The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is held against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Como in Cernobbio and this iconic event represents the epitome of a traditional Concours d’Élégance. The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este was launched in the year when BMW commenced automobile production. It symbolises over a century of automotive excellence. The collaboration between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce was directed towards crafting the finest cars in the world and the Rolls-Royce brand was born, now the pinnacle marque within the BMW Group. The splendid array of extraordinary Historic Vehicles presented at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este offers an insight into the illustrious history of many different companies and designers whose legacies have left an enduring mark on the automotive landscape. French writer André Malraux’s assertion that “If you want to design the future, you must leaf through the past” aptly applies to the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW, and Rolls-Royce alike.
