Considered by many to be one of the most innovative events during the famed Monterey Historics Week, this year’s Concorso Italiano will celebrate Italian style and design-forward fashion, cuisine, wine, art, music and above all else, legendary cars and motorcycles. There will be ten featured classes for 2018, as well as special coachworks and global exotics collections, comprised of non-Italian marques.

Nearly 1,000 rare and exotic Italian vehicles, selected from private collections around the world, will be on display. Featured marques will include, but are not limited to the following:

·         Alfa Romeo
·         De Tomaso
·         Ferrari
·         Fiat
·         Iso & Bizzarrini
·         Lamborghini
·         Lancia
·         Maserati 

Examples of some of the exceptional examples slated to be showcased at this year’s event include: 

·         2017 Ferrari F-12 TDF: Ferrari designed this model to pay homage to the Tour de France, the legendary endurance road race that Ferrari dominated in the 1950s and 1960s.The F-12 TDF is the ultimate expression of the concept of an extreme road car that is equally at home on the road as it is on the track. Only 799 have been built.

·         1951 Siata Gran Sport Spider: Based on the Fiat 1400, the Gran Sport Spyder was crafted extremely carefully, and was one of the largest models offered by Siata. It was known in the United States as the “little Ferrari” due to its incredible speed. Due to its age and the number built, this example is incredibly rare.

·         1952 O.S.C.A. MT4: O.S.C.A., an Italian manufacturer of racing and sports cars, was established 1947 by the Maserati brothers. In their day, the MT4 model cars were exceptionally expensive but extraordinarily fast. Only 72 were built.
