Monterey Car Week 2021 is upon us and auctions will highlight the festivities throughout the weekend, the first auctions will kick off today (August 12th).
We have taken the liberty to compile a list of 10 hypercars that will be going under the hummer in the next few days, among them are stars from the 90s as well as those from the current era. The auctions will have all sorts of cars ranging from motorsport to road legal cars. Those into the pre war era will have a chance to bid for some very unique cars including those that need a bit of work as they are barn finds.
For now, lets see if this list gets you as excited as we are!
