10 Best Cars Revealed at 2025 Edition of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering

The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, held yearly during Monterey Car Week, has quickly become the number one place to unveil your new high-dollar supercar or preview what your brand is working on. Where SEMA is a playground for modified Toyotas, The Quail is a high-brow affair where the wealthy fly in on private jets, chequebook in hand, to get their hands on the latest special edition Bugatti, Lamborghini, Gunther Werks, Tuthill, and bid on a few million-dollar cars at the various Mecum, Broad Arrow, and RM Sotheby’s auctions. Here, we’re looking at the best new cars unveiled at the event.

Best Cars Revealed at Monterey Car Week at a Glance

Highlights of the event include:

• Best overall release: Gordon Murray Automotive S1 LM
• Wildest supercar reveal: Lamborghini Fenomeno
• Coolest concept car reveal: Lexus Sport Concept

Now you’ve read the highlights, let’s check out the complete list.

1. Gordon Murray Special Vehicles S1 LM

Price: TBA, very likely significantly more than the USD$3.2 million T.50

Nobody expected Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) to jump onto the supercar restomod trend, but when a client asked him to create his first ever commission under the new Gordon Murray Special Vehicles company, based on one of his greatest designs, he went ahead and created arguably the best restrooms on the planet. Called the Gordon Murray Special Vehicles S1 LM, the similarities to the McLaren F1 are clear visually, but the heart and soul is a unique and exclusive 4.3-litre V12 capable of revving to 12,100 rpm and mated to a manual gearbox developed using the T.50s casing with T.50 internals.

“I love timeless design. I never want us to join the race to make the most outrageous looking supercar at expense of balance, beauty and proportion,” said Professor Gordon Murray, Group Executive Chairman. “Look at the result, the car is timeless and beautiful.”

Of course, this comes at a price so high we’ll never know exactly how much it costs to get one. We do know, however, that only five of these ultra-exclusive, road-legal S1 LM models will be made, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2026.

• Powertrain: Naturally aspirated 4.3-litre Cosworth V12 (T.50/T.50s underpinnings)
• Outputs: “Over 700 PS” (>522 kW), revs beyond 12,000 rpm
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Rear-wheel drive with 6-speed H-pattern manual, T.50 three-seat layout
• Performance: No official figures released

2. Bugatti Brouillard

Price: TBA, reports say USD$20-40 million

Unveiled on the lawns of the Quail Lodge, the one-of-one Bugatti Brouillard made its first-ever global appearance as part of the marques “Programme Solitaire.” This programme takes the ideas of the brands top clients and turns them into a reality, similar to early-20th century coachbuilding, think Galibier, Stelvio, Ventoux and Atalante versions of the original Type 57 chassis.

“The Programme Solitaire was founded to channel the love that passionate collectors, such as the proud owner of the Brouillard, have for honoring all that makes Bugatti unique – while realizing a creation the likes of which no-one has witnessed before,” said Hendrik Malinowski, Managing Director of Bugatti. “Such a work of art and passion fills us with incredible excitement and anticipation for the future. We cannot wait to see where our esteemed customers’ automotive dreams take us next.”

The interior is the best example of this bespoke detailing, highlighted by the hand-crafted sculpture of Brouillard in the gear selector, but also the embroidered horse motifs on the door panels and back seats, made from custom-crafted, tartan fabrics sourced from Paris. It’s a case of dream it, and Bugatti will build it. That’s not green fabric on the interior by the way, it’s rich green-tinted carbon weave contact by a crystal-clear glass roof that goes full cathedral.

Last but certainly not least, while the performance figures haven’t been shared, we do know that the Brouillard squeezes a 1,600 PS quad-turbocharged W16 engine into the bay with an all-new Coupé profile. Expect performance figures to closely resemble the Chiron, meaning 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds, 200 km/h in under 6.5 seconds, and 300 km/h in around 13.5 seconds.

“Seeing the Brouillard presented for the first time in all of its beauty will be an inspiring moment, and an achievement to be celebrated – personally for everyone involved in the project, and for the marque.”

3. Lamborghini Fenomeno

Price: from USD$3.5 million

The Lamborghini Fenomeno is latest supercar added to the brands “Few Off” collection, joining the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián, and Countach, which have all been sell-out successes for the brand. Where those cars were showcases of the future, the Fenomeno takes the existing Revuelto up a notch, with more power, precision, and grace that now make it the fastest Lamborghini ever, both in the 0-100 km/h sprint, accomplished in 2.4 seconds, and in the 0-200 km/h sprint, achieved in just 6.7 seconds. If you’re game enough, the top speed is over 350 km/h.

To accomplish these feats, the Fenomeno takes total power up to 1,080 CV, with a record 835 CV provided by the naturally aspirated V12 engine and a further 245 CV developed by the three electric motors. That’s matched by 6D sensors for the chassis and CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes, which are things you typically find in racecars.

