Bentley and Rolls-Royce 👑🇬🇧 1. Bentley gained fame in the 1920s for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans race multiple times, including a streak of four consecutive wins from 1927 to 1930. 2. Rolls-Royce famously tests their engines in a specially designed room called the "Silent Room" to ensure they operate silently and smoothly. 3. Rolls-Royce offers extensive customization options for their cars, allowing customers to create truly bespoke vehicles tailored to their preferences, from materials to finishes. 4. The Rolls-Royce Phantom nameplate has been in continuous use since 1925, making it one of the longest-standing models in automotive history and synonymous with luxury and prestige. These facts illustrate the deep heritage, craftsmanship, and unique characteristics that define Bentley and Rolls-Royce in the automotive industry. #bentley #rollsroyce #wealth #power #money #financing #investment #realestate #funding #vc #energy #fdi #growth #country #equity #fund #ZabCapitalHoldings

I love the direction that Chevy is heading with the latest Corvette. Though it is sad to see them do away with the Camaro, it is exhilarating to see them double down on Corvette performance. First and foremost, switching to the mid-engine setup with the 5.5L flat plane crank V8 was a performance-oriented switch over from the previous generation's design and powerplant. We normally associate those things with European supercars but it's because it's easy to see just how effective they are. Now, to build on top of those key design changes, Chevy is switching from the historically American-fashion supercharged powerplant to the more European influenced twin-turbo set up in the 5.5L LT6. These changes are beautiful. They speak to the true nature of the Corvette: a masterpiece of racing-oriented engineering. I am a big Mercedes fan, so seeing the tuning and performance capabilities of a twin-turbo setup in their true AMG cars excites me when considering what the new ZR1 can accomplish, especially in the aftermarket setting. Furthermore, companies like Hennessey have already accomplished incredible things with twin-turbo setups. Which makes me curious, is this European influence on the American supercar going to bring the Corvette to an even higher status of performance? And on the other hand, will we see any major downsides with these changes?

Monterey Car Week 2024 provided us with a revealing snapshot of the current state of the classic and collectible car market. The overall sell-through rate climbed to 71% from last year’s 69%, demonstrating resilience despite broader economic challenges. However, the sell-through rate for $1 million-plus cars dropped to 52%, down from 63% in 2023, highlighting an increasing selectivity among high-end collectors. Conversely, the six-figure market has shown notable strength, with many vehicles performing above expectations. This trend indicates that collectors are placing greater emphasis on finding vehicles that offer exceptional value and historical significance, rather than simply focusing on higher price points. Among the standout sales was the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider by Scaglietti, which achieved an impressive $17.055 million. This sale underscores the continued appeal of rare, high-quality vehicles, even as the market becomes more discerning. These insights provide valuable guidance as we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of the collectible car market. Credit to Hagerty for their outstanding analysis throughout the week. Their team's passion for this space is truly inspiring and adds tremendous value to the community.

The iconic Aston Martin Vantage is reshaped and revitalised for a new generation! 🤩 New for 2024 and absolutely the last all-ICE sports car to be produced by Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd, the new Vantage follows the company’s time-honoured process of refining inside and out until the result is pure perfection. Aston calls this the ‘definitive front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car’, a description of an enduring engineering package that won’t mean much to drivers weaned on EVs. But a fair proportion of Aston owners are resolutely old school in their outlook, and although this Vantage is the most technologically advanced car ever to bear the name, the most important part is the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, now producing 128hp more than the special F1 Edition! 🤯 (Image Credit: Aston Martin) #autofasteners #fasteners #automotive #betterconnected #astonmartin #vantage
