Jaguar joined forces with Playboy to give that extra bit of spicy flavor that was needed for the launch of their ultra-luxurious new model, the extended-wheelbase XJL Ultimate. The Pebble Beach VIP event came with all the bells and whistles - live music, Jaguar’s famous car designer Ian Callum, plus some celebrities (we only recognize the lovely Christina Hendricks).
The XJL Ultimate is a special edition, of which only 30 will be sold in the US, all finished in Black Amethyst. The 20-inch "Maroa" style forged alloy wheels are also unique to this model and feature a dual-tone color scheme.

Other vehicles on display were the 185 MPH Jaguar XKR-S Coupe (Playboy's 2012 Car of the Year) and the red 1963 Jaguar E-Type, which was featured on TV series Mad Men this season.

“Jaguar and Playboy set out to create something new, a private fun evening to get the Pebble Beach Automotive Weekend going and to showcase the new Jaguar XJL Ultimate," said David Pryor, Brand Vice President, Jaguar North America. "The evening brought automotive aficionados and friends of Playboy and Jaguar together, without all the crowds and sales pitches experienced the rest of the weekend. Owners of Jaguar cars like an upscale, but relaxed and fun environment, and that is what we created with Playboy for this event."

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
