The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is just the cherry on top of a week of events highlighting, celebrating and sometimes even worshiping the automobile.
While the lawn on Sunday mostly focuses on the past, other events like The Quail and the numerous private debuts scattered around Monterey, California have their sights very much set on the future of high-end motoring.
However, the true head-turners were more exotic, crafted of advanced composites or sculpted in additive manufacturing labs, riding on next-generation suspensions and battling it out for lap-time supremacy on some of the world’s greatest testing grounds.
This model, inspired by the track-only GT3, will bring outrageous performance and some novel technology, like an active aerodynamics system and suspension that can adjust both damper compression and spring rate for either road or track.
“This vehicle is going to set a sub-seven-minute ‘Ring time,” Greg Goodall, Ford’s chief program engineer told TechCrunch after the GTD’s unveiling, targeting performance on Germany’s Nurburgring, an ever-present battleground for manufacturer bragging rights.
Lanzador has an unusual shape, a tall coupe that looks to draw in the practicality and comfort of a crossover SUV while still delivering the driving dynamics of a sporty GT with 2+2 seating.
Large and curvaceous, looking a bit like it had been stung by a bee next to the low, sleek Battista and B95, the PURA Vision is a radical departure for the storied designer of many iconic sports cars for other manufacturers.
