The Miami Concours is one of those bucket list activities any car enthusiast should attend at least once – and especially in February, when it’s freezing cold in the rest of the country. It will return to the Miami Design District for its seventh edition, titled “Design Driven: The Intersection of Auto, Art and Fashion” from February 16-18, 2024.
And what is it, exactly? The Miami Concours is a three-day exhibition of the world’s most significant post-war automobiles and examples of excellence in modern design and engineering, expertly placed throughout the Miami Design District.
And what is the Miami Design District? It’s a one-of-a-kind neighborhood that combines luxury shopping, galleries, museums, design stores, restaurants and major art and design installations, all within an architecturally significant context.
Lest you get the impression this is another boring car gathering skewing strictly to old-timers, the event is also primed to be an industry disruptor, organically integrating fashion, architecture and design into an automotive experience, and ultimately attracting enthusiasts in all categories to attend.
At the 2023 show earlier this year, visitors were treated to ultra-rare, ultra-expensive rides like the limited Centenario. the Diablo, the legendary Miura and the Lamborghini Concept S. Also in attendance were Ferrari's Enzo and F40, the Bugatti Divo, and Paganis galore.
Part of the fun of walking around an event like this is seeing cars from different eras right up against each other.
Even the most untrained eye can appreciate how much times change, designs radically adjust and advancements in technology evoke head-shaking at we humans and how we get around since the last horse trotted out to pasture.
With the District as its backdrop, The Miami Concours stands out against the other annual auto events both because of its location and its masterfully curated car showcase. The event is the first of its kind in Miami, too, bringing together high design, luxury, fashion, design and architecture, all through the lens of the automotive industry.
