The aim of this Roma Spider in particular is to highlight innovative component production techniques, enabled through the use of special, refined supplies. Standing out among these is work on the fabric in the central panel of the seats with manual stitching that adopts leather from the interior and applies thread obtained from recycled tyres.

The 2024 season will go down as one of the most successful in Porsche's long-distance history: in just the second year with the Porsche 963, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart won seven of eight possible titles together with the works team Porsche Penske Motorsport. The basis for this result was the consistent improvement of the team structure as well as the work on the reliability and performance of the around 515 kW (700 PS) hybrid prototype.

The success story of the Porsche 963

The eponymous Pagani Automobili S.p.A was founded by Argentine-Italian Horacio Pagani in 1992, with the first production car, the Zonda C12, being presented at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. This formed the backbone of production, with a number of bespoke variants, through to the introduction of the Huayra model in 2011, again at the Geneva Motor Show, with the production run also containing a number of bespoke examples.

Whereas the majority of museums feature a constant display theme, the pair of Ferrari museums in Maranello and Modena ring the changes with themed exhibitions through the course of the year. Thus, there is always a good reason for a return visit. The Ferrari Museum in Maranello also features its regular amphitheatre-style display of Formula One cars, with the entrance walls containing trophies and images of the drivers who have won them through the years.

Best Sports Car of all Time’s 70th: Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR

In 2025, the legendary Mille Miglia victory by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson will celebrate its 70th anniversary! The two pilots were competing for Mercedes-Benz in a 300 SLR. At 7:22 a.m. they rolled off the starting ramp in Brescia (hence the race number 722) and after 10 hours, 7 minutes and 48 seconds they had made it all the way to Rome and back. 1,000 miles at an average speed of 157.651 km/h on public roads, an eternal record!

On 18 February 2024, the new “Ferrari One of a Kind” exhibition at the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena was officially inaugurated. The display celebrates the craftsmanship behind each unique masterpiece that emerges from the Ferrari factory gates thanks to the exclusive personalisation programme offered by the company’s three Tailor Made centres in Maranello, New York and Shanghai. Now open to the public, the exhibition reveals the exclusivity of these one-of-a-kind cars, each expressing the personality, taste and desires of individual Ferrari owners.

The new Exhibition "Supercars" Opens at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena

The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in 1963.

Already more then 1.000.000+ images from the barchetta / anamera image archive were published, the images contain chassis numbers,

The Museo Lamborghini (Lamborghini Museum) fronts part of the Lamborghini factory on the SP255 Via Modena in Sant’Agata Bolognese, between Nonantola and San Giovanni in Persiceto, approximately a 30-minute drive from the centre of Modena. The modern glass fronted structure first opened in 2001 to present a timeline of the company’s production for enthusiasts of the marque, being updated and expanded in 2016, to provide more exhibition space as the range of cars increased through the years.

The Concours of Elegance closed its doors on 07 September 2025 after another glorious event, held over three days in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace, in west London.

For the second year in succession the Ferrari Owners’ Club held their combined track day and annual concours at the Goodwood circuit in West Sussex over the weekend of 16-17 July, 2025. The gathering enjoyed pleasantly warm weather during the UK’s long hot and dry summer, which attracted a good turnout of members and their Ferraris over the weekend. Saturday was track day, which provided plenty of time for members to exercise their cars on the circuit, which, as it did last year, proved very popular.

Salon Privé presented by Aviva Private Clients celebrated its 20th anniversary in style at its regular venue of Blenheim Palace between 27-31 August 2025. The palace wasn’t looking its usual impressive self, as a multi-million-pound roof renovation project meant that much of its splendour was hidden by plastic sheeting clad scaffolding. Similarly, the normally bright green lawns looked a rather sad yellow due to the particularly dry summer.


The 2025 edition of the Goodwood Revival Meeting was held over the weekend of 12-14 September, once again attracting enormous crowds to the picturesque Sussex circuit for another sell-out meeting. This was despite somewhat inclement weather in the days leading up to the event, and also over the weekend, which made the car park fields somewhat quaggy in places, much to the dismay of those who became bogged down.

autoClássico, one of Portugal’s major classic car shows, was held at its regular venue of the city’s Exponor exhibition centre, close to the airport.

As with many classic car shows and events in 2025 there was a celebration of the 75th anniversary of Formula One, with displays in the main hall.

Some cars are born to be, and remain, timeless. They are “forever” cars because they embody that perfect blend of taste, passion, function, and performance that defines true masterpieces. Villa La Massa Excellence, an event dedicated to the most extraordinary supercars and hypercars of recent years, created in collaboration with Canossa, presented, on October 17 through 19, 2025 precisely this type of vehicle.

Over four days, the event drew approximately 238,000 visitors — its highest attendance to date. The circuit welcomed nearly 700 racing cars in action, while around 9,200 collector vehicles filled the display areas around the track, with even more gathered in the surrounding car parks. These cars represented 220 international clubs and more than 80 manufacturers. The competition covered an expanded historical spectrum: the six traditional racing grids were joined by three additional support “plateaux”, featuring cars ranging from 1923 to 2010.

The undulating Mugello circuit in the Tuscan hills, to the north of Florence, was the venue for the 2025 end of season Ferrari Finali Mondiali. Just as had been the case with the 2024 edition at Imola, the event was blighted by rain, although not to quite the same intensity. Nonetheless, it made for difficult conditions, whether one was a driver, official, engineer or a visitor. Despite the predominantly miserable weather there were some 25,000 attendees over the course of the weekend.
