THE CONCOURS CLASSES

Evolution of Aero

SPONSORED BY EMM LONDON

The smallest change in a racing car’s aerodynamics can make the difference between glory or disaster. The matter of a mere millimetre here or there can mean seconds lost over a lap. Aerodynamics are also key to keeping the fastest road cars sucked to the Tarmac despite vertiginous horsepower figures. Our retrospective collection takes in the controversial story of cleaving the air, from trailblazers such as the Plymouth Superbird to that ultimate expression of art and science, the McLaren P1.

Golden-Age Coupés

SPONSORED BY DUNHILLION

Here’s a chance to get up close to some of the most majestic models from a golden period in car design; the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was an era of high-octane seduction, rendered in beautiful form. You can expect to see masterpieces of British motoring beauty such as the Aston Martin DB5 and Jaguar E-type alongside the finest German temptations like a Porsche 356C and Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. Oh, and we can’t forget Italian style in the form of Maserati and Ferrari.

60 Years of Lamborghini

SPONSORED BY MOSS AUTOMOTIVE

There is nothing quite like a Lamborghini – right from its beginnings, the brand has taken a singular path in the quest for automotive perfection. We’ve picked out the rarest and most significant V12-engined examples from the Sant’Agata-based marque’s illustrious back catalogue. From supercar royalty such as the Miura, Countach and Diablo, to the refined GTs that were founder Ferruccio Lamborghini’s favourites, like the Espada and Islero, it’s time to take the bull by the horns.

Wild Cards

PRESENTED BY CONCOURS OF ELEGANCE

Every year at London Concours we have to turn away rare and spectacular cars simply because they don’t fit within any of that year’s feature classes. But for 2023 our new Wild Cards line-up gives them a platform to shine. A celebration of the diversity of the automotive scene, told through the cars that were too good to turn down. Where else can you see 1990s futurism such as the Honda NSX and BMW 850 CSi alongside flamboyant 1950s roadsters such as the BMW 507 and a 1921 Leyat Helica?
