Five unforgettable cars from the most prestigious Concorso in Italy.
2022’s round has only been my second time at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, an event first hosted in 1929 by the prestigious hotel on Lake Como’s shores. My first lucky weekend was back in 2013, and while I wouldn’t consider myself to be any less excited about automobiles these days, what would stay with me after such a high-end show is only getting harder to guess.

For me, the 700 RS was the winner of the 2022 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Purposefully fragile, highly original, still ready for action, refreshingly different, and as rare as BMWs get.This piece of Italian Americana, I did not expect at all. I kept circling back to this car, admiring the combination of Lancia’s advanced chassis and Ghia’s stunning early 1950s body design clearly aimed at the American market.
