34th Annual Palm Beach Cavallino Classic Concludes with Stunning Celebration of Ferrari Excellence

The 1954 Ferrari 375 MM #0476 AM, the 1957 Ferrari 335 S #0674 and the 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S #026 Claim Top Honors in a Spectacular Weekend of Prestige for Collectors and Enthusiasts Alike

Palm Beach, FL – The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic concluded, showcasing an extraordinary lineup of Ferraris that captivated over 2,000 dedicated collectors and enthusiastic spectators. The iconic Concorso d’Eleganza, now in its 34th edition, remains steadfast in its mission to honor and preserve the rich heritage of Ferrari.

I am privileged to continue the legacy and tradition of the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic,” said Luigi Orlandini, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Cavallino Inc. since the acquisition by Canossa in 2020. “The resounding success of this year’s gathering reaffirms its position as the world’s premier event dedicated to the legacy of the Prancing Horse. I extend my deepest gratitude to all participants, distinguished guests, and supporters, with special thanks to our invaluable Patrons, partners, and the incredible team of passionate individuals whose dedication made this event a reality.”

The weekend also included the Tour d’Eleganza rally, a scenic driving experience on the beautiful sunny islands between Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach, and the iconic Party Under the Stars at The Breakers, where the recently launched Ferrari F80 made its North American premier. The 1,200-hp Ferrari F80 supercar represents the pinnacle of automotive innovation and performance, following in the footsteps of Prancing Horse legends such as the GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari.

This event has always exemplified the spirit, artistry, and passion that define the Ferrari legacy, and I continue to be inspired by the dedication of collectors, enthusiasts, and the entire community who bring this vision to life,” said Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, recently appointed President of Cavallino, Inc. and great-grandson of the legendary Enzo Ferrari. “As a member of the Ferrari family, it is particularly meaningful for me to contribute to an event that not only celebrates the heritage of the Prancing Horse but also ensures its preservation for future generations. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the collectors whose remarkable Ferraris were recognized with awards this year, a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and authenticity.”

The 34th annual event featured dynamic sessions with experts and collectors, in addition to exhibitions in partnership with Riva Yacht, Bang & Olufsen, Schedoni Modena, RM Sotheby’s, Richard Mille and Hedley Studios.

The 2025 Queens

The 2025 Concorso showcased an unparalleled level of excellence with over 150 Ferraris for judging or on display. A distinguished panel of judges, internationally-recognized Ferrari experts hailing from both the U.S. and Europe, rigorously assessed over 100 Ferraris for authenticity, excellence, elegance, and historical significance, following the stringent standards of the IAC/PFA (International Advisory Committee for the Preservation of the Ferrari Automobile). The traditional “Best of Show” awards—including both the Granturismo and Competizione awards categories—returned this year, alongside the Classiche Certified honor which now recognizes vehicles certified by Ferrari Classiche.

Of the 104 cars registered for judging, 70 achieved an impressive score of 97 out of 100, earning a Platinum Award and qualifying the car for the coveted Best of Show accolade, further cementing the event’s reputation as the ultimate celebration of Ferrari artistry and engineering.
