The 2025 Monterey Car Week was home to a bunch of new car launches

- WORDS SAYANTAN DE

The Monterey Car Week, better known by the location i.e. Pebble Beach (which is also the name of the Concours d'Elegance event), is widely regarded as one of the bucket-list items in every petrolhead’s life, alongside events like Goodwood Festival of Speed and Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Recently though, manufacturers big and small have caught on to the fact that this is a perfect opportunity to showcase their latest wares, targeted at the perfect slice of the well-heeled clientele. So, new car launches have become a lot more common at these vintage car events—just check out our story last month on the Goodwood Festival of Speed. That being said, we love cars in all shapes and forms, so without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the all-new machinery that has broken cover at the famous golf course in Northern California at this year’s Monterey Car Week.

Bugatti Brouillard

The Bugatti Brouillard is a couchbuilt one-off—the first one from Programme Solitaire, Bugatti’s new bespoke outfit. It is underpinned by the W16 quad-turbocharged platform, pumping out 1,600PS and 1,600Nm like the Chiron Super Sport. Bugatti states that it will only build two cars each year under the Solitaire programme. This one-off green colour was mixed specifically for the car, and the interior has embroidered horse motifs throughout the cabin.
