The sound of powerful V8 engines, gleaming chrome and a real road feeling: on August 2 and 3, 2025, the Technik Museum Sinsheim will once again be transformed into an Eldorado for fans of American vehicle culture.
At the popular US car meeting, visitors can experience historic, unusual and modern US vehicles of all kinds up close, with a record-breaking turnout: Almost 900 vehicles have announced their attendance. The US car meeting will take place on both days from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the museum's open-air grounds.
On Saturday evening from 6 p.m., the sociable Grill 'n' Chill also starts - with live music, culinary offerings and a relaxed atmosphere. Admission to the event area is free.
Variety on wheels - a new record year
The range at the US Car Meeting on August 2 and 3, 2025 is as wide as the streets of the USA are long. From the legendary Ford Estate and magnificent Cadillacs to modern muscle cars and elaborately customized conversions, everything is represented.
The variety ranges from historic classic cars to high-tech show cars - a reflection of American automobile history in all its facets. Over 200 classic US vintage cars are registered, supplemented by youngtimers, pick-ups, lowriders, rat cars and many creative special conversions.
Around 900 vehicles are expected on the grounds of the Technik Museum Sinsheim - a new record. A separate area for US classic cars built up to 1995, special zones for current models and style-defining conversions make the meeting a lively showcase of American vehicle design. The high attendance shows: The fascination for US cars is unbroken. Visitors can expect an impressive panorama of shapes, colors and engine sounds and one thing above all: a living passion for the "American Way of Drive".
Show, sound and a real US feeling
The US Car Meeting offers far more than just automotive highlights. An authentic American feeling is created across the entire site this weekend, supported by a varied supporting program.
The dealer mile has been expanded once again and offers a large selection of accessories and lifestyle products related to this special car culture. There will also be musical entertainment: Free Bears, Lucky Rockets and Rock 'n' Roll & Petticoats will be providing an exuberant atmosphere on the show stage.
Innovations 2025: Police car parade and lounge area
One of the new additions to the program is the Police Car Parade, taking place for the first time: original US emergency vehicles provide a real "Highway Patrol" flair. The line-up is complemented by proven crowd favorites such as the Lowrider Show and the TechTalks, where experts share exciting background knowledge.
Also new to the concept is a spacious lounge area below the walk-in U17 submarine exhibit - ideal for relaxing, chatting and watching the hustle and bustle on the grounds.
Vehicle awards & culinary delights - more than just a show
An integral part of the US Car Meeting is the expert vehicle award ceremony, where selected models are presented and awarded prizes on both days. What makes this part of the program so special: vehicle owners share their very personal stories, give insights into technology, conversions and history and provide surprising moments with their experiences. Culinary delights are also on offer: From classic barbecue specialties to American-inspired street food variations, there is something for every taste. A special highlight is the Grill 'n' Chill on Saturday evening from 6 p.m. - a sociable get-together with live music, a relaxed atmosphere and an original US feeling on the outdoor area.
American cars not only stand for impressive design and powerful engines - they also embody an attitude to life. They are an expression of individuality, independence and an unmistakable style that has achieved cult status worldwide through cinema, music and pop culture. From the thundering V8 sound to the chrome-plated lines, they convey a feeling of freedom, space and adventure - values that continue to inspire generations today.
