577 Horsepower 161 mph Top Speed (electronically limited) 4.0 sec 0-60 mph When Mercedes and AMG decided to revamp the high-strung GT Coupe onto a shared platform with the SL-Class two-door, a serious question arose: would the GT soften up or the SL get sportier? Well, the SL definitely leans toward the firmer end of the grand touring spectrum, leaving the real answer to arrive from Maybach, which arguably built the very best SL variant possible by leaning further into the brand’s unique luxury ethos. Most importantly, the Maybach SL 680 commits to a dedicated two-seat layout rather than a 2+2 with vestigial perches that are barely useful for even small children, pets, or parcel storage behind the front row. This decision creates significantly more legroom up front for the…

Apple CarPlay has been something of a godsend for those folks who find themselves regularly switching between vehicles. The consistent interface and compatibility with most of the apps you use regularly not only adds convenience, but it helps remove the distraction of hunting for functions in a factory infotainment system while you’re driving. Apple and Aston Martin thought they could do better, and so on June 25, 2025, rolled out Apple CarPlay Ultra to all 2023-and-up models. What is Apple CarPlay Ultra? It allows the CarPlay experience to move from just a vehicle’s center screen to the instrument screen, all while adding increased functionality. For example, previously, accessing climate control, radio and vehicle settings would require a driver to navigate out of CarPlay, into the native infotainment system and make…

CODENAMED “PROJECT: ENDURANCE,” THIS EXCLUSIVE OFFERING IS A GROUND-BREAKING COLLABORATION BETWEEN MCLAREN’S RACE TEAM AND ITS SUPERCAR DIVISION. The door closes. Ambient sounds fall away.

These elements echo bespoke…

The brutalist EXP 15 debuts on the brink of Bentley’s deferred entry into electrification. The blocky one-off departs from the brand’s curvaceous past, wearing a new design language that’s magisterial, rectilinear, and more menacing than we’re accustomed to seeing from the Winged B. As with many such efforts, the EXP 15 isn’t a literal representation of Bentley’s first pure EV anticipated to break cover in 2026. But it does signal a potential style direction for the 106-year-old carmaker and has managed to ruffle a few feathers in the process – as any good pot-stirrer should. Our preview at the automaker’s newly refreshed design HQs in Crewe revealed a rich backstory that explains Bentley’s shift away from sensuous concept cars like the low-slung EXP 100 GT. Unlike the smaller-than-a-Bentayga EV crossover…

Second Star Homer, Alaska 2+ Acres Accomodates 24-30 Guests Price: $9,500,000 There’s something deeply American about the idea of staking a claim in the wilderness, and few places capture that spirit quite like Alaska. That dream of owning something raw, remote, and real still resonates, and Fay Ranches—led in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska by Troy Dana—has helped make that dream a reality for decades. With deep experience across Washington and Alaska, Troy brings a special blend of frontier expertise and brokerage insight to the table, shaped by a life spent navigating rivers, coastlines, and complex land transactions. Before his real estate career, Troy was a licensed tugboat captain operating on the Yukon River and coastal Alaska, from the Arctic Ocean to Prince William Sound. That firsthand connection to the…

The 1970s and ’80s were a distinct time in automotive history, and being the decades in which some of the first supercars emerged, it was a time that defined a genre that has been pushed significantly forward since. Despite the exotic hypercars of today boasting ultra-luxurious features, cutting-edge innovation, and striking design, many automotive enthusiasts and car collectors still have passionate nostalgia for retro supercars, and rightfully so. Whether it be for their brawny powertrains or purist rear-wheel drive and manual transmissions, old-school supercars have undeniably timeless appeal, but one of the most distinct aspects of their appeal is the ubiquitous prevalence of a monolithic, wedge-shaped silhouette throughout the industry. One of the designers who is most known for penning vehicles with the ultra-simplistic wedge shape is Giorgetto Giugiaro, having…

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of its maiden Formula 1 victory, Honda Racing Corporation partnered with world-renowned model maker Amalgam Collection to recreate one of its most historically significant racing cars – this time in 1:8 and 1:18 scale. The RA272, which claimed Japan’s first-ever Grand Prix win in 1965, will be revealed in exquisitely detailed miniature form at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week. The original story began in 1963, when motorcycle giant Honda Motor Co. produced its first automobile, the T360 mini pickup. Within a year, Honda entered F1 with a fully in-house car and engine program. By 1965, in just its second season of competition, the brand achieved its breakthrough. That historic moment came at the Mexican Grand Prix, held at Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena…

duPont REGISTRY: What was your overarching vision when curating the 75th anniversary F1 display for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion? Ellen Bireley: First of all, I wanted to get cars from every decade. I wanted to get cars that were evolutionary; key to the development of F1 through the decades and progressed its technology. I wanted ones from the very start, and one that was the most recent. From the 1950s, I have cars with highly significant history from Mercedes, Maserati, BRM, Cooper, and Vanwall. Then I reached out to Zak [Brown, McLaren Racing’s CEO], literally two weeks after McLaren won the 2024 Constructors’ Championship, and said: “Hey, what’s the possibility of getting Lando Norris’s car?” And I was fully expecting him to say, “Sorry, it’s going to be super busy…
