(CNN) To classic car enthusiasts it's known simply as "Pebble Beach" -- a week-long series of events on California's Monterey Peninsula each August, culminating in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. There, the world's top car collectors compete for honors and awards that recognize the very finest examples of marques like Ferrari, Maserati and Rolls-Royce. This year, however, there's a new competition on everyone's radar. The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award -- put on by the Hong Kong-based Peninsula Hotels chain and and its chairman Michael Kadoorie -- pits six of the world's most acclaimed models against one another, each vying for the title of "most exceptional" classic car.
