When the pandemic threatens a showcase for some of the greatest Supercar The organizers will go to great lengths to ensure that the event continues. In the case of the luxury car exhibition Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which took place on the Italian shores of Lake Como on the weekend of October 1st, makers and makers canceled the more public Villa Erba event and appeased the crowd with a lot of money by they made the affair more exclusive than ever. This made it more difficult for less opulent Gatecrasher to marvel at classic luxury items of the 90s, ranging from the super-fast and super-rare McLaren F1 to the coveted Ferrari F50.
Cream of the 90s supercar harvest
Scattered across the paved driveways and manicured lawns were some of the most famous and top performing hypercars of the 1990s, although it is doubtful that “hypercar” was a popular catchphrase at the time. The prices of some of the cars featured were also high, like a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, which costs up to $ 4.5 million, and a Porsche 911 GT1, which was all the rage on the Le Mans circuit.
With pretty much every make or model from this decade at some point during the weekend, including two Bugatti EB110s (an SS and a GT), a Jaguar XJ220, and even the iconic Lamborghini Countach, the car that was the template for the future created the automaker’s vehicles.
Parade round of luxury

The video was partly an homage to the luxury rides of the 90s and partly an opportunity to showcase their mobile goods. The parade lap segment of the exhibit showed that most vehicles crawling along the driveway open double doors so that viewers can take a look at these ornate interiors, not to mention the beaming faces of the people behind the wheel.
Some of them even tried doing a few mini burnouts, though it almost didn’t go as well for a supercar driver who hit the gas and ended up with a fishtail tail that nearly obliterated some onlookers.
Hypercar event usually in May

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este usually takes place in May, but postponed to October due to the pandemic. Obviously, thanks to this annoying Delta variant, that wasn’t the case, so it made sense to opt for a less public event. However, the organizers also didn’t post any precautions attendees had to take, whether it was double vaccination passes or negative test reports, which makes the lack of masks and social distancing in the video all the more weird.
