2007 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este


Classic Meets Modern

  • Beauty contest for classic automobiles and cutting-edge concept cars at Lake Como
  • Enzo Naso designs new event poster

The most traditional of all beauty contests for classic automobiles and contemporary concept cars � the Concorso d�Eleganza Villa d�Este � takes place on 21 and 22 April next year in Cernobbio on Lake Como.

In addition to numerous exceptional classics, a range of forward-looking concept cars and prototypes will contribute to this colourful gathering against the picturesque backdrop of the aristocratic Grand Hotel Villa d�Este. This is the image reproduced on the official event poster for 2007, designed by Italian artist Enzo Naso. Taking his inspiration from last year�s winning cars, the Ferrari 410 Super America Coup� of 1959 and the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider concept car, Naso has designed a poster that juxtaposes black-and-white and colour drawings to highlight the appeal of the Concorso under its motto �Classic meets modern�.

Year after year, fans of dream cars from the past and design aficionados alike relish the display of four-wheeled gems when the international jury presents such coveted prizes as the Coppa d�Oro Villa d�Este, the Trofeo BMW Group and the Concorso d�Eleganza Villa d�Este Design Award. 2007 sees the ninth successive staging of the event under the patronage of the BMW Group.
