St. Moritz hosted the 2026 edition of The ICE – International Concours of Elegance , confirming its position as one of the most prestigious and evocative events on the international automotive scene. On the frozen Engadine lake, legendary cars and design icons brought to life an event capable of uniting culture, style, and automotive history, with the support of main partner Richard Mille .
The 2026 edition featured a selection of top-tier cars, awarded in various official categories, offering the public a cross-section of the evolution of sports and collectible cars.
Best in Show
The most prestigious award was given to the 1937 Talbot-Lago T150C SS “Teardrop,” a true masterpiece of the pre-war era. Its aerodynamic lines, refined construction, and historical significance make it one of the finest expressions of 1930s European automotive design.
Legendary Liveries
The category dedicated to the most iconic liveries awarded the Lancia Stratos , an undisputed symbol of the rally world. A car that defined an era not only for its sporting successes, but also for its visual identity that has become part of the collective imagination.
Open Wheels
In the single-seater category, the award went to the Maserati 4CLT , a testament to the golden age of open-wheel racing. A car that represents the technical and sporting excellence of the Trident brand in the post-war period.
Birth of the Hypercar
The Jaguar XJ220 has been recognized as the forerunner of the modern hypercar concept. Introduced in the early 1990s, it anticipated the performance, technical solutions, and design language that would define the segment for decades to come.
Barchettas on the Lake
The award for racing barchettas went to the Ferrari 750 Monza , a pure example of essentiality and racing vocation. A car that embodies the philosophy of 1950s racing sports cars.
Icons on Wheels
Still a protagonist, the Talbot-Lago Teardrop also received recognition as an absolute icon on wheels, underlining its transversal value between art, engineering and design.
Best Sound
The award for sound went to the Pontiac Vivant , capable of standing out for its powerful and recognisable mechanical voice, an element that is increasingly appreciated also in concours d’elegance.
With the 2026 edition, The ICE confirms its position not only as a concours d’elegance, but as an international cultural event, capable of narrating the automobile through different eras, styles, and languages, in one of the most iconic settings in the world.
