Photo Gallery «Grand Basel 2018 - the salon for design masterpieces and automotive culture»
It set out to shake up the classic car trade fair scene. The approach chosen for Grand Basel differs fundamentally from previous events and is deliberately geared towards art and aesthetics. Technical topics are secondary; design and elegant forms are what count. The premiere took place on September 6-9, 2018 in front of around 12,000 amazed spectators. This visit report shows most of the more than 110 vehicles on display and describes the trade fair and the chosen exhibition approach.
