The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas: A New Supercar Powerhouse Emerges The standard definition of a “concours d’elegance\” is \”a show or contest of vehicles and accessories in which the entries are judged chiefly on excellence of appearance and turnout.\” Spend enough time in the world of exclusive automobiles, and you’ll inevitably be asked if one event surpasses the famed Pebble Beach Concours. For many, this inquiry refers to the comprehensive Monterey Car Week, a high-profile series of events culminating on Sunday with the world’s premier concours. However, the dialogue extends beyond this: Is the Goodwood Festival of Speed or the Goodwood Revival more prestigious? How does Amelia Island compare, or perhaps the newer Moda Miami, Retromobile, or Audrain events? Indeed, wherever the affluent and fashionable congregate to admire pristine and rare automobiles, the question of Pebble Beach’s dominance inevitably arises. While Pebble Beach remains the king of the concours, its immediate heir, The Quail, might just face a new and formidable rival for the throne. Why The Quail? Historically, The Quail, officially known as The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, has served as an exclusive appetizer to the main event of Sunday’s Pebble Concours. In fact, for a distinct and growing segment of the automotive community, The Quail has long eclipsed the Sunday Pebble proceedings. This demographic gravitates towards late-model and brand-new supercars and hypercars. I’ve lost count of the car enthusiasts who endure the arduous journey to Car Week only to depart Sunday morning, uninterested in antique machinery. Furthermore, the demise of the Geneva International Auto Show left a significant void in the supercar calendar, a void that The Quail has filled admirably. Consider these examples: The Lamborghini Aventador debuted at Geneva in 2011, followed by the ultra-exclusive Veneno in 2013. The Aventador’s successor, the Revuelto, was officially unveiled online, but the Temerario (the Huracán’s replacement) made its global debut at The Quail in 2024. The same applies to the seven-figure Fenomeno, which premiered at the 2025 Quail. Bugatti introduced the Chiron at Geneva in 2016, yet the Bugatti Divo (2018) and Mistral (2022) were both first presented to the world at The Quail. Similar stories exist for dozens of other vehicles. In essence, The Quail has become the world’s foremost showcase for these extraordinary machines. Until this past Halloween, I considered The Quail’s standing in the global automotive landscape unshakeable. Then I attended the 2025 Las Vegas Concours (officially titled Concours at Wynn Las Vegas), and now I am not so sure. I should mention that I also attended the 2024 Vegas Concours; while enjoyable, it felt more like a regional or even provincial affair. There were some compelling automobiles, but they were the usual suspects. In fact, if not for a project I was collaborating on with Czinger (who invited me as their guest), I likely wouldn’t have attended this year. But I am genuinely glad I went. What Defines This Event? The Wynn hosted 48 Bugatti Veyrons this year. That’s correct. Out of the 450 total Veyrons ever built, and the 100 sold in North America, 48 were present in Vegas. Well, 49, as Bugatti also brought a stunning white Vitesse Super Sport to celebrate the Veyron’s 20th anniversary—alongside a Bolide, Centodieci, Chiron Super Sport, Divo, Mistral, and a model of the forthcoming Tourbillon, the 18-cylinder hybrid that will succeed the Chiron. Displaying more than 10 percent of all Bugatti Veyrons ever manufactured in a single location has left me truly astounded. The younger generation also appreciates Paganis, right? Because there were over 40 of them. I didn’t get the exact count (I was too busy admiring the Veyrons), but there were several Zondas, including a Zonda Revolution (one of five), dozens of Huayras, a selection of Utopias, and—worryingly for The Quail—the debut of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, which Pagani plans to produce in a limited run of 10 at a price of $7 million each before taxes and tariffs, should you be interested. (The exquisite green model displayed under wraps belongs to Apple’s Tim Cook.) Even if these bold and high-performance creations are not your preference, the fact that the 2025 Las Vegas Concours was not only the largest gathering of Paganis to ever occur in North America, but also that Horatio Pagani (honored onstage by host Justin Bell for his contributions to automotive design) and his team chose this venue to introduce a new vehicle, speaks volumes. More on that shortly. To return to the topic of more than 40 Paganis: This number surpasses the annual production volume of the entire factory. The Lamborghini display was equally breathtaking if you’re interested in these types of vehicles. First off, the 2025 Wynn Vegas Concours represented the largest gathering of Lamborghinis in history. Yes, ever. Again, I did not count, but the figure being discussed was around 230. That’s 230 of the 600 cars present that Saturday. Simply mind-blowing. Of those 230, there was a Veneno Coupe (one of only three ever sold to the public; the factory retains a fourth one), 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 witnessed all these “limited-edition” models (as Lamborghini now refers to them) together in one place was at the factory’s museum. It was an extraordinary showcase of precious, high-horsepower Italian metal and composite materials. To keep this account concise, I am omitting the Koenigseggs, the Gumpert Apollo, the Czingers, the Nilu, the McLaren Project Endurance race car debut, all the cars that were actually judged (including a former, insane Pebble Beach Concours-winning 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer 26/120/180 that also won best of show for prewar vehicles), the HWA EVO, a Mercedes-AMG One, two Oldsmobile Aerotechs, and a McLaren F1. Yes, that’s one heck of a car show. What Could Possibly Come Next? Two conversations dominated my interactions with fellow Wynn Vegas Concours attendees. The first major question: “How on earth are they going to top this next year?” No idea, but godspeed to the Wynn. The other, and frankly far more intriguing, query came from the OEM carmakers: “Should we even bother attending The Quail next year?” A valid question. Perhaps I should say godspeed to The Quail as well. Here are some facts you might not know about The Quail: A single ticket cost $1,300 last year. That’s $1,300 as a courtesy if you’ve attended in the past (“legacy ticket holders,” I believe they call them). It cost $1,600 for first-time attendees. Yes, it’s expensive, but it costs OEMs about $400,000 to display a car on a stand there. For six hours. The Vegas Concours charges about 1/20th of that amount. And if you want to attend, tickets are $100 each. That’s roughly $2 per Veyron. I spoke with three different car manufacturers who openly questioned the need to ever attend The Quail again. Perhaps, they mused, Las Vegas and Moda Miami are sufficient? Furthermore, attendees won’t be paying heart-stopping prices for hotels (a friend stayed at a motel near Pebble that was $1,100 a night, with a five-night minimum), nor battling soul-crushing traffic between events. Plus, securing dinner reservations is easy because Las Vegas is literally designed to handle large gatherings. While this might sound unbelievable, just a few years ago, Geneva was the epicenter of the supercar world. I cannot predict the future, but I can assure you that the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas is now on my must-attend list. You should add it to yours, too.
