Concorso di Eleganza di Villa D'Este 2026, here's all that will be there

The Villa Erba park will also be transformed into a real attraction for clubs and enthusiasts thanks to the Amici & Automobili - Wheels & Weisswürscht event, a format that celebrates the passion for engines of all ages. Making the 2026 edition even richer will be the special exhibition dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Bmw M3, with an exhibition entitled Touring Car Legends that will retrace the performance of the most iconic racing cars of the Bmw brand.

The fascination of large international auctions, as always, will not be lacking: Broad Arrow Auctions will handle the sale of more than 70 models, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire rare examples that are still in circulation and attractive. The integration of tradition and innovation is ensured by the debut of the Bmw Alpinas. In parallel, Bmw Motorrad will unveil a concept that will redefine the standards of the motorbike industry and open up the debate on the new frontiers of mobility.

The eight competition classes, an expression of their historical vocation, will offer a journey through time through models from every era: from the luxurious cars of the 1920s and 1930s, to the sporty racing cars of the 1930s, through the unmistakable supercars of the 1950s and on to modern supercars. Among the most interesting are the category dedicated to models that age without restoration and the other celebrating the legends of Ferrari's endurance cars.

The most eagerly awaited trophy remains the awarding of the Best of Show, the highest accolade given by a jury of experts, together with the Gold Cup and the President's Trophy. The winner will receive an 1815 Chronograph watch in 18-carat white gold, made by A Lange Sohne, a historical partner of the event for over 15 years. Among the most original prizes is surely the Il Canto del Motore Trophy presented by the famous tenor Jonas Kaufmann to the car with the most exciting motoring sound.

To participate in the public events and experience the exclusive atmosphere of Lake Como as a protagonist, tickets are available on the event's official website. All information, updates and curiosities are distributed through the dedicated app, the website and also the official Instagram profile, guaranteeing an engaging and connected experience. The Concorso di Villa d'Este 2026, in short, promises to be a real journey through past, present and future.
