Australia's Concours d'Elegance

Over three days (23 — 25 October 2026), Autoclassica transforms the Royal Exhibition Building into a gallery of automotive mastery. More than 100 of the most significant motorcars — spanning century-old icons, competition legends, and modern hypercars — will be meticulously curated on the concours floor.

Beyond the machinery, visitors will immerse themselves in an environment of bespoke luxury, exclusive global unveilings, and rare private collections, all set against the breathtaking grandeur of Melbourne's architectural masterpiece.

A New Era

Autoclassica represents a sophisticated rebirth of Australia's premier motoring legacy, purposefully reimagined for longevity under a new generation of car enthusiasts and collectors. Set beneath the soaring dome of Melbourne's UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, the event seamlessly bridges timeless prestige with a forward-looking celebration of high design and automotive culture. This elegant duality is beautifully anchored in the brand's visual identity, where a classical emblem of a soaring Pegasus is framed by the striking, architectural grace of native Australian Waratah and Kangaroo Paw. By uniting a meticulously hand-selected field of 100 significant automobiles with an environment of premium luxury, Autoclassica delivers an uncompromising lifestyle experience where global tradition meets a proud, distinct sense of place.
