Monterey car week 2025 USA

Monterey Car Week takes place every year in mid-August on the US Pacific coast. Around the town of Monterey, located 140 kilometres south of San Francisco, the car world then comes up with countless top events. One of the best known is the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which always closes Car Week on a Sunday. While judges assess classic cars in new condition at the Concours d'Elegance, supercar manufacturers also showcase their latest vehicles at the even more exclusive and expensive event ‘The Quail’. Otherwise, ‘The Quail’ simply brings together the cream of all car collections. The relaxed counter-event to the top acts is the Concours d'Lemons, where tart but beloved and definitely drivable scrap cars compete against each other, while the numerous events such as the German car meet Legends of the Autobahn and its Italian sister Concorso Italiano are no less popular. During Monterey Car Week, drivers of brands such as Ferrari and Porsche also meet up, and auction houses such as RM Sotheby's, Gooding & Company, Bonhams and Mecum auction off selected rare and extremely expensive classic cars on site. Records are regularly broken here; Bonhams auctioned a Ferrari 412P Berlinetta for 30.255 million US dollars during Monterey Car Week in 2023. In total, several hundred cars regularly fetch several hundred million dollars at the auctions. Meanwhile, on the Laguna Seca Raceway, 16 kilometres from Monterey, classic motorsport racing cars are constantly racing against each other, and Monterey and Pebble Beach are usually the time for small series manufacturers to present their latest, usually highly exclusive and expensive models. However, more and more high-volume manufacturers are also using the exclusive environment to present new products. The Californian event is thus presenting itself more and more as an alternative to the classic car shows in closed exhibition halls, the decline of which has been observed worldwide for years.
