>One of only 30 six-speed manual transmission examplesWhy in the fuck would you option your Ferrari with anything other than an H-Gate when they consistently triple in value after the decade? Everyone who went for the Graziano Trasmissioni "F1" semi-auto tranny is a retard. 599s aren't even in THAT high of a demand and they are still beating the stock market as investments when sold with a manual.https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo24/lots/r0071-2007-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano/Also Kaz will be at Pebble Beach again this year, instead of sending a rep like last time.
Car launches for the event look kind of meh. The wood interior of the Cadillac will be interesting to see up close even with the terrible screens.
They weren't desirable at the time and sold for cheaper for years after they were new. This is like asking why buy an F1 599 in 2007 instead of Apple stock. Dumbass.
Also Lamborghini will present their next "poor person" model to replace the Huracan/Gallardohttps://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-events/monterey-car-week/2024/
Hagerty Auctions will be offering 5 Miuras.https://www.hagerty.com/media/market-trends/hagerty-insider/miura-mania-at-the-2024-monterey-auctions/
And for the good stuff: the 1911 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost Open Drive Limousine "The Dreamer" by Grosvenor Predicted to pull $450,000 - $650,000 USDhttps://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo24/lots/r0003-1911-rollsroyce-4050-hp-silver-ghost-open-drive-limousine-the-dreamer-by-grosvenor/
>the Mercedes-Benz 540 K, inarguably one of the finest and most beautiful cars ever to come from Stuttgart. Engineered by Hans Nibel, the 540 K boasted a pushrod overhead-valve inline eight-cylinder engine, displacing 5,401 cubic centimeters and equipped with a double-vane Roots-type supercharger.>Subsequent owners included Japanese collector Nachiro Ishikawa, who maintained the car in California but occasionally journeyed with it to Europe; reportedly he drove it twice in the famed Monte Carlo Historic Rally, finishing 1st in the event in both 1991 and 1994. In the mid-1990s he sold the car to the longtime Mercedes-Benz procurer, Thomas Taffet, who would become its next longtime owner and caretaker.$1,800,000 - $2,200,000 USD
>>27839929rich women and jew dentists cant drive stick. out of every 1000 ferrari made, 1 might get driven properly. theyre jewlery to show off at the country club.
>>27839988How did you get mogged by a small town dentist? Stop doing heroin and get a job.
>>27839929I don't think anyone thought they'd stop making manual transmissions altogether. The 599, while still a 'sports car', leans a bit more towards the grand tourer side of things where it might get bought by someone wanting a more dailyable, comfortable coupe.>>27839988>rich women and jew dentistsIt's actually influencers, tech bros, rappers and athletes none of which know how to drive stick. It's why McLaren, Lamborghini, and Ferrari all don't produce a single manual transmission vehicle anymore. Yeah, they're faster to shift and all that, but most modern supercars have very little motorsport cachet anymore so that's not an excuse. Sales and availability of new manual-transmission Porsches actually catered towards enthusiasts shows this.
>>27839954GOT DAYUM that's a pretty car.