“When we presented the Reventón in 2007, our goal was to create a truly superlative super sports car that represented the ultimate expression of what Lamborghini stood for,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “This new few-off carries forward the same philosophy of distinction and innovation that is a fundamental part of our DNA.”

“Fenomeno is an extraordinary car in terms of performance, style and disruptive representation of Lamborghini, created to celebrate the value and achievements of our brand, and dedicated to those customers who expect the utmost exclusivity from us,” continued Winkelmann. “But beyond its extraordinary design and power, the Fenomeno is the few-off that, more than any other in Lamborghini’s history, introduces innovative technical solutions to make the driving experience truly unique.”

While pricing hasn’t been revealed, reports are that the Lamborghini Fenomeno will cost upwards of USD$3.5 million. Frankly, if your retailer hasn’t reached out to you already, there’s no chance you’ll get one.

• Powertrain: Hybrid V12 with three electric motors
• Outputs: 1,080 CV (805 kW) combined
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Electrified AWD with front e-axle torque vectoring and 8-speed DCT
• Performance: 0-100 km/h 2.4s, 0-200 km/h 6.7s, top speed >350 km/h

4. Tuthill Meyers Manx LFG

Price: TBA, but the car is limited to just 100 units

The supercars steal the show, but the enthusiasts pick for best car reveal at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is this Tuthill Meyers Manx LFG. It’s what happens when you put a Porsche-derived 4.0-litre flat-six that revs up to 11,000 rpm into a Meyers Manx. If you’re unfamiliar, the Manx is a fibreglass dune buggy, loosely based on a Volkswagen Beetle. This one, however, has been beefed up to the point that it has a fully air-conditioned enclosed cabin and Baja-like suspension.

While specific details are still to be shared, we do know that part of the ownership experience is access to planned driving adventures across the globe for six years. The first drive will two years from now, with the inaugural LFG Baja Tour to mark the 50th anniversary of Meyers Manx’s historic victory in the first Baja 1000.

“This project started as a dream between my long-time pal Richard and me, who are constantly in pursuit of the ultimate expression of freedom and performance. We came together to imagine the perfect Meyers Manx, and after we laid the foundation, we invited our friend Freeman Thomas to bring his design brilliance to Tuthill’s incredible engineering capability. The result is exactly what we sought: raw, visceral, novel, and totally uncompromising. We call it LFG for a reason…” said Phillip Sarofim

“We crave experiences that we can look back on for the rest of our lives,” said Richard Tuthill. “We now have an amazing car to help us to create these memories in a unique way. The car looks fun, mischievous, it has a character that I have genuinely never seen or felt. And underneath it’s proper. Could we go to the moon and back in it? Probably. It has the capability to go wherever we point it, and we can do it safely and comfortably. In 2 minutes, it transforms from a fully air-conditioned enclosed cabin to a doorless buggy where the wind provides all the air we need. It’s very special and I can’t wait to get started.”

• Powertrain: Porsche-derived 4.0-litre flat-six (up to 11,000 rpm)
• Outputs: Up to ~350 hp (261 kW), spec-dependent
• Drivetrain/Transmission: 4WD, 6-speed sequential, front/center/rear LSDs
• Performance: N/A

5. Gordon Murray Special Vehicles Le Mans GTR

Price: TBA, very likely significantly more than the USD$3.2 million T.50

Gordon Murray didn’t unveil one, but two McLaren F1-inspired resto-mods during Monterey Car Week. The first was the aforementioned Gordon Murray Special Vehicles S1 LM, and the second is this Gordon Murray Special Vehicles Le Mans GTR. This model makes use of the high-revving GMA V12 engine and manual six-speed transmission, but changes almost every other element of the car in search of track precision.

The longtail design finds maximum ground effect with plenty of functional vents, including a roof-mounted ram-air intake. Meanwhile, stiffer and lighter suspension, a wider track, larger tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2), greater cooling, and optimised weight distribution are incorporated. Driver-focused components are found inside that go above and beyond the T.50 where the entire dash, all switches and dials, seat cushioning, and pedal pads are reimagined.

“Longtail racing cars perfectly combine aerodynamic benefit and aesthetic balance, I’ve always loved their mix of considered engineering and flowing design,” said Professor Gordon Murray, Group Executive Chairman. “Our Le Mans GTR timelessly reimagines the longtail racers I’ve admired since I began designing cars, adding contemporary aerodynamics and our exquisitely engineered chassis, engine, and transmission.”

Like many of the cars on this list a limited series of just 24 GMSV Le Mans GTR supercars will be built, one for every hour of the Le Mans 24 Hour race. Development is already underway with the first customer production cars set for completion in 2026, and all cars have been spoken for with prices undisclosed.

