But the event also features plenty of the latest cars, too. Attendees en route to the classic car show's awards ceremony Sunday were funneled past a stable of concept cars from many manufacturers at the prestigious golf course near Monterey, Calif. The sixtieth red Ferrari in a single day can seem a bit ho-hum as it rolls past, but there's still plenty to catch a car enthusiast's eye among the concept cars. The models range from thought experiments to real products. This shot shows the Infiniti Essence, a luxury concept with a 600-horsepower 3.6-liter engine hybridized with a battery. Its drivetrain and styling are expected to be incorporated into future Infiniti models. The car features custom-fitted Louis Vuitton luggage.      <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2009/08/17/carshow5_540x278.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Morgan's Aero SuperSports, due to go into production in early 2010, employs a 4.8-litre 367-horsepower BMW V8 engine with a hardwood interior and an aluminum exterior.     <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2009/08/17/carshow18_540x348.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Bugatti Sang Bleu is a one-off version of the Veyron 16.4, a 1,001-horsepower machine that can accelerate to 100kmph in 2.5 seconds and decelerate back to a stop in 2.3 seconds.

The four-passenger car is due to go on sale in North America in early 2010. It reaches 60mph in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 162mph. Lotus' low-mass philosophy also helps boost highway fuel economy north of 30mpg.     <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2009/08/17/carshow8_540x316.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The windshield-free Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss has 5.5-liter, 650-horsepower V8 supercharged engine.
