2008 Pebble Beach Concours
Pebble Beach Concours is the ultimate end to a Monterey Weekend. Along with the feature classes, many of the top manufacturers are present to reveal new cars. This year, the very best of these new cars were the Veyron Grand Sport and Pininfarina Hyperion.
Last weekend's main event celebrated GM's 100th birthday in a major way. A huge area was reserved for V16s and another for concept cars from the old Motorama series. Other classes included GM powered sports cars and woodies.
We were excited to witness Pebble's first tribute to Lamborghini. It included three excpetional Miuras: the first Prototype, SV Prototype and the recently restored Muira Roadster. These were joined by the P140 and Raptor concepts.
In the end, Jon Shirley's Alfa 2.9 took the Best of Show award following its restoration by Butch Dennison. This magnificent supercar and the rest of Pebble Beach can be found in our comprehensive gallery by Richard Owen, Dirk de Jager and Stephan Bauer.
