Pininfarina-designed 1984 Honda HP-X concept will make its North American debut at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

HP-X was very innovative, with extensive use of lightweight materials and futuristic features like...

Honda's Vision Of The Future Has Arrived... 40 Years Late

Odds are, this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will be won by yet another Nazi car, but there should also be some legitimately cool stuff there, as well. In fact, there’s an entire Wedge-Shaped Concept Cars and Prototypes class this year, and one of the cars being entered is the 1984 Honda HP-X concept. Originally designed by Pininfarina, the HP-X made its first appearance at the 1984 Turin Auto Show and largely disappeared until now, which is a shame because this thing is rad as hell.

In 50 years, enthusiasts will praise the MC20 as one of the most significant cars in Maserati's history. It inaugurated the fantastic 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 that has since spread to other members of the range, it ushered in a new design language, and it brought the Italian brand back to racing after a long hiatus. Now, it's about to spawn a new super-sports car designed to bridge the gap between street cars and race cars.

If you’re into 125cc mini motorcycles, you must be familiar with the Honda Trail 125.

The Bugatti Type 57S is widely regarded as one of the most iconic cars to be produced by the French marque. With only 42 units ever made, the elegant grand tourer is also one of the rarest. However, a few examples among them are simply more special than the rest. It doesn’t get more exclusive and desirable than this spectacular Pebble Beach–winning 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante. It is one of the 17 Type 57S cars that features Atalante coachwork, which was designed in-house by Jean Bugatti and built in Molsheim. The car’s provenance further adds to its desirability. The Atalante is up for auction next month during Monterey Car Week, giving collectors a rare chance to acquire this piece of automotive history.

This 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, a Pebble Beach-winning classic and one of the brand’s most iconic creations, is on auction and may sell for more than $11 million.

Pininfarina has plans to become a manufacturer of electric vehicles, but it hasn’t forgotten its design and coachbuilding roots. The Italian company will use 2024 Monterey Car Week on later this month to present the latest in a long line of coachbuilt specials that include standouts like the Ferrari Enzo-based P4/5 by Pininfarina and Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe-based Hyperion, and more recent Morgan Midsummer.

Honda’s Passport is due for replacement any day now, and now we know that day—well, at least, the general time of year when that day will land (even if we were one model year off!). Honda has announced that the next-generation Passport SUV will arrive early next year, a timeline that we’ve long suspected given the Passport’s three-row Pilot sibling was just redesigned for 2024. It was only a matter of time before the Passport, effectively Honda’s two-row Pilot, would see the same upgrade.

The Alfa Romeo Junior has had a rather tumultuous start to life. Launched as the Milano but produced far away from its namesake, all the way in Poland, Italian officials quickly took issue with the name. That part of the world considers its heritage and culture sacred, so the compact EV is now known as the Junior. Designed for European markets, it now has a small chance of being sold in the United States, reports Automotive News Europe (ANE). First, dealers need to see it in the metal.

The BMW i5 Touring is competing in a rarified segment considering there are only a handful of electric wagons.
