CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (August 18, 2024) – The 73rd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was the event at its best. The sky over the Monterey Peninsula was blue, interrupted only by the occasional cloud. A light breeze wafted through the air along with Vivaldi concertos. The immaculate paint of the entrants glistened under rippling banners. When confetti guns celebrating Best of Show went pop, a weather-beaten Bugatti race car roared its way across the stage, driven by Fritz Burkard from Zug, Switzerland. The combination made history: Burkard is the first overseas owner to win Best of Show at Pebble Beach, and his car—a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports—is the first preservation-class car to capture the prestigious award.

ATLANTA (August 16, 2024) – Since 1954, Speedster variants have been part of the Porsche company history. They combine open driving pleasure with particularly expressive driving dynamics. The car is characterized by a two-seat layout, a unique cowl and shortened windshield. But there is a gap in the model history of the 911. Porsche offered 911 Speedster variants of the G-Series (second generation) and Type 964 (third generation), but with the exception of two one-offs and, much later, a model rebuilt as part of a factory restoration, there was no Speedster from the fourth generation of the 911, the Type 993, in the regular model program. So, Porsche enthusiast, designer and Speedster collector Luca Trazzi realized his dream of a Type 993 911 Speedster with help from the Sonderwunsch program. The result is a one-off car based entirely on the personal vision of the designer. Continue reading
