The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2024 is recognised as one of the most prestigious events in the world of classic motoring and design. As tradition dictates, it takes place on the shores of picturesque Lake Como, against the magnificent historic backdrop of Villa d’Este. Organised by BMW Group Classic in partnership with the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este, the event celebrates the beauty and refinement of vintage cars, drawing collectors and enthusiasts from all over the world every year.
The 2024 edition promises an even more exclusive experience, presenting an extraordinary collection of classic cars and contemporary concept cars, all competing for the coveted “Best of Show” award. Centre stage go automobiles built between the 1920s and the 1970s, symbols of excellence in the design and innovation of their time, joined by modern concept cars that offer a glimpse of the future of mobility. The cars are displayed in the splendid gardens of Villa d’Este, giving visitors the chance to admire these automotive masterpieces up close, in an atmosphere steeped in luxury and history.
One of the most distinctive features of the Concorso is the division of the cars into classes, each representing a particular era or style. From the refined coupés of the 1930s to the iconic sports cars of the 1960s, the cars selected are among the rarest and best preserved in the world. The care taken in choosing the entries ensures that only the most exclusive models take part in the competition.
