The 2025 Concours at Wynn: A New Supercar Mecca Emerges from the Desert For years, automotive enthusiasts planning their pilgrimage to the world of high-end cars have often found themselves choosing between a handful of elite gatherings. From the time-honored tradition of Pebble Beach to the dynamic energy of Goodwood, these events have long been the gold standard for showcasing automotive history, craftsmanship, and innovation. However, in recent years, a new contender has emerged that is rapidly shifting the landscape of supercar gatherings, prompting enthusiasts and manufacturers alike to rethink where the most significant moments in automotive history now occur. This is the story of the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas and its meteoric rise from a niche event to a global spectacle. The Evolution of the Premier Automotive Gathering The term “concours d’elegance” often evokes images of pristine vintage automobiles lining manicured lawns, judged on historical accuracy and meticulous restoration. While this remains a cornerstone of the automotive world, the definition has expanded significantly. Today, the elite automotive scene is defined by a dual identity: the celebration of automotive history and the anticipation of future innovation. For a growing segment of the automotive community, the primary focus has shifted toward cutting-edge technology, breathtaking performance, and the raw thrill of modern hypercars. When attendees gather at events like Monterey Car Week, the questions are often centered on the current hierarchy of automotive spectacles. Does the speed and spectacle of the Goodwood Festival of Speed eclipse the historical gravitas of Pebble Beach? How does the refined atmosphere of the Audrain concours compare to the raw energy of Moda Miami? Or the nostalgic embrace of Retromobile? While Pebble Beach remains a titan in the realm of classic automobiles, it is increasingly apparent that its dominance in the modern supercar arena is being seriously challenged. For collectors and enthusiasts obsessed with the latest advancements in speed and engineering, the premier destination is no longer solely determined by the age of the vehicles. In fact, for a dedicated and expanding segment of the community, The Quail has become the essential appetizer to the main course that is Sunday’s Pebble Concours. This event has long been the epicenter for debuts of the latest hypercars from established manufacturers. The Vacuum Left by Geneva The shifting sands of the automotive world have been significantly influenced by the demise of the Geneva International Motor Show. For decades, Geneva was the primary venue for manufacturers to introduce their most ambitious and technologically advanced creations to the world. The Lamborghini Aventador, for example, made its debut there in 2011, followed by the hyper-exclusive Veneno in 2013. The Aventador’s successor, the Revuelto, was officially unveiled online, but more importantly, the Lamborghini Temerario—the successor to the Huracán—was first showcased to the public at The Quail in 2024. Similarly, the $7 million Lamborghini Huayra Codalunga Speedster, of which only 10 will be produced, made its global debut at The Quail in 2025. Bugatti also utilized The Quail as its premier showcase for several significant models, including the Divo (2018) and the Mistral (2022), following the Chiron’s 2016 reveal in Geneva. This trend extends to numerous other marques that have chosen The Quail to introduce their latest creations, effectively positioning it as the world’s preeminent stage for modern supercars. The Unveiling of a New Titan Until Halloween of 2025, I was confident that The Quail’s position as the leading supercar showcase was secure. However, my attendance at the 2025 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas fundamentally altered my perspective. Having attended the 2024 iteration, I initially viewed the event as largely provincial, featuring some notable but predictable inclusions. Frankly, without a project I was working on with Czinger, I might not have bothered to attend this year. Yet, I am profoundly grateful that I made the trip. An Unprecedented Spectacle The Wynn hosted an astonishing display of 48 Bugatti Veyrons this year. To put this into perspective, considering the production run of 450 Veyrons, with only 100 sold in North America, 48 specimens were assembled in Las Vegas. The count actually climbs to 49, as Bugatti also presented a magnificent white Vitesse Super Sport to commemorate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary. Alongside this impressive array were a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the upcoming 18-cylinder hybrid, the Tourbillon. However, assembling more than 10 percent of all Bugatti Veyrons ever produced in one location is a feat that continues to amaze me. The younger demographic of enthusiasts also has plenty to admire, as there were more than 40 Paganis present. While I did not get the exact count—I was too captivated by the Veyrons—the collection included several Zondas, notably a Zonda Revolution (one of only five), dozens of Huayras, numerous Utopias, and—a worrying development for The Quail—the world premiere of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster. Pagani plans to produce only 10 of these, priced at $7 million before taxes and tariffs. (The mint green prototype that was on display belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these high-performance carbon-titanium extroverts are not your preferred style, the significance of the 2025 Las Vegas Concours is undeniable. It not only hosted the largest gathering of Paganis ever assembled in North America, but Horacio Pagani himself—honored onstage by emcee Justin Bell for his contributions to car design—and his team chose this event to introduce a new vehicle. This decision speaks volumes about the growing influence of the Concours at Wynn. Back to the staggering number of Paganis, over 40 examples were present, exceeding the total number of cars produced by the factory in an entire year. A Fleet of Raging Bulls The Lamborghini section was equally breathtaking for those who appreciate these types of vehicles. First and foremost, the 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours hosted the largest gathering of Lamborghinis in history. Yes, ever. Again, I did not count, but the consensus was around 230 vehicles, representing 230 of the 600 cars on display that Saturday. It was simply mind-blowing. Among these 230 Lamborghinis were a Veneno Coupe (one of only three ever sold to the public; the factory retained a fourth), a Sesto Elemento (one of 10), a Centenario Coupe and Convertible (one of 20 each), and a Reventón (one of 21). The last time I had seen all these “few-offs,” as Lamborghini now calls them, in one place was at the factory’s museum. It was a staggering display of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composites. The Legacy of the Concours To remain concise, I have omitted mentions of the Koenigseggs, Gumpert Apollo, Czingers, Nilu, McLaren Project Endurance race car debut, and all the cars that were actually judged. This included a former and insane Pebble Beach Concours-winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that won best in show in the pre-war category. Additionally, the collection featured an HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. This remarkable lineup alone constitutes a world-class automotive event. Navigating the Future of Premier Automotive Gatherings Two topics of conversation were constantly on my mind as I mingled with fellow attendees at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. The primary question circulating was: “How on Earth are they going to top this next year?” I have no idea, but I offer my encouragement to the Wynn team. The second, and frankly more intriguing, question was raised by the OEMs: “Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?” This is a valid concern. Perhaps it is time to wish The Quail farewell as the premier supercar showcase. A Matter of Value and Accessibility If you are unaware, the cost of a single ticket to The Quail was $1,300 last year. This price was provided as a courtesy to previous attendees, known as “legacy ticket holders.” The cost for first-time attendees was $1,600. While these prices seem steep, it costs manufacturers approximately $400,000 to display a car on a stand at The Quail for just six hours. The Las Vegas Concours charges about one-twentieth of that amount. And if you want to attend, tickets are $100 each, which equates to about $2 per Veyron in the display. I spoke with three different manufacturers who openly questioned the need to attend The Quail ever again. They pondered whether Las Vegas and Moda Miami were now sufficient. Furthermore, for attendees, there are no soul-crushing hotel prices or soul-crushing traffic. For example, a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that cost $1,100 a night for a five-night minimum. Making dinner reservations is also a simple task because