• Powertrain: V-12 (new platform) with longtail aero and Passive Boundary Layer Control.
• Outputs: 641 hp (approx. 478 kW).
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Rear-wheel drive with 6-speed manual.
• Performance: N/A

6. Karma Automotive Amaris

Price: from approx. USD$200,000

Pronounced “uh-MAH-ris” and made by the new and improved Karma Automotive group, the Amaris is a good-looking thing. While the name is a mess and the 400+ miles of range, 165 mph, and 708 HP figures don’t jump off the page, the overall design is gorgeous as ever, with a clear link to the original Fiskar Karma in the lowslung bonnet, but also the “Comet Line” which spans the entire width of the vehicle. Quite frankly, it looks like they took a Maserati GranTurismo Folgore to the gym and put it on a solid dose of testosterone. Sharp, edgy, and aggressive.

• Powertrain: Next-gen Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) with 41.5 kWh battery
• Outputs: 708 hp, 676 lb-ft
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Not disclosed
• Body/Chassis: Aluminum spaceframe with carbon composite/aluminum body panels
• Performance: 0-60 mph 3.5 s, top speed 165 mph, EV range 100+ miles, total range 400+ miles

7. Gunther Werks Project F-26

Price: from USD$1.57 million

Sharknose! Name your new car after a fighter jet and you have our attention, but give it a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre flat-six co-developed by Rothsport Racing that produces 1,000 air-cooled horsepowers and our ears really prick-up.

True to their ethos, Gunther Werks has taken a 993-spec 911 and turned it up to 15 out of 10, with silly power, torque, and a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited slip diff to try and keep it all 1,225kg under control. Where the magic happens, however, is with the F-26’s chassis. It’s been given a blue pill, making it 200 per cent stiffer compared to a base 993, and longer, too. You’ll also find carbon ceramic brakes all round (six piston up front, four on the back), magnesium 18-inch wheels, and a big ol’ wing at the back.

The project is very reminiscent of the 935, namely because of the sharknose. However, it doesn’t stop their as Gunther has added carbon fibre body panels and doors alongside that bespoke carbon-fibre front-end and headlights.

If GW hasn’t reached out already, you’ve probably missed out on the 26 Project F-26 cars they’ll build. But in case you’re asking, they start at USD$1,570,000 before customisation.

• Powertrain: Twin-turbo 4.0-litre air-cooled flat-six with race-derived flat fan.
• Outputs: 1,000 bhp (approx. 746 kW), 750 lb-ft
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Rear-wheel drive, 6-speed manual with limited-slip differential.
• Performance: TBA

8. Lexus Sport Concept

Price: TBA

We don’t know much about the Lexus Sport Concept, but it was unveiled at The Quail and it looks quite promising. Interestingly, it’s different to the GT-Based Lexus LFR that we saw running around Goodwood, and some have suggested that it might even be all-electric. What we do know, however, it that it’s a stunning two door GT and the world is better when these cars are around.

• Powertrain: TBA
• Outputs: TBA
• Drivetrain/Transmission: TBA
• Performance: TBA

9. Cadillac Elevated Velocity

Price: TBA

We don’t usually bother with concept cars because they hardly ever become a reality, but Cadillac is different. They’ve proved that they’re willing to put their low-production, high-dollar cars into production with the ultra-luxury Cadillac CELESTIQ, and the new Cadillac Elevated Velocity could be the next. This high-riding coupe-SUV has “hyper-performance capability” that allows you to explore beyond the pavement. Whether you’d ever want to do that in such a sleek, expensive vehicle is another question, but the same could be said for cars like Range-Rovers.

Two drive modes are featured, the first being “Elevate,” which optimises performance recovery and the state of being through comfort-focused features. Second is “Velocity Mode,” which leans into the vehicles lifted stance and lets you explore beyond the blacktop.

• Powertrain: TBA
• Outputs: TBA
• Drivetrain/Transmission: TBA
• Performance: TBA

10. Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution LF

Price: from approx. $3 million

To put it simply, the Venom F5 LF is most expensive, complex, highest spec Hennessey hypercar ever built. Oh, and it’s also the world’s most powerful internal combustion road car.

Most importantly for the sake of the brand, it’s a one-of-one vehicle that introduces Hennessey’s bespoke customer commission division ‘Maverick’. It does so by showing the world a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces more than 2,000 HP and send it all to the rear wheels through a 6-speed gated manual transmission. It’s absurd, and the man crazy enough to commission this thing is car collector and American Entrepreneur, Louis Florey, who personally specified every bespoke element, including the unique aerodynamic package and Cocoa Brown exposed carbon fibre.

“When our customers have a dream, we work to make their dreams come true,” said John Hennessey, company founder and CEO. “Exceeding customer expectations is a badge of honor. Our new ‘Maverick’ division enables our customers to take our American Hypercar to a totally new dimension. I see it as the ultimate expression of the American Dream!”

Hennessey has delivered 32 customer cars, but those that have already taken delivery can upgrade their model to the Evolution specification and feel the full 2,031 HP.

• Powertrain: 6.6-litre twin-turbo V8 “Fury” (one-off manual specification)
• Outputs: 2,031 hp (≈1,515 kW)
• Drivetrain/Transmission: Rear-wheel drive with all-new gated 6-speed manual
• Performance: Program target top speed >300 mph (F5 Evolution enhancements)
