•Friday, August 14: Porsche show, auction and vehicle spotlight

'What makes Monterey Car Week special each year is the wide variety of events held around the peninsula for enthusiasts to gather among automotive history, share their passion and experience new vehicles from global manufacturers,' said Petersen Executive Director Terry L. Karges. 'Given the circumstances, we are happy to provide a new experience for global enthusiasts by offering some of the key aspects of the week. Although we'd much rather be enjoying car week in person, we are excited to distill the essence of Monterey Car Week into something virtual and make the events accessible to everyone.'
