This annual event spans a single day, held at the expansive South Florida Fairgrounds, a perfect venue for such a high-energy festival.
Expect around hundreds of cars on display, representing the core of the car culture scene. What makes this festival special is how it brings together motoring enthusiasts and actual builders who come to burn rubber and share passion beyond showroom shine. The venue offers great space for both action and display.

For those seeking more information or planning to attend, the official FuelFest website is your go-to source for updates and ticket options.

FEATURED CARS
At FuelFest, the metal does the talking. This festival showcases a diverse collection featuring JDM legends, American muscle, and European exotics—vehicles actual auto fanatics drive and build. Here are five key car categories and icons you can expect to see:

Nissan Skyline GT-R (Various Generations): These Japanese powerhouses, from spotless R32 classics to heavily boosted R34s, are a crowd draw for dedicated JDM autophiles representing fast-car culture.
Toyota Supra (Mk4): The iconic 2JZ-powered Mk4 Supras appear as street-legal beasts alongside fierce single-turbo track builds, a must at this event.
Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB) Porsches: Widebody, air-cooled Porsches by Akira Nakai frequently grace the show. Collectors admire these aggressive, bespoke machines blending vintage German engineering with bold Japanese styling.

In addition to these, expect:

Track-Built American Muscle: Not strictly imports, this includes 1,000+ hp Dodge Vipers, supercharged Shelby Mustangs, and drift-ready Camaros driven and built by muscle car junkies and hot rodders.
Movie Tribute Builds: Incredible replicas of cars celebrating Paul Walker’s legacy appear, such as bright orange Supras and silver-blue Skylines, fueling nostalgia among collectors.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
FuelFest keeps the adrenaline high throughout the day with live motorsport action and interactive displays. The February 28, 2026, event uses the full expanse of the fairgrounds. Instead of static displays, piston-heads can hear and see engines run hard in constantly active drift arenas.

GUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES
FuelFest attracts heavyweights blending Hollywood appeal with motorsport expertise. Cody Walker, Paul Walker’s brother, is a key figure who engages with fans, signs memorabilia, and rides shotgun in drifting cars.
Joining the lineup are celebrity guests from the Fast & Furious franchise, top automotive YouTubers, Formula Drift professionals, and legendary builders who mingle with grease monkeys instead of staying hidden in VIP areas.

Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Classic Car Show and Broad Arrow Auction in Cernobbio, Italy (May 15-17, 2026)
2026-05-15 09:00 - 2026-05-17 17:00 | Villa d’Este, Via Regina 40, Cernobbio, CO, 22012, Italy
From May 15 to May 17, 2026, the shores of Lake Como in Cernobbio, Italy, will host the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
This is the spot where the rarest builds and most dedicated owners actually show up. Located just a few hours’ drive from the historic Ferrari headquarters in Maranello, this event combines some of the most prestigious classic car gatherings in Europe into a singular, world-class experience.
Moving past the marketing gloss, the weekend remains a purist’s tribute to pristine engine bays, bespoke coachwork, and authentic driving passion.
Every May, collectors debut multimillion-dollar vintage racers on the manicured lawns of Lake Como. In 2026, the schedule features 50 world-class entrants competing for the Coppa d’Oro, a 70-car Broad Arrow auction at Villa Erba, and major BMW milestones like the M3’s 40th anniversary.
From pre-war legends to futuristic concept cars, this is the definitive guide to the world’s most exclusive automotive stage.

FYI: Did You Know?
Hollywood icon George Clooney has been a local estate here since 2002, when he purchased Villa Oleandra from the Heinz family. This massive 25-room estate is located in the village of Laglio, situated on the same western shore just 10 km (about 15 minutes) north of Villa d’Este. Despite frequent rumors of a sale, Clooney remains the most famous resident on the lake, often spotted arriving at the Concorso by private boat.

FEATURED CARS
The selection committee brings out the heavy hitters every year, putting around fifty hyper-rare machines from the 1920s to the 1970s on the grass. Car Collectors ship their prized possessions across the globe just for a shot at the Coppa d’Oro.
Villa d’Este on Lake Como is regarded as one of the world’s most romantic settings. Founded in 1568 as the summer residence of Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, it was converted into a luxury hotel in 1873, becoming a favorite destination for European aristocracy and global elites.
Because the exact 2026 competition classes are finalized, you can bank on seeing four historic marque categories that define the essence of this concorso:

Future Couture: Dressed for Speed (1935–1939), focusing on the peak of pre-war aerodynamic design.
Viva Villa d’Este: Extravagant 1950s Style showcasing the most flamboyant post-war coachwork.
Enzo’s Endurance Legends: They Earned Their Names, featuring historic Ferrari racing icons that dominated the track.
Every Scratch Tells a Story: The preservation class for cars ageing gracefully without ever being restored.
Modern Concept Cars and Prototypes: A direct look into the future of automotive design, straight from the world’s top manufacturers.

Car Buffs will spot everything from one-off hypercars to forgotten time capsules that have not seen daylight in decades.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
This weekend is not just a static parking lot show. Gearheads get actual access to the machinery that shaped an entire industry. The action runs parallel to the Broad Arrow’s Villa d’Este Classic Car Auction, where serious money changes hands for blue-chip metal.
Villa Erba is a stunning setting for the Amici & Automobili car show, which will prominently display some of the world’s best car collections
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Amici & Automobili – Wheels & Weißwürscht gathering puts a relaxed Bavarian spin on the traditional Cars and Coffee setup. In contrast, Sunday shifts focus to the Public Day – Il Festival, where Auto Fanatics can physically hear the engines roar and smell the unburnt fuel as the historic cars parade through the romantic parkland.

FEATURED CARS
While the 2026 marques of honor are still under wraps, the field is guaranteed to be a masterclass in diversity. Attendees should expect a meticulously selected roster ranging from pre-war European coachbuilt masterpieces to the raw, visceral power of American muscle and bespoke modern commissions.

The event has a storied history of debuting rare survivors and restorations that redefine the “gold standard” for the industry. Having previously toasted milestones like Porsche’s 75th Anniversary, the 2026 field will undoubtedly feature vehicles with impeccable provenance and numbers-matching purity—the kind of assets that set the pace for the global auction market.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Spanning the weekend of May 30–31, 2026, the event offers two distinct but equally prestigious experiences. The proceedings center on a rigorous judging process where classic and vintage rarities are scrutinized by the industry’s most discerning eyes to determine the season’s most significant winners.
Beyond the primary competition, guests can explore specialized displays highlighting the work of legendary coachbuilders and era-defining performance icons. Here, the “frame-off” restoration is the baseline, showcasing cars that have been returned to a state of mechanical and aesthetic perfection that often surpasses their original factory delivery.
The atmosphere is one of quiet, sophisticated luxury, where the historical gravity of each chassis is the primary focus. For the serious enthusiast, it is an unparalleled sanctuary of automotive culture.

GUEST HOSTS & CELEBRITIES
The Greenwich Concours traditionally assembles a formidable panel of adjudicators, including world-renowned designers, historians, and some of the most influential names in private collecting.
Although the 2026 honorary bench is currently being finalized, past chairmen and judges have represented the highest echelon of automotive knowledge. Their presence ensures that every award is a definitive statement on authenticity and the preservation of vehicle heritage.
Interacting with these industry titans adds a layer of intellectual depth to the weekend, making it as much an educational summit as it is a social highlight of the New England summer season.
