The peaks of German automotive engineering took the center stage across Villa del Grumello, Villa Sucota, and Villa Olmo last weekend at FuoriConcorso, one of the world's most exclusive and influential car cultural events on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. Under the “KraftMeister” theme — roughly translating to strength and mastery — the event became a curated tribute to German automotive culture, spanning Mercedes-Benz heritage displays, Porsche air-cooled icons, Audi’s motorsport lineage, BMW touring car history, and the iconic orange Jägermeister racing cars alongside restomods, rare one-offs and concepts, and contemporary reinterpretations of performance engineering.
At FuoriConcorso, the automobile is treated as both industrial object and cultural artifact rather than pure spectacle.
