The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas: A New Titan in the Supercar Arena For years, the automotive world has debated the hierarchy of high-end car gatherings. The traditional question always revolves around the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. When attending the annual Monterey Car Week—a veritable orgy of wealth, automotive history, and horsepower that culminates on the hallowed grounds of Pebble Beach—the perennial question arises: Is this still the pinnacle? In the landscape of global events, where does the Goodwood Festival of Speed fit in? What about the Goodwood Revival, Amelia Island, Moda Miami, or Retromobile? And then, of course, there is Audrain. For the discerning enthusiasts and collectors, the question persists: Is Pebble still the undisputed king? While the historic reputation of the Pebble Beach Concours remains unmatched, the landscape is shifting. The heir apparent, The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, has long been the sophisticated appetizer to Pebble’s main course. Yet, for a growing contingent within the car community, The Quail may have already eclipsed the Sunday event at Pebble. This shift is driven by a palpable interest in contemporary supercars and hypercars. I have lost count of the number of friends who make the rigorous pilgrimage to Car Week only to depart Sunday morning, uninterested in “a bunch of old cars.” Furthermore, the closure of the Geneva International Auto Show left a significant void in the supercar calendar, a vacuum that The Quail has admirably filled. The Lamborghini Aventador, for instance, made its debut at Geneva in 2011, followed by the ultra-exclusive Veneno in 2013. The Aventador’s successor, the Revuelto, debuted via an online unveiling, but the Temerario (the Huracán’s replacement) was first presented to the world at The Quail in 2024. Similarly, the seven-figure Fenomeno debuted at the 2025 Quail. Bugatti unveiled the Chiron in Geneva in 2016, yet the Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both first seen at The Quail. This pattern extends to numerous other vehicles, solidifying The Quail’s position as the premier venue for these cutting-edge machines. Until recently, I believed The Quail’s supremacy was secure. However, my attendance at the 2025 Las Vegas Concours (formally known as Concours at Wynn Las Vegas) has forced me to reconsider. I attended the 2024 Vegas Concours, and while I enjoyed it, it felt decidedly regional, even provincial. There were some interesting cars, but they were largely the usual suspects. Had it not been for a project I was working on with Czinger—which extended an invitation—I probably would not have attended this year. But I am profoundly glad I did. What Exactly is the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas? The 2025 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas featured a stunning 48 Bugatti Veyrons on display. That is not a typo. Out of the 450 Veyrons ever produced, and the 100 sold in North America, an astonishing 48 were present in Vegas. Well, 49, to be precise. Bugatti also showcased a magnificent white Vitesse Super Sport to commemorate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary. They also brought a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the upcoming 18-cylinder hybrid Tourbillon, the Chiron’s successor. To assemble over 10 percent of all Bugatti Veyrons ever built in one location is still difficult to wrap my head around. The younger generation of collectors also favors Paganis, and the Vegas Concours delivered handsomely in this regard. While I didn’t get an exact headcount (I was too busy marveling at the Veyrons), there were well over 40 Paganis in attendance. These included several Zondas, notably a Zonda Revolution (one of only five), dozens of Huayras, a plethora of Utopias, and—a concerning sign for The Quail—the North American debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster. Pagani plans to build just 10 of these at $7 million each before taxes and tariffs, should you be interested. (The mint green one displayed under a cover belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these flamboyant carbon-titanium machines are not your preference, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours was the largest gathering of Paganis ever in North America, coupled with the decision by Horacio Pagani himself to introduce a car there (he was honored on stage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to car design), speaks volumes. But more on that later. Turning back to the Paganis: over 40 vehicles represent a higher output than the factory produces in an entire year. For Lamborghini aficionados, the spectacle was equally breathtaking. The 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours boasted the largest gathering of Lamborghinis in history. Again, I did not count, but the prevailing estimate was approximately 230 cars, out of the 600 vehicles present on that Saturday. It was simply mind-blowing. Among those 230, there was a Veneno Coupe (one of only three publicly sold; the factory retained a fourth), a Sesto Elemento (one of 10), a Centenario Coupe (one of 20) and Convertible (one of 20), and a Reventón (one of 21). The last time I saw all those limited-production models—as Lamborghini now refers to them—together in the same place was at the factory museum. It was a staggering display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composites. To avoid being overly verbose, I will omit discussions of the Koenigseggs, the Gumpert Apollo, the Czingers, the Nilu, the debut of the McLaren Project Endurance race car, all the actual judged cars (including a former and insane Pebble Beach Concours-winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that won best prewar car there), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Honestly, that list alone describes one hell of a car show. What Could Possibly Come Next? Two recurring themes dominated the conversations at the Wynn Vegas Concours. The primary question was: “How are they going to top this next year?” I have no clue, but I wish the Wynn the best of luck. The second, and frankly far more intriguing question, came from the OEMs: “Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?” That is a very valid question. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are now enough? Moreover, attendees won’t face heart-attack-inducing hotel prices (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 a night, a five-night minimum), nor endure soul-crushing traffic while rushing between events. Making dinner reservations is also simple, as Las Vegas is literally built to accommodate large gatherings. While this might seem far-fetched, Geneva was the epicenter of the supercar world just a few years ago. I cannot predict the future, but I can assure you that the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas is now firmly on my must-attend list. You should place it on yours as well.
