The Quail 2014: top 10 cars in pictures

The Quail is one of the most prestigious car shows in the world. We pick the best 10 cars from the 2014 event

By:Auto Express team
16 Aug 2014

We’ve been walking the impossibly lush lawns at the 2014 installment of The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering. The event, held at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, California, is only 12 years old but it’s already risen to prominence as one of the most exclusive and luxurious car shows in the world and an integral part of the Pebble Beach and Monterey Car Week.

You just have to look at the quality of the cars on display to confirm The Quail’s status and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. In this gallery you’ll find our top 10 list of the best cars at The Quail 2014.  

Now check out our round-up of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction...

  • The ugly aerodynamics of the 288 GTO EVO plus extra power (up to around 650hp) over the normal 288 GTO enabled it to do 225mph. Only five of these were ever made.
