This weekend, RM Sotheby's will stage the highly exclusive New York Auction to round out the year. Among the headliners are a pair of 1950s coach-built coupes. We were particularly taken by the Fiat 8V Ghia Supersonic consigned. Any Supersonic is special but this car has not been seen in public since the early 1960s. It has had only four owners from new and was recently meticulously restored. A welcome guest at all major events, chassis 106*000053 has a $2.1 - $ 2.5 million estimate. Of a similar vintage is this one-off Aston Martin DB2/4 Bertone Coupe, which has also benefited from a recent restoration. It has already won first in class at Pebble Beach and comes with an invitation to Villa d'Este. Of a more modern vintage are two great examples of the Jaguar XJ220 and McLaren P1 that will cross the block on Friday.
In New Zealand, Rodin Cars have started testing the very wild FZero. This track-day only is powered by a twin-turbocharged V10 engine, which produces over 1,000 bhp. Last we heard, production of this single-seater is limited to just 27 examples. From Germany hails this Mercedes-AMG CLE 53; the latest coupe from the German manufacturer's high-performance department. It is powered by a 442 bhp straight-six engine that powers all four wheels. Proud of the company's history, Morgan looks ahead to the future with this battery electric XP-1. As the name suggests, it is an experimental vehicle that combines the lightweight aluminium chassis of the Super 3 with a bespoke electric drivetrain, which is the first developed in-house.
