Photo Gallery «See and be seen - Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2022»

From May 20 to 22, 2022, the traditional Concorso d'Eleganza took place again at Villa d'Este. There were two anniversaries to celebrate this year: the 75th year since the first automotive beauty contest on Lake Como and half a century of BMW-Motorsport-GmbH. This year, the three main prizes went to France and England. Our article describes the impressions on site, names all the winners and shows the most beautiful motifs from the park.

Only in relation to a person does it become clear how big luxury cars really were before the war

This Rolls-Royce 20 H.P. was owned by the Nawab of Sachin

Traditional clothing and modern technology need not be mutually exclusive

Progress made visible - The free-standing, recessed and retractable spotlights

A separate category was dedicated to the compressor Mercedes-Benz

Completely horizontal hoods and curved fenders - this is what a stately car had to look like

A picnic in the park is simply part of it

This is the way to live - pancakes ...

... and champagne in front of a compressor backdrop

Colorful fifties in the foreground. A vinyl roof is rather rare on a Cadillac of this vintage

For some, the garment has Christmas tree associations. However, the fact that the lady is standing in front of a tree trunk is pure coincidence

Instead of a vehicle description, there's just a QR code. Welcome to the digital age

The Abarth Porsche looks curiously under the hood of the Alfa Romeo TZ1

A mesh of tubes from the frame, suspension, steering and exhaust surrounds the inclined double cam

100

When the hood is open, the TZ1 gets devil horns

105

Three-dimensional rear spoiler in front of painted facade

107

300 SL Roadster and DB4 have secretly sneaked in among the racing cars

117

The shady spots were clearly preferred

124

Impressions are mainly collected by phone. After all, you have to be able to deliver something to your followers

130

The orange of the pants is a little too bright for the Group 5 BMW

131

Here, on the other hand, the color of the dress and BMW match almost perfectly

138

The M1 for the road is much more discreet than its Procar brother

139

A boat could also be moored to the rear spoiler of the M1 Procar

140

With a flourish, the lady turns away from the BMW ...

141

... and gets into position for a photo in front of it. Fittingly, the photographer also wears BMW M colors on her dress

148

Patron BMW exhibited special models out of competition

150

Which car is missing here to complete the G class of super sports cars? That's right, a Citroën SM

154

Sometimes even the fastest Citroën in the world needs a little support

156

The public voted the Aston Martin Bulldog as their favorite

157

Photographer hype around Bulldog owner Philip Sarofim

183

Finally an analog camera. I actually still only take photos for my own memories

184

The lady seems to be taking a photo - even though the camera and phone are at her feet

185

The jurors at work

187

The shade of the trees was a great place to spend time. Not all visitors could keep up with the elegance of the cars in terms of style
