This August, Concorso Italiano celebrates its 40th Anniversary, a time to reflect on the incredible community that has grown over four decades and to invite both returning and first-time participants to share in the experience. We welcome past entrants to return to the field to reminisce, reconnect, and rejoice — and encourage new owners to register, make likeminded friends, and take their place among hundreds of Italian cars at one of Monterey Car Week’s most iconic events.

This year we are celebrating our own legacy and major anniversaries for some of the most important Italian marques and models ever built.

115 Years of Alfa Romeo

The Alfa Romeo marque has defined passion, precision, and performance since 1910. From Grand Prix victories to unforgettable design, Alfa Romeo continues to inspire generations of enthusiasts

95th Anniversary of Pinninfarina

The legendary design house behind some of the most beautiful and influential cars in automotive history, Pinninfarina’s elegant lines and visionary style have shaped icons for nearly a century.

90th Anniversary of Lancia

From elegant touring cars to rally legends, Lancia has spent nearly a century leading through innovation. This special class pays tribute to one of Italy’s most historically rich manufacturers.

80th Anniversary of Cisitalia

Though small in size, Cisitalia had a massive impact on postwar design and motorsports. The 202 GT is still revered as one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

60th Anniversary of Iso Grifo

The Grifo fused Italian styling by Bertone with raw American V8 power, setting a standard for international grand touring. This year we celebrate its perfect blend of strength and beauty.

50th Anniversary of the Lancia Montecarlo

Launched in 1975, the sleek, mid-engine Montecarlo Scorpion was Lancia’s bold leap into Pininfarina-designed performance. It remains one of the brand’s most unique and collectible models.

50th Anniversary of the Ferrari 308

Launched in 1975 and instantly iconic, the 308 helped define the Ferrari brand for a generation. Its presence on the street — and on screen — made it an automotive icon.

50th Anniversary of the Fiat 131

The Fiat 131 rose from family sedan to rally hero with its Abarth competition roots. Its victories in the World Rally Championship are a testament to its unlikely performance pedigree.

30th Anniversary of the Ferrari F50

A road-going supercar with Formula 1 engineering, the F50 remains one of Ferrari’s most exclusive and raw creations. This class honors its unique role in Ferrari’s history.

25th Anniversary of the Lamborghini Diablo

The final chapter of the legendary Diablo line, the VT 6.0 delivered power, refinement, and unmistakable Lamborghini flair. This milestone pays tribute to a defining era of exotic performance.
