FYI: The Monterey Peninsula becomes the ultimate destination for car aficionados every August, with The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, standing out as the must-attend event of the week.
Elegance Meets Performance at The Quail
In August, the serene Monterey Peninsula buzzes with excitement as it transforms into the epicenter for car enthusiasts. The spotlight event, The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, held at the picturesque Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, epitomizes luxury and high-performance automobiles, making it an indispensable part of Monterey Car Week.
A Showcase of Automotive Excellence
The Quail isn’t just any car show; it’s a celebration of automotive artistry and engineering. Each year, the event features a cornucopia of cars, varying in prestige and historical significance. Attendees are treated to an array of international cuisines beautifully laid out across the fairways and endless flutes of champagne. This year, the focus was on capturing the particular vehicles that embodied The Quail’s aesthetic appeal and diversity.
Unparalleled Variety
From futuristic hypercars and meticulously restored classics to custom one-offs and special editions by manufacturers, the variety on display at The Quail 2024 was unparalleled. This year’s event even featured a section dedicated to rally cars, a personal favorite.
One standout was the newly unveiled Gunther Werks GWR, based on the Porsche 993. Its full carbon fiber body, coupled with a Ross Sports 4.0L flat-six engine churning out 500 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, makes it a beast on wheels. This naturally aspirated marvel promises a visceral driving experience seldom seen in the age of forced induction and hybrid engines.
Beyond the Cars
Beyond the automotive splendor, one of the highlights of The Quail is its meticulous attention to detail. Every year, the event delivers a superb experience, thanks to carefully curated exhibits and top-notch service. The Quail 2024 was no exception, presenting an atmospheric blend of automotive history and innovation.
