Cem-- That means much, considering the source
...an eye for art, your passion to boldly transform your C4S into a jaw-dropping GT2, & then drive it - internationally.
BTW, when will it be in the States?
Much appreciated: definitely an investment of time to share these, but well worth it with words like yours.

Hopefully I've communicated a fraction of the automotive amazement offered during Car Week.
It's a non-stop time of enjoyable excess of friendly folks with shared interests

EBD-- A great quote I learned from you:
"Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit."
Can't wait 'til our paths cross for an occasion of 993 exhilaration

In the meantime: more Monterey!
What better way than the 918 Spyder, with a prime parking spot by Pebble Beach's concept car showcase...

Lamborghini Veneno

In the year of its 50th anniversary Automobili Lamborghini presented an extremely exclusive model at Pebble Beach. Only three unique units of the Veneno will be built and sold. Its design is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornering stability, giving the Veneno the real dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet it is fully homologated for the road. With a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp, the Veneno accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and the top speed for this street-legal racing car stands at 355 km/h.

It is priced at three million Euros plus tax – and all three units have already been sold to customers. More on Lambo's T-tailed Veneno.

Speaking of menacing presence, this beast is the Laraki Epitome.

At the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Laraki Designs from California unveiled their Epitome supercar based on a Corvette C6 chassis. They hope to build these in a small batch. The $2,000,000 price tag will likely help keep the numbers very low.
