A Celebration of Power, Prestige, and Innovation 

Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance 2025 showcased rare classics, cutting-edge supercars, and luxury innovations, cementing its place as Australia’s premier motoring event.

Sydney’s Cockatoo Island became the epicenter of luxury motoring as the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance returned for its seventh edition from February 28 to March 2.  

This year’s event showcased an extraordinary lineup of over 70 rare and prestigious vehicles from 1905 to 2025 in Australia’s most exclusive celebration of automotive craftsmanship. 

Against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour, attendees were treated to a world-class display of automotive excellence, from pre-war classics to modern hypercars and groundbreaking electric innovations. 

A Weekend of Automotive Excellence 

The “Magnificent 7” theme honoured the most celebrated vehicles in motoring history. Among the standout displays were a 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS and a 1967 Lamborghini Miura, two of the most revered icons of automotive design. 

Magneto Magazine noted the diversity of the showcase, which included curated classes such as “100 Years of the French Revolution” and “Icons,” while Exhaust Notes Australia reported that more than 75 vintage, classic, and high-performance vehicles, motorcycles, and sustainable energy were exhibited throughout the weekend. 

The event unfolded across three distinctive showcase days: 

  • Le Classique (Friday): A tribute to vintage and pre-war motoring masterpieces. 
  • Super Saturday: A celebration of modern supercars and performance legends. 
  • Sunday Électronique: A look toward the future of motoring, featuring electric hypercars and sustainable luxury innovations. 

Beyond the automobiles, guests indulged in private viewings, gourmet dining, and immersive brand experiences, cementing the Concours as a benchmark event in the global luxury automotive calendar. 

The Citizen Kanebridge Lounge: An Exclusive Retreat 

For those seeking the ultimate luxury experience, the Citizen Kanebridge Lounge offered an unparalleled retreat within the event.  

The lounge, reserved for VIP guests, provided a sophisticated escape with private hospitality, fine dining, and curated wines and spirits tastings. 

Special talks from industry experts, car designers, and collectors were held throughout the weekend, offering an insider’s perspective on the future of luxury motoring. 

The Rolls-Royce Spectre Steals the Show 

Among the many highlights, one vehicle commanded particular attention: the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Spectre, the marque’s first fully electric luxury coupé.  

Crowned Robb Report’s Car of the Year, the Spectre was hailed as a defining moment in automotive history. 

Horacio Silva, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, presented the award to Juliana Tan of Rolls-Royce (pictured). The award recognised the Spectre’s seamless fusion of heritage and cutting-edge technology. 

Described as “a masterpiece of modern engineering and timeless craftsmanship”, the Spectre represents a bold new era for Rolls-Royce — and, as some judges claimed, could be the finest EV ever made. 

Sydney’s Signature Automotive Event 

As the motoring world moves toward an electrified future, the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance continues to strike a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.  

With over 70 of the world’s most extraordinary vehicles, from pre-war classics to the latest in sustainable luxury, the 2025 event reaffirmed its place as a global leader in celebrating automotive excellence.
