More than an event, the thoughtfully curated supercar experience will leave attendees inspired and refreshed. ​

Guests will have the chance to check out the one-of-one 2023 Hyperion XP-1 Prototype, that is currently up for grabs via SBX.

Supercar Blondie herself, Alex Hirschi, will head up a panel on ‘What’s Next for the Collector-Car Market?’, and a very special car will be unveiled.

Guests will come and go at their leisure or stay and soak up the atmosphere.

The event begins at 12 PM, with Bonterra Wines and Skorpios Tequila holding tastings, before race-car driving legends, Patrick Long and Bruno Senna give their take on motorsports stories for a modern audience.

An A-list-gearhead chat with Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul is then rounded out by an evening of signature cocktails, canapés, grilled delights by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, and premium drinking water by Saratoga Spring Water.

Monterey Car Week

Monterey Car Week celebrates motoring at the highest level.

Dating back to 1950 and the debut of the Pebble Beach Road Races, a 1.8-mile circuit that comprised the tree-lined, serpentine byways of what’s now the iconic 17-Mile Drive.

The annual event draws the world’s leading automakers, prominent collectors, racing cognoscenti, and supercar enthusiasts.

It’s an unmissable week filled with car competitions, auctions, and shows, including the incomparable Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
