1931 Alfa Romeo Monza 8C 2300

The 1931 Alfa Romeo Monza 8C 2300 won the Le Mans championship back in 1931 and 1934, establishing itself as one of the most successful racing cars Alfa Romeo has ever produced. It was so successful, in fact, that a version of this car also took first and second place at the 1931 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, thereby earning the ’Monza’ nickname that it has been associated with since then. All told, the car won over 50 races in its time, including another 1-2 finish at the Monaco Grand Prix, while being raced by some of the best race car drivers of that era, including Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari, Baconin Borzacchini, and Rudolf Caracciola.

1964 Ferrari 250 LM

Another designed classic by Pininfarina with coachwork by Scaglietti, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM was limited to only 32 units. Just like its contemporaries, this particular Ferrari is noted for its extensive racing history, including a thrilling victory at the 1965 Austrian Grand Prix with driver Jochen Rindt behind its wheel. Today, the car is expected to fetch somewhere north of seven digits if and when one of the 32 models are auctioned off.

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO

Widely regarded as the greatest sports car of all time, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the standard-bearer to which all other Ferrari models are compared to. The Italian automaker only built 39 models of this bad boy - 33 of the "normal" cars, three 330 LMB models, and three "Type 64" cars with revised bodywork - and has since grown in stature as not only the greatest sports car of all time, but also the most expensive one at that. An auction of the V12 302 horsepower machine held last May was sold by RM Auctions for an staggering $25 million.

1938 Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupe

If you thought the $25 million price tag for the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO was jaw-dropping, there’s one more car that actually sold more than the iconic Ferrari.

The Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic Coupe.

Designed and built by Jean Bugatti with a goal of creating the ultimate high-speed grand touring car, the 57 SC Atlantic Coupe ended up being so much more than that. Only four of the this cars were made based on the "Aérolithe" concept car of 1935, which featured flowing coupe lines and a pronounced dorsal seam creating using Elektron and Duralumin for the body panels. Of the four models that were built, only two are still in existence today; the Williamson Bugatti which won the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and one that is in Ralph Lauren’s private collection.

So how much exactly did this model sell at an auction last year? Try $30-40 million.

2011 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere

It’s a little strange, but true. Yamaha has announced the addition of a new color to their XT1200Z Super Tenere: Competition White. It’s not a new cycle by any means, but we guess purists will love the idea. This new snowy motorcycle will go on sale later this spring, but potential buyers can check it and other Yamaha bikes in Yamaha dealership right now. It seems the bike manufacturer has taken customers’ requests to heart and sent out a number of demonstrator XT1200Z Super Ténérés to dealerships for the customers’ review. This will enable riders to experience the versatile and exciting 1200cc parallel twin Adventure motorcycle for themselves.

Using the evocative Yamaha racing livery on the most contemporary motorcycle in the Yamaha stable, this model’s graphic treatment clearly celebrates the company’s 50 years in racing. The company’s adventure heritage was recently underpinned by Helder Rodregez, who secured a very brave 3rd position in the 2011 Dakar rally on his WR450F.

The 2011 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere comes with traction control, ABS, and a linked braking system. For the 2011 model year, customers will not have to place a reservation on the internet as they have had to do in the past, making the purchase of this bike that much more pleasant.
