Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2024 — Timeless Beauty

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is the opposite of any dynamic event. Here cars don't race, they don't make noise, they don't push the limits.

They are still. Yet, in some ways, they are more alive than ever.

On the shores of Lake Como, amidst perfect gardens and soft light, each car is observed for what it is: design, proportions, history.

Can the automobile, even a sports car or a racing car, be considered Art? The BMW Art Cars certainly are:

As a livery enthusiast, these represent the sublimation of visual pleasure applied to automotive design, and bearing the signature of artists like Andy Warhol, they are priceless pieces.

Walking through the lawns, you can see some of the most sought-after historic and classic cars, as well as leading figures from our beloved world, such as the genius Christian von Koenigsegg presenting his CC850, or Mr. RUF with his daughter Aloisa.

This edition was ideal for Alfa Romeo to launch its 33 Stradale, which, based on the Maserati MC20, harks back to the old model with truly breathtaking finishes and details. It will win the Design Concept Award 2024.
