From May 24 to 26, 2024, BMW Group Classic will be hosting the legendary Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in cooperation with the Grand Hotel Villa d'Este.
The most spectacular automobiles of their time will traditionally compete for the coveted trophies in exclusive competition classes, above all the Trofeo BMW Group, with which the top-class jury will select the overall winner of the Concorso d'Eleganza.
First special classes already defined
The following competition classes have already been defined by the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Selecting Committee:
- "The Best Car In The World" For 120 Years: Rolls-Royce Celebrates An Historic Birthday
- "The Need for Speed: Supercar Stars of the Video Generation"
- "The Best of Italian Grace and Pace: Maserati at 110"

The Selecting Committee of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2024 is calling on owners of exceptional classic cars to register their vehicles for the competition.
Vehicles can now be registered online on the event website for the competition classes that have already been determined. Vehicle applications are also possible for classes other than those already determined. Further classes will be announced successively.
Again with concept cars and Public Day
The exciting gathering of the latest concept cars is a globally unique tradition. These vehicles show how the engineers and designers of today imagine the cars of the future. Owners of concept cars can already apply to take part.
The "Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Public Days" on the grounds of the nearby Villa Erba will take place again in 2024.
The return of this important part of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este proved to be a great success in 2023. On Sunday, May 26, "Public Day - Il Festival" will once again give the general and interested public the opportunity to experience the parade of vehicles of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
With white sausages
The "Amici & Automobili - Wheels&Weisswürscht" event format, familiar from Munich and now also established on Lake Como, will also be part of the festival weekend in 2024. On Saturday, May 25, models from automobile clubs and communities of all makes from all over the world will be welcomed to present their vehicles to the many visitors. BMW Club & Community Management is now accepting requests to participate with your own classic car at a dedicated email address.
Helmut Käs, Head of BMW Group Classic: "With these integral event formats as part of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, BMW Group Classic is continuing on its path of further developing the overall event. The intensively pursued goal is still to turn the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este into a top-class automotive festival for everyone."

It embodies the ideal combination of tradition, respect and timeless elegance that we have always been known for. It will once again be an incredible celebration of automotive artistry that reaches back in time and for which there could be no better place than Villa d'Este.
