"Retro Classics has been a fixture for all those who live and breathe automotive passion for a quarter of a century. We would like to offer our sincere congratulations on the 25th anniversary and are proud to have been part of this success story for many years. This year's Motorworld Group presentation demonstrated how vibrant, diverse, and innovative the scene is. We were particularly delighted to welcome Dr. Andrea Zagato, who stands for design culture and automotive excellence like no other. The anniversary provided the ideal setting to present the Motorworld brand as a forum for automotive culture, lifestyle, and trade with a line-up of exceptional quality in terms of diversity, exclusivity, and brand strength. A big thank you goes to our partners and co-exhibitors, who once again made the Motorworld booth one of the most exciting meeting places at the trade fair. We look forward to taking this energy with us to our Motorworld locations."
Sarah Dünkel, CCO Motorworld Group
"We were able to fully exploit the great potential and special aura of the atrium. The special exhibition for Hans Herrmann HH97 was extremely well received by all visitor groups. We always had a full house, so to speak—in some cases, we even had to close. It was a complete success. Ultimately, this was also thanks to the excellent cooperation with the trade fair, and it proved once again that when everyone pulls together, great things can be achieved. It was a worthy anniversary year, and we were really happy to have been part of it."
Tobias Aichaele, Solitude GmbH

We met some wonderful people and made new contacts. It was simply enjoyable and the atmosphere was very positive overall—I can only recommend it!”

As the Mercedes-Benz brand club community, we can look back on an extremely successful RETRO CLASSICS® Stuttgart 2026.

In this anniversary year in particular, it became clear that Retro Classics is an outstanding meeting place for tradition, enthusiasm, and automotive passion."
Lukas Wegener, Mercedes-Benz Markenclubs
“Thursday was already well attended, and Friday was once again a day with an enormous rush of visitors to our stand after many years. The trade fair was a success for us. Many of our social media fans visit us every year at RETRO CLASSICS®, which of course makes us very happy!”
Heinz Raab, Raab Automobile
"We took this year's Retro Classics as an opportunity to officially launch our anniversary celebration, ‘Raceborn – 75 Years of Porsche Motorsport’. In addition to its international significance, the regional ties of Retro Classics also hold a special appeal for us. The trade fair always serves as a meeting place for us to talk to fans of the brand, former employees, and companions. In addition to four special racing cars, visitors to the fair this year also had the opportunity to meet Le Mans overall winner and brand ambassador Timo Bernhard, as well as Porsche works driver and DTM winner Ayhancan Güven – a successful start to our anniversary year!"
Philipp Ehle, Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG

We meet important customers here, maintain existing contacts, and establish many new ones.”
