Anne Brockinton Lee’s 1956 Pinin Farina-bodied model won the 2026 Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille. The 1933 Delage D8 SS and the Bugatti Brouillard also won awards.
A 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica is the queen of postwar cars at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille 2026. In the gardens of the French château, the Maranello-based grand tourer won Best of Show in its category, joined in the roll of honor by the 1933 Delage D8 SS, winner among pre-war cars, and the Bugatti Brouillard, honored in the section dedicated to concept cars, restomods, and one-offs. The three awards reflect the image of an event capable of bringing together different eras and interpretations of the automobile.
The winning Ferrari belongs to Anne Brockinton Lee and comes from her collection in Nevada. The one-off bodywork by Pinin Farina is paired with a 4.9-liter Lampredi V12. Already acclaimed at Salon Privé, where it took second place and the public’s choice, the Superamerica also won the class dedicated to Italian coachbuilding at Chantilly.
The pre-war award went to Marc Vogel’s Delage D8 SS. Among the contemporary creations, Michel Peridon’s Bugatti Brouillard stood out, the first example of the Solitaire program dedicated to the manufacturer’s unique cars. Next in line was the Alpine Lacoste A290 Rallye, presented to the public with a white body and red cockpit.
Even beyond the awards, the exhibition offered numerous attractions: from the Ferrari F40 to the experimental 1960 Pininfarina X, to the Rover TCZ in the Zagato selection. Among the more unusual exhibits were Michelotti’s Ferrari 365 GTC/4 Beach Car and Piero Taruffi’s Nardi Bisiluro.
