Concorso Italiano

The World's Largest Italian automobile gathering and lifestyle event held during Monterey Carweek!
(46)

Concorso Italiano® is the event born in the mid-1980s in Monterey, California. The event brings together numerous prestigious tricolore automotive brands which display their classic and road cars, enhancing the creative dialogue between product and passion in front of the demanding American public, on the undulating green fairways of the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course overlooking the Pacific Ocea

n. This is the most luxurious and well-known industry showcase of its kind, part of Monterey Car Week. The event is founded on a passion for Italian cars and motorcycles. Concorso Italiano brings together all the cultural elements of Made in Italy, including music, cuisine, fashion, travel and, of course, engines. The event gathers more than 1,000 Italian collector cars and motorcycles on the greens of the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course in Seaside every year in August: more than five thousand square meters of exhibition area, where supercars, concept-cars, one-offs, extremely limited series of today and yesterday are displayed side by side, parade and compete to be awarded by a selected jury. A day where you can breathe the true 360° tricolore passion: passion for Made in Italy engines and for the Bel Paese but also an opportunity for meeting international motoring personalities who share the love for Italy. Over the years it has distinguished itself by having an increasingly international scope, and the enthusiasts who participate come from all over the world. Eighty percent are entrepreneurs or professionals, and 70 percent are in the highest income bracket. Concorso Italiano® is also a major contributor to many local, national and international charities. In March 2020, Concorso launched an appeal to help doctors and communities support the people in Italy, especially the elderly, who were devastated by the Covid pandemic. The proceeds went to the Bergamo hospital and the CESVI Foundation to provide protective supplies for health care workers and support for affected and vulnerable families. In America, Concorso supports Habitat for Humanity, building homes for disadvantaged families.

Come join us at Concorso Italiano to witness this stunning 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta up close, along with many other rare and beautiful automobiles!

Don’t miss your chance to see these masterpieces of automotive history in person.

David Seielstad’s 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta. It was the eighth of nine built in 1949.

HISTORY: In 1948, Enzo, unhappy with the looks of the Ferraris built so far, arranged a meeting with Felice Bianchi Anderloni, the owner and founder of Carrozzeria Touring, telling him he wanted a car that was sporty, eye-catching and elegantly understated.

The body of the 166 MM was completed and while most of the interior was finished, no engine or drivetrain had been installed. The design was a sensation, but because of the modern design, journalists did not know what to call it. It was not a convertible or a cabriolet and there were no running boards or separate fenders, and the sides curved in below the belt line. Giovanni Canestrini declared it looked like a Barchetta— Italian for “little boat.” In 1949, one model of the 166 Barchetta won the Mille Miglia and Le Mans 24 hours, securing Ferrari as a world famous builder of elegant, race winning automobiles.

to 2014 when Lamborghini and Zagato united to celebrate Zagato's 95th and Lamborghini's 50th anniversary with the stunning 5-95 supercar!

Based on the iconic Lamborghini Gallardo LP570 Superleggera, the 5-95 features a 5.2L V10 engine with 570hp, achieving speeds of 200mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.5 seconds. Zagato's signature design elements, like the front floating spoiler and double-bubble roof with a roof scoop, make this car a true head-turner.
