Bugatti launched its Grand Sport at the ultra exclusive Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The headline event of the weekend might be the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance (held on Sunday) but the weekend kicks off with the Quail Event on Friday, which brings a beautiful collection of classic and modern cars together for the public to enjoy. Well, I say public but entry to this event costs $250 per person but for that you get free drinks and the choice of several spectacular buffet areas you can graze at during the day.

Saturday and Sunday sees classic car racing at Leguna Seca raceway, just a few miles up the road from Pebble Beach. To give you a taste as to why this is a must-see weekend for all car enthusiasts at least once in their life, here’s a selection of photos from this year’s festivities.

The two videos, below, were taken from the same event. The first reveals celebrity J. Leno's 'Tank' car (seeing is believing...); the other a series of clips showing the Bugatti Grand Sport unveiling, removing and replacing the hood and the record auction which followed.
