The Gulf Concours introduces a new format of Concours d’ elegance, designed specifically for Dubai, by not only showcasing the world’s 111rarest classic cars, but also by judging the very best ‘modern bespoke’ cars in the region. The aim is to build a world renowned Concours d’ elegance in time for Dubai 2020 that attracts the very finest collectors and connoisseurs in the region.

The event, which celebrates automotive excellence with some of the world’s rarest and most valuable cars, attracted the region’s most discerning collectors and car enthusiasts from across the UAE during the first two days. Royalty attended the second day of the prestigious Gulf Concours event at the Burj Al Arab Terrace, where the 2016 Bentley GT3-R won the “best bespoke limited edition” award. The winner of the “best modern bespoke” was the 2015 LaFerrari.

Concours events differ from Motor Shows as they also celebrate very rare cars that have already been owned and cherished by discerning owners. Owners of premium brand cars in the Middle East are leading the world in specifying stunning modern bespoke cars, creating a new category of Concours-standard cars that will become the global ‘must have’ collectable cars of the future. The Gulf Concours will celebrate three important values for car owners and car buyers – excellence, heritage and originality. More than 40 of near priceless, classic cars mixed with the ultimate in modern, bespoke luxury and supercars including Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited, Mercedes, and Ferrari, were assembled in the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Terrace.

“We are delighted to invite some of the most bespoke brands to showcase the best and most iconic cars in the world,” said Rory Heron, Managing Director of Thorough Events Singapore, the event owners and organisers. “Our aim is to bring people together from across the spectrum to indulge in their automotive passion, and we have no doubt that this event will become one of the most noted Concours d’ Elegance events around the globe.”

Gargash Enterprises showcased the exceptional AMG G63, AMG S 63 Cabriolet, and the 2-door 1958 Mercedes-Benz S 220 Ponton. This range of vehicles is a living testament to the Mercedes-Benz commitment of delivering best-in-class technology and performance time and time again.

Gulf Concours is set to become one of the world’s most noted Concours d’ elegance events by attracting the wealthiest collectors and connoisseurs from within the region and the world.
