Monterey Car week has become the go-to location for high-end and luxury car brands to unveil new models direct to the most-likely customers. The event has overtaken the likes of the traditional car shows (as we explained here). As a result the most exotic and limited-edition cars are held for reveal during this week-long gathering of the industry’s who’s who, along with the car world’s uber wealthy. With that in mind, here, in alphabetical order are the 10 best reveals of the 2025 Monterey Car Week.
Gordon Murray S1 LM (GMSV)
Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) has produced a few desirable cars in its rather short existence (as you can see here). The company has now spawned a bespoke division called Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV), which debuted two cars at 2025 Monterey Car Week.
The first is the S1 LM, which is a modern homage to the Gordon Murray designed McLaren F1. Only five will be built. It uses a 4,3‑litre naturally aspirated V12 (upgraded from the T.50’s 4,0 L) making ~520 kW. The three‑seat cabin and six‑speed manual transmission are carried over from the T.50. The lightweight carbon‑fibre tub and stiffened suspension ensure a sub‑1000 kg mass. This bespoke GMSV commission blends retro styling with cutting‑edge engineering, focusing purely on driving purity.
Gordon Murray Le Mans GTR (GMSV)
The Le Mans GTR is an homage to 1995 Le Mans‑winning McLaren F1 GTR longtail. This is billed as a track‑focused V12 “hyper‑tourer.” Production is limited to 24 units, one for each hour of the famous race. It is based on the T.50/T.50S platform: a carbon tub, three‑seat layout and six‑speed manual are carried over, but body and aero are all new. The powertrain is the T.50’s 4,0‑litre naturally aspirated V12 (revving to 12,100 rpm) tuned to 488 kW. This, combined with its stretched long‑tail body and massive rear wing, yields extreme downforce. No official weight is given, but like the T.50 it will be very light.
Gunther Werks F-26
Gunther Werks’ Project F26 is a reimagining of the famous Flachbau or flatnose Porsche 911. Production is limited to 26 units worldwide. It uses a 4,0 L twin turbocharged flat six tuned to 747 kW and 1 016 N.m of torque. A six speed manual gearbox feeds the rear wheels. The entire body is carbon fibre and the monocoque is specially reinforced for a reported “200 per cent increase in rigidity”; as a result the F 26 weighs just 1 225 kg. The result is an extreme air cooled supercar with retro inspired looks.
Gunther Werks GWX
The Gunther Werks GWX is the company’s most exclusive 911 restomod to date. Only three examples will be built (by invite). It is based on the 993 generation 911 but fitted with a new 4,0 L naturally aspirated flat six producing 328 kW. Virtually all panels are reshaped in lightweight carbon fibre, including flared fenders, bumpers and a bespoke rear wing. A six speed manual gearbox (carried over from GW models) sends power rearward. No official kerb weight is quoted, but all carbon construction means it’s exceptionally light.
Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution LF
The Venom F5 Revolution LF is a 1 of 1 hypercar built for collector Louis Florey. It launches Hennessey’s new bespoke ‘Maverick’ division. The LF features a 6,6 L twin turbocharged V8 (derived from the regular F5) tuned to a staggering 1 514 kW. It uses a carbon monocoque chassis and, unusually, a six speed manual gearbox. Aerodynamically it is track focused (taller wing, dive planes, reshaped splitter). Weight is kept minimal by the carbon tub and stripped interior, though official mass isn’t given. This one off roadster is arguably the most extreme and expensive hypercar Hennessey has built.
Lamborghini Fenomeno
The Fenomeno is Lamborghini’s next ‘few off’ V12 hybrid hypercar, unveiled at Pebble Beach. Just 30 units will be built (29 sold to customers, one for the museum). Its powertrain pairs the Revuelto’s 6,5 L NA V12 with three electric motors, for a combined output of 794 kW. A specialised seven speed dual clutch transmission sends torque to all four wheels. Despite its hybrid systems, the Fenomeno remains focused on speed: 0–100 km/h in 2,4 s and a top speed of 350 km/h. Massive carbon ceramics brakes and active aero keep it composed.

Meyers Manx LFG Off Road Buggy
An unlikely newcomer at 2025 Monterey Car Week was the Meyers Manx LFG. This is a hardcore off road ‘superbuggy’ rather than supercar. Limited to 100 examples, it uses a carbon fibre monocoque, a new take on the glass-fibre classic that inspired its creation. Buyers can choose high performance engines – for example, Tuthill’s Cosworth-built 4,0 L flat-six unit – paired with a six speed sequential transaxle. The LFG features full 4WD, heavy duty suspension with adjustable, and huge off road tyres. In short, it’s an ultra robust buggy: weight is kept low by composites, and comfort features like a climate controlled cabin and long range fuel tank make it as luxurious as it is capable. Each buyer also gets invitations to Manx curated adventure drives. Production is fixed at 100; every unit sold immediately.
Ringbrothers Aston Martin DBS “Octavia”
Ringbrothers’ is known for its musclecar creation. However “Octavia” is a one off, carbon fiber restomod of a 1971 Aston Martin DBS. Only the displayed prototype exists. The original steel body was discarded in favour of a full monocoque by Roadster Shop. Power comes from a 5,0 L Ford Coyote supercharged V8 making 600 kW. A six speed manual transaxle sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear axle. Carbon fibre panels are eight inches wider on each side, and every trim piece (even handles and wheels) were bespoke-machined or 3D printed. The result is a GT class performance: 0–100 km/h well under 3,5 sec. As a one off, it’s purely a showpiece, answering the question: what would James Bond ‘007’ was American.
Touring Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta
Touring Superleggera’s Veloce12 Barchetta is a limited run open top grand tourer. The Barchetta’s design cues (long hood, cut away doors, classic round headlights) echo 1960s GT cars, while its fabrication is thoroughly modern. Its front mount engine is a naturally aspirated V12 (derived from Ferrari’s 812) displacing 6,5 L. Power is quoted as 356 kW with 568 N.m torque. A six speed manual gearbox drives the rear wheels. Chassis and body are bespoke carbon composites, bringing mass down to an estimated 1 500 kg. As a result it cab sprint from 0–100 km/h in ~4,4 s and has a 290 km/h top speed. Brembo brakes, an active exhaust and electronically adjustable suspension are standard. Only a “limited production” run will be built, each hand crafted in Touring’s Milan atelier.
Totem Automobili Sport Prototipo
Totem Automobili – the Italian restomod specialist – set Alfristo hearts aflutter with the Sport Prototipo. This car is born from the GT Super and, according to the press material embodies a vision of pure performance. It has a widened stance, revised aero and carbon-fibre wheels. More notable is a the twin turbo 3,2 L V6 engine that produces almost 550 kW. As with so many modern, limited-edition models, the Sport Prototipo uses a manual transmission to direct power to the rear axle.
