Ferrari Australasia announces the inaugural Ferrari Concorso d’Eleganza Sydney

The inaugural Ferrari Concorso d’Eleganza Sydney will celebrate Australia’s passion for all things Prancing Horse, with the event scheduled to take place over three days in late November and early December in the suitably rarified setting of Palm Beach, NSW.

More than 50 pristine examples of iconic Ferrari vehicles will gather on the lawns of Palm Beach Golf Club from Friday 29 November to Sunday 1 December 2024, to showcase a stunning cross-section of the Italian brand’s illustrious back catalogue.

The Event promises to be the most significant display of Ferrari history in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Concorso d’Eleganza format includes competitive judging by an independent panel of highly qualified experts endorsed by Cavallino, Inc. Judges will evaluate the cars using the same rigorous criteria used at previous Cavallino Classic events in Florida, Modena and Abu Dhabi. 

Cars scoring at least 97 out of 100 points in Concorso judging are acknowledged with a Platinum Award. From those, class winners and a coveted Best of Show are selected. 

Honours will be awarded to the leading vehicles within the following categories: 

• Supercars – open to GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo. LaFerrari, as a ‘young timer’, will be accepted for non-competitive display

• V8 – open to all Ferrari V8 models up to the 360 Modena

• V12 – open to all Ferrari V12 models up to the 550 Maranello

• Limited Series – open to 550 Barchetta Pininfarina, 575 SuperAmerica, 348 GTC and 360 Challenge Stradale

• Testarossa – a special class celebrating the model’s 40th anniversary, open to all variants of Testarossa including the 512TR and 512M

Two further categories showcasing modern icons will also be displayed.

• Icona – open to Monza SP1/SP2 and Daytona SP3

• Special & Limited Series – open to limited production Ferrari models such as the 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale, 488 Pista, 599 GTO, F12 TdF, 812 Competizione and more.

Modern entries will be eligible to win People’s Choice honours, as they are yet to fall within the age bracket for Concorso judging. 

The event is open to Ferrari clients and members of the public with organisers promising a family-friendly atmosphere and offering children under 14 able free entry with a ticketholder, while those under 25 are eligible for concession entry.

A selection of Sydney’s most celebrated names in food and beverage will also be on hand to provide sustenance, with a variety of additional activities and entertainment taking place.

For those who’d prefer to avoid the risk of the F40 overheating in Sydney’s bumper to bumper summer traffic, there’s the option to arrive by seaplane, landing at an exclusive Casa Ferrari hospitality venue neighbouring the Golf Club.

“We are thrilled to introduce Ferrari Concorso d’Eleganza Sydney for the Ferrari community in our region,” said Jan Hendrik Voss, President of Ferrari Australasia.

“Its position late in the calendar and the relaxed setting of Palm Beach make this a perfect moment for us to gather with clients and fans and celebrate another exciting year together, surrounded by some of this region’s finest Ferrari vehicles.”
