On the shores of Lake Como, the world-renowned Concorso d’Eleganza Villa D’Este brought together owners and aficionados of historic vehicles from right around the world. The world’s foremost classic and vintage show is celebrating both the past and the future vehicles.
1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Spider Zagato won Trofeo BMW Group – Best in Show by the Jury, while 1950 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta Touring took The Coppa d’Oro Villa d’Este – Best of Show by Public Referendum at Villa d’Este.
2015 Design Award for Concept Cars & Prototypes celebrates the exciting future of the automobile industry and was presented to Bentley’s Design Director, Luc Donkerwolke for BENTLEY EXP 10 SPEED 6. The judges decided the EXP 10 Speed 6 was the finest model on show.
“EXP 10 Speed 6 is the most talked-about concept car of recent times and was the star of the show in Geneva earlier this year. Since then it has visited New York and Shanghai gauging reaction from dealers, customers and the media,” said Bentley Design Director Luc Donkerwolke. “This highly coveted award is further proof of the success of our quintessentially British design.”
Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este has taken place every year since 1929.
After the exhibition and the parade in Villa d’Este on Saturday and the parade in Villa Erba on a sunny Sunday the results for Vintage Cars and public referendum for modern “Concept Cars” of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2015 are as following.
