The Million Dollar Highway goes from Silverton to Ouray in the Rockie Mountains of Colorado. The name was given because it supposedly cost more than a million dollars per mile to build. It is a spectacular road to drive and it is also very scenic, but there are often no guardrails and the canyons are hundreds of feet deep.

Hill Climb Monsters: This is a remake of one of our first (and favorite…) videos, the participation of Spanish Rally driver Ivan Ares on Fito Hill Climb 2016 with his old Porsche 997 GT3 Rally. It is a true masterclass of driving ability, taking the 450Hp/9.000Rpm NA machine to the very limit on every corner, on a wet course, and never afraid to go sideways.

The reason we are remaking this clip was the fact Mr. Ares finally made the onboard footage of that incredible run available. Nothing really puts into perspective how incredible it was and how much of a deft touch was needed to maneuver the rear-engined German machine in the narrow Spanish Hill climb. And we believe our subscribers will appreciate it…

BY Danel Strohl, Hemmings: if this were a normal year, the race calendar would be winding down about this time anyway, so it’s a perfect time to sit back and catch up on last year’s La Carrera Panamericana via this beautifully shot and expertly produced documentary from director Jeremy Heslup. Rather than an outsider’s look in, the documentary features narration from Manuel Iguinez, a co-driver in the race’s Turismo Mayor class, follows the race each step of the way from Oaxaca to Durango, describes the route in detail, and features interviews with many of the other drivers and co-drivers.

Top Gear: From the Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s off-road capabilities to the standard Chiron’s 261mph limited top speed, one thing unites all of these expensive machines: you’ll probably find them wafting slowly through London’s Knightsbridge instead. So let Chris Harris look past the glamour, and explore these cars properly.

Below are some pictures from the 2020 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, as well as pictures from other activities such as Porsche Werks Reunion and the Tour d’Elegance. Enjoy!

Petrolicious: The F40 ranks among the most recognizable and beloved road cars ever produced, and so there is very little new left to say about the machine itself—we all know that it is a potent performer, a spartan go-kart powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 nestled up between tires of construction site proportions. But cars that attain levels of popularity like the F40 has don’t become any less special the more we fantasize about them, and though the spec sheet might be committed to the memories of many a supercar enthusiast, each example has its own story. In the case of Jasbir Dhillon, this F40 is woven into the fabric of his life beyond the excitement that it provides to the lucky soul in the driver’s seat. It’s a means to bond with his family, a link to his childhood and his past, and as something well beyond the definition of an inanimate object, it’s a piece of his being that he has plans to hold onto well into the future.
