Carmel, California – 16 August 2024
1. Various of customized cars on display at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kai Lermen, managing director, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering:
"Once a year, we turn it into the mecca of Car Week, where everybody will corral and enjoy the most significant cars, enjoy their day in the leisurely garden party atmosphere, where they can roam around, see incredible cars, vintage as well as brand-new, what comes just out. We have a whole bunch of reveals, about 19 this year, first seen, never seen before."
3. Lamborghini Temerario unveiling
4. Ruf Rodeo unveiling
5. Rolls Royce Phantom Scintilla unveiling
6. Automobili Pininfarina’s Batman-inspired B95 Gotham unveiling
7. Various of B95 Gotham, including Bruce Wayne signature
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Amantea, chief design officer, Automobili Pininfarina:
"Automobili Pininfarina is the official brand to represent Mr. Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman. So, in 85 years, never Warner Bros released a license for it. We choose together because, of course, our inspiration was coming from exactly the Dark Knight movie, and we fell in love with."
9. Various of Pininfarina Batista unveiling
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Amantea, chief design officer, Automobili Pininfarina
"I think for the B95, we are talking about 4.9 (million dollars) and for the Batista is 3.4 (million dollars)."
11. California-based Czinger’s first sold production car
12. SOUNDBITE (English) David O’Connell, chief design officer, Czinger Vehicles:
"The big news for us here is with the car you see over across to my right, which is our first car number one production vehicle. This is a sold unit that’s going to a customer. That’s huge news for us as a new car company. And we’re just super excited about that. And then immediately behind me is the 21C, which was just finished in a clear carbon called Rattlesnake Green. This car just set the uphill track record at Goodwood Festival of Speed last July."
13. Various of Czinger 21C
14. SOUNDBITE (English) David O’Connell, chief design officer, Czinger Vehicles:
"So, the approximate price point starting out is about 2.4 (million dollars), which is pretty reasonable in the hypercar market, and it’s really reasonable for a car that delivers on this kind of performance."
15. Croatian hypercar maker Rimac’s Nevera R hypercar
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Mate Rimac, founder & CEO, Rimac Group:
"So, this is the Rimac Nevera R. It’s a new generation of our car, which is the most powerful electric car, but also the most powerful production car, in general, 2100 horsepower."
17. Various of Rimac Nevera R
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Mate Rimac, founder & CEO, Rimac Group:
"Well, our opinion is that electric cars have to be better in almost everything compared to combustion cars. It’s not good, in our view, to push this by regulation. You have to actually make added value to the customer. They have to be better, more spacious, more comfortable, longer range, maybe more affordable, which is maybe ridiculous for this price range of cars. But we show what’s possible with this kind of car, for example, four electric motors, one for each wheel. The dynamics that you can achieve that you cannot simply achieve with a traditional power train, and that’s what we are trying to do here."
19. Nevera 5 wing door closing
20. SOUNDBITE (English) Mate Rimac, founder & CEO, Rimac Group:
21. Various of Maserati GT2 Stradale unveiling
