Revigliasco Torinese, 29 September 2025 – A sunny Sunday transformed the hillside village of Revigliasco Torinese into an international stage for automotive elegance. More than 5,000 visitors admired over 80 unique historic cars from across the world during the fourth edition of the Concorso d’Eleganza Festival Car, which this year entered the calendar of FIVA as a prestigious “Premier Event”.
The highlight was the announcement of a Ferrari F40 as Best of Show. An icon of the 1980s, the car won both jury and public acclaim, receiving a trophy designed by Giugiaro Architettura in collaboration with Alcantara. Category awards also celebrated excellence across a wide spectrum, with winners including an Abarth 1000 SP, Lancia Flaminia Super Sport Zagato, Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3, Maserati A6G Frua Spyder III Serie and Dino 246 GT Gallettone.
Beyond the competition, the Festival Car offered a journey through over a century of automotive history and design. Visitors admired not only pioneering vehicles such as the Lancia Lambda, but also refined Italian sports cars of the 1950s as well as international icons such as the AC Cobra 427 and BMW Z8 Roadster. Rare jewels like the Lurani Nibbio stood alongside unique concept cars including the Ferrari Mythos, Pagani Alisea and Kangaroo by GFG Style. The event also built a bridge to the future with the world premiere of the Microlino ‘55 Edition, blending a unique combination of design innovation with sustainability.
The setting also played an essential role in the success of the event. For a single day, Revigliasco Torinese became an de facto open-air museum, with its streets and squares brimming with automotive masterpieces. The Tour d’Elegance, which departed from the UNESCO World Heritage Royal Castle of Moncalieri, provided one of the most engaging moments, culminating with the arrival of the cars in the town center, animated by music, street food and charity initiatives. The dynamic appearance of the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale added further prestige and thrilled enthusiasts.
The inclusion of the Festival Car among FIVA’s Premiere Events represents an important milestone for a concours event launched only in 2022. This recognition not only underscores the growth of the popularity and professionalism of the event but also the importance of FIVA’s mission: to promote the culture and preservation of historic vehicles worldwide. During the day, FIVA Steward George Ioannides of Cyprus presented Federico Ferrero, founder and organizer of the event, with the Spirit of FIVA Award, praising the quality of the organization and the work of a distinguished international jury. This award reinforced the alignment between the Festival Car and FIVA’s values of authenticity, heritage protection and shared passion.
Accordingly, the 2025 edition of Festival Car confirms FIVA’s central role as a global reference for historic motoring. Through its recognition as a Premiere Event and the presentation of the Spirit of FIVA Award, FIVA emphasizes its commitment to supporting initiatives that go beyond exhibitions to become cultural experiences. These gatherings connect collectors, enthusiasts, institutions and new generations, ensuring that the passion for historic vehicles continues to inspire worldwide.
