McLaren F1 and others headed for Bonhams auction and new BMW M8 GTE racer ...

British auctioneer Bonhams have announced this McLaren F1 as the headliner for next month's Quail Lodge Auction. The consigned car is a superb one-owner example of one of the greatest sports cars of all time. It was picked by the owner at the factory and used for a road trip through Europe first before being shipped to the United States. Chassis 044 is the first of seven cars imported new into the United States and has survived in unmodified, original condition. Bonhams have not posted an estimate but we reckon, a bid of around $15 million will be required to meet the reserve.
Among the many other great cars consigned to the sale are some Italian grand tourers of the 1950s and and 1960s. For Ferrari enthusiasts, there is the choice of a freshly restored 250 GT Boano or a fine example of the second series 400 Superamerica Aerodinamico Coupe. Also consigned is this Maserati A6G/54 2000, which is the first of nine examples clothed by Frua with their very distinctive Spider body. Owned by the current custodian since 1999, chassis 2180 was restored in Italy and subsequently shown at Villa d'Este.
BMW, meanwhile, have revealed the first, camouflaged images of the upcoming M8 GTE, which started testing at the Lauzitsring this month. Based on the upcoming M8 road car, the new GT racer is due to compete in the FIA WEC from the 2018 season onwards.
Mercedes-AMG have worked their magic on the all-new S-Class and created the V8-engined S 63 AMG 4MATIC+ and the V12-powered S 65.
