Lamborghini Commemorates Motorsport at Lake Como with Countach Pace Car

Rare Lamborghini Exhibits Dazzle at Concorso d’Eleganza Events

Lamborghini left a notable impact at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and Fuoriconcorso events in Lake Como from May 24 to 25, 2025. These esteemed events honor the craftsmanship and engineering of vintage automobiles, with the former acknowledging historical vehicles for their design and technical excellence, while the latter, themed “Velocissimo,” emphasized racing legacy. Lamborghini vehicles were prominently showcased at both events, culminating in an exhibition of the brand's rich history.

At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, a notable entry was a 1972 Miura SV, which epitomized Lamborghini’s heritage and was the only Lamborghini participant in the event. This edition, featuring a vivid red exterior, received certification from Lamborghini Polo Storico in 2018 and represents the pinnacle of the esteemed Miura, recognized as the inaugural supercar globally. The Miura SV, classified in Class C, titled “Renaissance: The Post-War European Sports Car Comes of Age,” distinguished itself by its distinctive certification and the growing significance of Polo Storico at prominent international concours. It has lately been showcased at other esteemed events, including The ICE on the frozen St. Moritz lake, underscoring its continued significance in the automotive domain.

Concurrently, Fuoriconcorso took place in the exquisite grounds of Villa Grumello and Villa Sucota. This event focused on racing vehicles, showcasing various remarkable Lamborghinis from history. A prominent participant was a Diablo SVR, which recently visited Lamborghini’s headquarters to commence the acquisition of its Certificate of Authenticity from Polo Storico, with confirmation still pending. Moreover, the Countach LP400 S, renowned as the "Countach Pace Car," was also in attendance. This emblematic car functioned as the Safety Car during the 1981 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, establishing its legendary status in motorsport history.

At the ceremony, the Countach Pace Car received its Certificate of Authenticity from Lamborghini Polo Storico, accompanied by a certification book outlining all reviewed features, which was given to the car’s owner at Villa Grumello. A vintage Formula 1 automobile from the Lamborghini Museum collection further enhanced Lamborghini's presence at Fuoriconcorso, attracting the interest of aficionados and visitors.
