Behold: the Audi PB I8 E-tron – a ‘shooting brake’ style electric hypercar concept from the German manufacturer.

The driver enters on the left but, once seated, the entire monocoque slides into a central position – the ideal perch for a frankly alarming two second travel time from zero to 100km/h.

The prototype recently debuted at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in advance of any firm production dates.

Behold: the Shelby Daytona Coupe Secret Weapon – a ‘continuation’ of the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe, only six of which were ever built.

Based on a modified 289 Cobra chassis and streamlined to the point where it would achieve a top speed of 305km/h (190mph), the Cobra beat the otherwise all-conquering Ferrari 250GTO at Le Mans in 1964.

The ancestor of this 7-litre V8 variant (of which only one was made) was the ‘secret weapon’ of the 1964 Le Mans team but was damaged en route to the course and never actually raced.

Yours for around €423,000.

Behold the latest in a spate of celebrity motors up for auction: Keith Richards’ 1972 Ferrari Dino  246GT – sold (amazingly unblemished and undented considering Keef’s legendary drug consumption) in 1986 after fourteen years of ownership with just 25,000 miles on the clock.

Yours for between £300,000 and £400,000.
