with Brembo six-piston brake calipers. Expect the Suburban RST to be in showrooms Summer 2018.

1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1900 Gran Turismo Spider

The Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Sport was a successful racing car, winning the Mille Miglia in 1929. The car helped cement Alfa Romeo as a constructor of serious racing cars, and the 6C 1900 was a further evolution of the 1500's winning formula. Improvements like a fully-boxed frame, four-speed transmission, and aluminum cylinder head made the car a competitor. This 6C 1900 has been restored with Le Mans-style spider bodywork and an Alfa supercharger and is presented in excellent driving condition. Only 197 6C 1900s were made and this is one of the best examples in existence.

Gunther Werks Porsche 993 400R

The 993 was the last of the air-cooled 911s — and many people will tell you it's the best 911 to come out of Stuttgart. Gunther Werks takes the 993 and creates what is essentially a GT3 RS, boosting the four-liter flat six to 400 horsepower. Gunther Werks widens the front track and adds custom carbon fiber bodywork throughout the car, most notably the aggressive, widebody fenders over the rear wheels. The 400R might be the ultimate expression of the last air-cooled 911, and only 25 will be made, making for a limited opportunity to get your hands on one of the best 911s around.

Icon 1965 Kaiser Wagoneer SUV

Icon does more than just Broncos. This 1965 Kaiser Wagoneer is a perfect example. Picked for its quality and its distinctive "shovel" nose, the donor vehicle underwent an exhaustive restoration. The body was blasted to raw metal, repainted, then given side trim and a classic wood insert, and set atop a new U.S. steel chassis by Art Morrison. Its engine was upgraded to a modern Erod GM 6.2 LS3, and linked to more capable suspension parts. Like the exterior, the interior was tastefully restored, with any plastic pieces replaced by custom CNC'd metal equivalents, and the seats re-covered in fabric from Knoll, giving it a timeless quality that matches the outside perfectly.

Brabham BT62 Supercar

Australian Sir Jack Brabham was a three-time F1 World Champion and founder of the Brabham racing team that won two constructor's titles in the 1980s. Now Brabham is back, with a car that would make Sir Jack proud. The BT62 is an all-new, track-only supercar that boasts serious performance numbers. A naturally-aspirated 5.4-liter mid-mounted V8 makes 700 horsepower and 492lb-ft of torque and sits in a carbon fiber chassis wrapped in gorgeous aerodynamic bodywork. Only 70 will be made and the first 35 will come in the same green and gold color scheme as the car SIr Jack drove to victory at the 1966 French Grand Prix.

1960 Lamborghini 2241R Tractor

Before Enzo Ferrari made Ferruccio Lamborghini mad enough to start building his own supercars, Ferruccio built tractors. Today, Lamborghini Trattoria still builds farm machinery that wears the same raging bull emblem of their more well-known, road-going siblings. This 1960 DL20 2241R has a two-cylinder, 18-horsepower diesel engine and was part of a line of smaller tractors know as the Lamborghinetta, Ferruccio's favorite models. A recent restoration in a stunning orange and blue color scheme makes this Lamborghinetta nearly as beautiful as the cars and is a much more affordable way to put a legendary bull in your collection.

1976 International Scout II Traveler

The International Scout II Traveler is a long-wheelbase version of the truck, with all the off-road prowess and a lot more room behind the front seats. This excellent restoration is finished in matte white and flat black with a vintage-style rally side stripe. Custom front and rear bumpers along with Mickey Thompson wheels complete the exterior. The original 304 V8 has had a thorough going-over and is mated to a four-speed manual, while the interior has been spray-lined and has new front and rear seats. With its high-quality restoration, this Scout is ready for anything on- or -offroad.

Volvo S90 Ambience Concept

Volvo's S90 executive sedan refocuses the driving experience on the passenger with the Ambience concept. Passengers can set an atmosphere in the car by using a smartphone app to choose between seven visual themes, complete with smell and synchronized audio. An image is projected onto the car's interior roof, with choices ranging from a pleasant rain to the Northern Lights. Each theme is enhanced with one of four different scents by Byredo from a vent in the center console. Add that to features like a front passenger seat that folds into a footrest with a multimedia screen, and the best place to be in the S90 is along for the ride.

Plasan Yagu Armored Vehicle

Plasan is an Israeli manufacturer that provides armor kits for everything from light trucks to aircraft and the US military's MRAPs. Their latest design is the Yagu, based on the Arctic Cat Wildcat. Plasan takes the Wildcat and adds lightweight B6+ composite armor, capable of protecting three passengers from high-powered rifle rounds on all sides. Plasan emphasizes the Yagu's offroad capabilities, agility, and small footprint, making it a perfect fit for border patrol or military base runabouts in hostile territory.
