This weekend saw one of the most prestigious events in Cernobbio, Italy: Concorso D’Eleganza Villa D’Este. Beyond the stunning backdrop of Lake Como, the three-day event brought together some of the world’s most important and historic cars ever made.
Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este featured a curated display of classic and concept cars, selected for their historical significance, design, and rarity. The event was organized by BMW Group Classic and the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este, taking place within the hotel’s grounds and adjacent Villa Erba. A parallel exhibition, FuoriConcourso, was also held within the walking grounds of Lake Como.
Automobiles on display spanned multiple eras, from early 20th-century models to contemporary design studies. Within the selection were some of the most awe-inspiring racers like the McLaren F1 GTR, Ferrari F40 LM and Lamborghini Diablo SV-R, while hypercars like the Pagani Huayra Epitome and the Koenigsegg CCX grew exceptional crowds. This year, restomods also took center stage – Kimera brought out a slew of its EVO37 and EVO38 creations, while the Marc Philipp Gemballa MARSIEN also made a rare appearance. Additionally, BMW took the opportunity to not only showcase the new M2 CS but also the teased Speedtop shooting brake concept revealed earlier this week.
Judging for the vehicles to win their specific awards was conducted by a panel of experts who evaluated the vehicles based on authenticity, preservation, and overall design coherence. In addition to the judged classes, there were public voting categories and manufacturer showcases.
