From July 11 to 13, 2025, Baden-Baden will once again be transformed into a living open-air museum of automotive history. Around 370 lovingly maintained classic cars from all over Europe are expected to attend the 48th edition of the International Classic Car Meeting Baden-Baden. From charming Schnauferln to sporty classics and elegant convertibles, the meeting presents the entire spectrum of automotive history.
A special highlight this year is the guest of honor brand Audi, which won a prestigious beauty award in Baden-Baden 100 years ago. Visitors can look forward to an exclusive special show that not only presents the milestones of the Audi brand, but also highlights the fascinating history of Auto Union with the Horch, DKW, NSU and Wanderer brands. Together with the Audi Center Baden-Baden and the Bauschatz-Gerstenmaier automotive group, the development of the four rings from the early days to the modern era will be presented.
Rarities and collector's items
The classic car meeting offers an impressive variety: from the pioneers of automotive history and sporty classics to elegant touring cars and charming small cars from the years of the economic miracle - more than 80 brands are represented. Particularly rare French rarities from neighboring Alsace, including vehicles from the vanished luxury brands Delahaye, Delage, Talbot and Facel, offer a fascinating insight into the French automotive traditions of the Belle Époque.
Another highly sought-after collector's item will be on display at the classic car meeting in Baden-Baden. The luxury coupé designed by the legendary Sergio Pininfarina is celebrating its golden anniversary. Only 525 exclusive examples of the Rolls-Royce Camargue were built worldwide - a true milestone of British craftsmanship and Italian design.
In addition, the first electric Rolls-Royce classic car to be registered in Germany, a Silver Dawn from 1952, shows how automotive tradition and modern technology can be combined.
Extensive supporting program
The ultra-modern AvD Sim Racing facility brings authentic motorsport action directly to Baden-Baden. Visitors can put their skills to the test in historic and modern racing cars on world-famous race tracks such as the Nürburgring or Spa-Francorchamps and win attractive prizes.
Atmospheric jazz concerts, elegant fashion shows and spectacular hot-air balloon glows will also take place on the exhibition grounds to complement the automotive spectacle. For three days, the traditional Kaiserallee and the Kurgarten will be transformed into an exclusive promenade with a unique classic car atmosphere.
At the 48th International Classic Car Meeting, unique automotive flair meets relaxed shopping pleasure in the city center. On Sunday, July 13, Baden-Baden's exclusive stores and boutiques will open their doors to the public.
On Sunday afternoon, the Concours d'élégance will take center stage: a jury of experts will judge the vehicles in 15 different categories and award 120 prizes. The public also awards a coveted trophy. The award ceremony after the grand corso marks the festive conclusion of the weekend.
