Exhibitions and experiences

Per gli appassionati del marchio tedesco e non solo, Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2020 sarà un’edizione da ricordare. L’occasione è un anniversario unico nella storia: nel 1970 Porsche trionfava a Le Mans, conquistando i primi 3 posti con due 917 e una 908, oltre ad aggiudicarsi la coppa Gran Turismo, l’indice di resa energetica e l’indice di performance della rinomata gara francese. Dalla The CLARO collection di Claudio Roddaro ad Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2020 vedremo riuniti modelli eccezionali con un passato sportivo ai massimi livelli.

La collezione delle “Moto dei Miti” di Genesio Bevilacqua è tale da far commuovere i più esperti tra gli appassionati e, nel 2020, farà il suo ingresso trionfale ad Auto e Moto d’Epoca con circa 20 modelli eccezionali e unici, raccolti nella mostra “L’uomo che ha sconfitto i giganti”. La storia è quella dell’Althea Racing, scuderia indipendente che ha saputo tenere testa alle più grandi case motociclistiche laureandosi per cinque volte Campione del Mondo nella categoria Superbike e Superstock. Esposta la Ducati di Checa, Capirossi e Stoner oltre a molte altre.

MAUTO is one of the most famous automotive museums in the world and it boasts a collection of the most rare and interesting vehicles, with over 200 originals from 80 different brands from all over the world. Some of the star models of the MAUTO brand collection will be exhibited at Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2019: this selection includes two exceptional vehicles. The first is a true pioneer of the car-racing era: the Itala 35/45 HP which won the incredible Peking-to-Paris race in 1907, covering 16,000 kilometers in only 60 days. The second is a Fiat 18/24 HP 1908 gifted to the Museum by Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia, the man whose name is indissolubly tied to the Museum itself. He is the person who came up with the initial idea of putting together the original museum collection and fought for it to be established and to be given a respectable location.

Exclusive to the 2018 edition was the participation of Shelby American, the creator of the Cobra and Daytona Cobra which, in the Granturismo competitions of the 60s, battled it out against the Ferrari 250 GTOs for the winning spots on the podium. The Cobra Shelby was originally a British closed coupé - the AC Ace - to which absolutely disproportionate motors were applied in relation to its size (the Ford V8). Carroll Shelby, former winning pilot in the 1959 Le Mans race and founder of Shelby American, continued to work with Ford and other American houses to create high-performance models. Among these, there is the legendary Dodge Viper, which ignited American manufacturers' passion for supercars.

ACI and ASI won over the public at Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2017 with an exhibition entirely dedicated to the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, to allow all visitors to experience the thrills of one of the great classic motoring races. Some of the racing cars which made the history of the Monza Grand Prix were displayed at the show, along with the original trophy claimed by Jules Gould, in 1921, on the occasion of the first Formula 1 race, which was held on that circuit.
