Retrofuturism at its Finest
Morgans have always had a niche appeal, but we have a sneaking suspicion that Malvern’s latest flagship, the Supersport, might just be destined for superstardom. Powered by BMW’s B58 3-litre turbocharged straight-six and built around a bonded aluminium structure with double-wishbone suspension, it combines just enough modern tech with that classical Morgan silhouette we all love. Performance is impressive too: with 335 horsepower on tap and a impressively lightweight frame of just 1170kg, the Supersport will hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds and top out at 166mph. More than enough grunt for your next grand tour, we think you’ll agree!
Going Loco for Lugano
If you asked us to describe our ideal daily driver, we would instead just send you the link to this incredible 992.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. The de-winged variant of the GT3 has always been immensely desirable, and this example’s Lugano Blue paintwork which reminds us of the Audi RS2's iconic shade of Nogaro Blue only adds to that, especially with fabric seat inserts and those classy silver wheels. Even better, it has a full Bose sound system, but with a 503 horsepower 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six providing the soundtrack, we doubt you’ll ever need to use it.
Oh My Gandini!
If you ask us, some of Marcello Gandini’s greatest work can be seen on the incredible Maserati Shamal, but finding one to add to your collection is no easy task with only 369 units ever built. Luckily, this perfect Dazzling Black example is heading to Gooding Christie’s Retromobile Paris sale on January 29th and with a mere 29,844 km on the clock, you’re unlikely to find a better specimen any time soon. Fitted with a glorious light grey leather interior and a 3.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, this is among Maserati’s greatest creations in our eyes.
One Magnificent Mondial
For decades, the Ferrari Mondial has been considered one of Maranello’s most underwhelming creations, but we think it’s time this plucky Prancing Horse got a little more respect. Here to change your mind is this gorgeous Verde Scuro over tan 1990 Mondial T Cabriolet with just 55,708 km on the odometer. This car isn’t about performance, it’s about pure style, because nobody can pretend to be Michael Schumacher in a car that did 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds when it was brand new. We say pick a sunny day, drop the top, keep the revs low, and enjoy the thrum of that 3.4-litre V8 knowing that you won’t win any drag races, and that’s ok!
Range Topper
If you wanted a luxury SUV in the 1990s, the original Range Rover was pretty much your only real option. But what if that just wasn’t exclusive enough? In the case of the Brunei Royal Family, the solution came from London-based coachbuilder Vantagefield, who hand-crafted this incredible machine: the Range Rover Chamois. Equipped with a white fully lined, power-operated soft-top, Vantagefield’s excellent work could easily have been mistaken for a factory offering. Finished in black over a dazzling white leather interior, this unique Range Rover shows only 41,406 miles and will be heading to RM Sotheby’s Arizona sale on January 23rd.
