In 1907, Rolls-Royce launched the car that would be billed "The Best Car in the World". Originally called the 40/50 h.p., the car would be named the Silver Ghost — something Rolls-Royce wouldn't officially recognize until 1925. Rolls-Royce is now making 35 bespoke Ghosts in honor of the car that launched their legacy. Each one will carry a sterling silver Spirit of Ecstasy and at the base, a reference to the original Silver Ghost in copper and a black gold collar surrounds the emblem. Called the Silver Ghost Collection, these limited edition Silver Ghosts are a proper homage to the original car.

2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan

Mercedes-Benz is finally bringing its smallest car, the A-Class, to the US. The 2019 A-Class is all-new from the ground up, with the sedan being the only model offered in America.

The interior features a glass dash made up of two seven or 10.25-inch touchscreen displays and all the connectivity you'd expect from a top-flight luxury brand.

Bentley Mulsanne W.O. Edition Sedan

In 2019, Bentley will mark its 100th year making some of the finest automobiles to ever grace the road. To honor the occasion, Bentley is celebrating in proper Bentley fashion with the W.O. Edition Mulsanne. The W.O. Mulsanne is more than just badging and special trim. Built to honor the 1930 Bentley 8 Litre, the last car made under the direction of founder W.O. Bentley, each of the 100 W.O. Editions carries a piece of the original with it — a sliver of the original crankshaft mated to the crankshaft that drives the car. Built to a standard that would please W.O. himself, the W.O. Edition is one of the most exceptional cars by one of the most storied manufacturers in the history of the automobile.

RemetzCar Tesla Model S Shooting Brake

There's one thing missing from Tesla's car lineup — a wagon. The Model S is a good looking car by any measure, but limousine manufacturer RemetzCar turned one into a four-door hatchback that looks like it came straight from the factory. Dutch resident Floris de Raadt is a shooting brake enthusiast and has been importing electric cars since 2009. The inspiration for the project came from a Model S hearse built by RemetzCar, and de Raadt knew immediately who to tap for the conversion. A run of 20 units is in the works with a debut set for the International Concours d'Élégance Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.

LincVolt Electric 1959 Lincoln Continental

Created by Neil Young with a team of engineers and automotive experts, the LincVolt is an argument against reliance on fossil fuels. The 1959 Lincoln Continental has undergone several changes since its first version, now relying on a plug-in battery system paired with a Cellulosic Ethanol-burning generator. It offers a pure-electric, zero-emission range of around 50 miles and releases 86% less emissions than gas when the generator kicks in. Paired together, the 5,000 lb. vehicle now gets the equivalent of 55 mpg, far better than the 10 mpg of the original combustion engine. Young is still known to drive the car, which has logged over 55,000 fossil fuel-free miles.

Plum Wine Preserver

With the ability to identify, chill, pour, and preserve, the Plum wine preserver combines all wine gadgets into one sleek package. Select your bottle and insert it into the appliance. Inside, a camera scans the label to identify the wine and automatically begin cooling to the ideal temperature. Whether it's a cork or metal screw cap, a double-cored needle punctures the top. As wine is released, argon gas fills the bottle to help prevent oxidation. A single canister can preserve up to 150 bottles, keeping each one fresh for up to 90 days so when you're ready, a perfect glass of wine is always waiting to be poured — a valuable feature during the holidays.

Rolls-Royce Adamas Collection Wraith & Dawn

Based on the Black Badge models and inspired by their name — which means "untameable," "invincible," and "diamond," according to the company — the Rolls-Royce Adamas Collection Wraith and Dawn are the flagship versions of the respective coupe and convertible. The Spirit of Ecstasy ornaments are made from 294 layers of aerospace grade carbon fiber, take 68 hours to produce, and set on a darkened titanium base. The two available colors — Aphrodite Red and Morpheus Blue — sit atop black bases, creating a two-tone look. Black grille vanes complete the exterior changes, while the interior is highlighted by a clock featuring a Black Badge infinity symbol encrusted with 88 black diamonds. It's mounted on a carbon fiber back plate, and carbon/diamond motif is continued in the starlight headliner, which features 1,340 individual fiber optic lights configured in a way that recalls the molecular structure of carbon as it becomes a diamond. Limited to just 40 Wraiths and 30 Dawns.

Kanye West's Pantone Matte Silver Tesla Model S

Not content with Elon's factory color options, our favorite Kardashian has given his new ride a shockingly subtle livery that perfectly matches the wheels. Kanye West's Pantone Matte Silver Tesla Model S was created by the team at LA-based Platinum Motorsport, which specializes in customization of high-end rides. While the specs on the car remain unknown, we doubt 'Ye would approve of applying his Yeezy Pantone Matte Silver to anything less than the top-of-the-line P100D. Regardless, the color suits the car well enough that perhaps Tesla should consider adding it to the options list permanently.

Cadillac CT6 V-Sport Sedan

It's the first-ever V-performance version of Cadillac's flagship four-door, but that's not the most interesting thing about the CT6 V-Sport Sedan. That would be the all-new 550 hp, 4.2L Twin Turbo V8 that powers it. Thanks to a "hot V" configuration that flips the normal layout of the cylinder heads' intakes and exhausts, the turbochargers are mounted at the top of the engine, practically eliminating turbo lag. All that power is sent to the unique 20-inch wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission and is kept under control via a custom 19-inch brake system from Brembo. Expect to see more specs — and pricing info — ahead of its launch in early 2019.
