Unbroken passion for everything on wheels - the scene is alive and well

The scene and the internal combustion engine are alive - and how! From the "shot glass class" to heavy-duty tractors, the driving culture scene is active and indulges in one of the most beautiful sidelines in the world, the classic car hobby. The scene and the industry are booming, with all events reporting record attendance and satisfied participants. There is no substitute for personal encounters and the corresponding networking, only more encounters, as offered by the largest trade fair for driving culture, Stuttgart's RETRO CLASSICS®.

 

Statutory size, celebrated diversity and pure emotion

After the great success in spring 2023 with more than 85,000 visitors, the 23rd edition of RETRO CLASSICS® from 25-28. From the nursery of mobility, the cradle of the automobile and the "riding car" to pre-war classics, old and youngtimers to exclusive NEO CLASSICS®, everything will be there, this applies just as much to scooters, US cars and historic commercial vehicles - from "A" like Allgaier to "M" like Manta to "Z" like Zündapp, RETRO CLASSICS® Stuttgart will bring the international scene together and manifest its reputation as the trade fair for driving culture! And: It awakens emotions and fond memories - the first car, the moped from your youth, the long sought-after brochure for the vehicle....

 

Lower, wider, faster - the tuning icons of the 80s and 90s

Individuality is above everything. This zeitgeist characterized the 1980s and 90s in particular, when automotive individuality seemed to have no limits: Widened bodies in the "Testarossa look," sweeping front and rear spoilers, and mostly garish effect paint jobs turned staid everyday off-the-rack vehicles into veritable birds of paradise. No one was spared, whether from VW, Opel, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche or Ferrari, they were all unrecognizable after an "individualization cure". The large special show "Lower, wider, faster - the tuning icons of the 80s and 90s" at RETRO CLASSICS® 2024 will take visitors on a journey through time and show that (almost) anything was possible back then. You can look forward to this and other, unique special shows, about which we will inform you shortly.
