Concorso d'Eleganza Ville d'Este

The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best identifies the world’s most exceptional classic car from a select group of vehicles that have won the highest awards at the previous year’s major concours events. The 2022 award finalists have now been announced.

An American car has won the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the world's oldest and most traditional automotive concours.

BMW Motorrad showed a "Concept R18" motorcycle at Concorso d'Elegenza Villa d'Este that appears to be the first shot in an offensive on Harley-Davidson and Indian territory. It is the first glimpse of many new bikes expected to be based around the 1800cc twin-cylinder engine.

The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este has been an annual event for 91 years. Across that time, it has been the home of automotive passion in the most passionate automotive country.

Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este each May holds a special place on the heritage motoring calendar and the official RM-Sotheby's auction always throws up some spectacular machinery. This year eight cars topped the €1,000,000 mark and there were some very special cars offered below that figure.

Among the rare classics that traditionally populate the motorcycle class of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, this year BMW unveiled a one-off supercharged custom called R5 Hommage as a tribute to the original production model that set the sportbike standards some 80 years ago.

BMW might be putting a focus on the future of mobility at the moment, but that hasn't stopped it from taking a glimpse at the rear-view mirror. The 2002 Hommage concept pays tribute to the compact coupe that set the blueprint for the Bavarian company's modern sport sedans.

BMW's Villa d'Este concept bikes have a habit of becoming production reality in short order, so the Concept 101 is no flight of fancy. It signals BMW's intentions to break into the American cruiser market, and to do it in style.

BMW has taken the wraps off a tribute to its legendary 3.0 CSL at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, attempting to recreate the magic of the 1970's original with a lightweight concept inventively named 3.0 CSL Hommage.

Aston Martin has unveiled the DBS-replacing Project AM310 concept.
