THE CARS
The Concorso will feature only a small number of cars (±25) cars that were hand-picked for their historical significance, rarity, and beauty. All the cars chosen are some of the most important Ferraris ever built.
For example, last year, the exhibition field displayed Ferrari’s first-generation production cars, consisting of a rare 1959 250 Interim (chassis #1461 GT), an extremely rare 2001 550 Maranello WSR (only 33 built), and a handful of infamous 250s, 275s, and GTOs.
Beyond Ferrari production cars, the competition category included a competition Ferrari Berlinetta, a 1999 F360 Challenge, a 2007 F430 GT, and a 2008 F430 GT3. All the competition cars are some of the most sought-after series numbers on the Ferrari collector circuit.
This year, the Concorso d’Eleganza will feature the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ferraris on display will include historically significant Ferrari race cars that have competed in the past 24 Hours of Le Mans racing events.
**Cars that raced on the “Circuit de la Sarthe” racing event are welcome!
