Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2026 concludes in Bologna

The 43rd edition of Auto e Moto d’Epoca has concluded at BolognaFiere, marking a significant growth for the European historic motoring sector. The event saw a 30% increase in international exhibitors and visitors from 34 different countries.

Major automotive brands used the platform for significant anniversaries. Lancia celebrated 120 years with an exhibition of motorsport icons, including the Stratos and Delta Integrale. Maserati marked its centenary by showcasing the 1972 Ghibli SS Coupé alongside the modern GranTurismo Trofeo. The event also featured the ‘Icons of Speed’ exhibition, highlighting endurance racing legends from Le Mans and Daytona.

Market trends indicated a preference for high-end, rare, and luxury collector items, while the segment for vehicles under 50,000 euros faced more economic challenges. The Honda NSX was named ‘Best of Show’ at the Youngclassic and ACI Storico awards. Looking ahead, organizers announced the ‘Only Classics’ exhibition scheduled for February 2027 in Padua.
