FuoriConcorso 2026: The allure of German engineering on Lake Como

On May 16 and 17, the elegant settings of Villa del Grumello and Villa Sucota, overlooking Lake Como, will host the 2026 edition of FuoriConcorso. After exploring different themes in past editions, this year the event chooses to focus on German automotive culture, celebrating its precision, rigor, and innovation through the “KraftMeister” concept, a synthesis of strength and mastery.

The event is an immersive journey into the heart of German design thinking, where technology, function, and aesthetics coexist in a balance that has shaped the history of the automobile. Not just an exhibition, but a narrative: from the production cars that introduced revolutionary solutions to the racing cars that have graced the world’s tracks.

Alongside these cornerstones, there will be space for concept cars and visionary prototypes, anticipating future design languages ​​and technologies, along with the most extreme interpretations by major German tuners. A comprehensive overview that highlights the ongoing evolution between tradition and experimentation.

The undisputed star of the show will be Mercedes-Benz, the main partner of this edition, with a journey spanning over a century of history: from the origins of the automobile to contemporary hypercars. This chronological narrative includes iconic models and legendary motorsports vehicles, symbols of an unparalleled technical legacy.

Porsche will also be present, with some of its most famous racing cars, and Audi, with a dedicated area showcasing its racing and technological history. Alongside these brands, there will also be space for exclusive brands and elite manufacturers, demonstrating an automotive culture capable of influencing every aspect of the industry, from design to performance.
