This year, InterClassics Brussels broke all records, like a race car on a straight track. With record attendance and breathtaking exhibitions, this event has become a must-see for car enthusiasts. The show was enhanced by the tribute to the 75th anniversary of Formula 1 and a selection of supercars that would have made even the greatest drivers envious.
A spectacular start
From the very first day, it was clear that this tenth edition would be a true fireworks display. The organization recorded its best opening ever, hinting at memorable days ahead. In an electrifying atmosphere, visitors were able to admire the V12 in all its glory. This year, the show not only showcased roaring engines but also celebrated the history of Formula 1 with a special exhibition. Imagine the thrill of seeing iconic single-seaters lined up, each carrying decades of fierce competition.
Visitors were immersed in a fascinating universe from the moment they arrived at Brussels Expo.
An impressive showcase of cars
InterClassics Brussels brought together over 800 cars and more than 300 exhibitors, creating a true open-air museum. For the first time, a technical program was introduced, allowing driving schools and students to work directly on classic cars. An initiative that warmed the hearts of car lovers and thrilled the nerves of younger generations. Cars displaying the ‘Sold’ label on the first day began to multiply, as if a buying virus had spread among the visitors.
The Ferrari that stole the show
At the opening, the InterClassics Brussels awards were presented with flair. The coveted title of ‘Best of Show’ was awarded to the stunning 1973 Ferrari 365 GTS/4, displayed at the Gipimotor stand. A true masterpiece that would have made even the most stoic hearts flutter. This car is a bit like a legendary song that resonates through the ages, each curve and detail telling a story of passion and craftsmanship.
The magnificent Ferrari 365 GTS/4, crowned ‘Best of Show’, is the very embodiment of automotive elegance.
Record attendance
With 29,472 visitors, the show set a new record. “Compared to last year, this represents almost a 29% increase,” says Erik Panis, the show director. “The public’s interest is palpable, and our exhibitors are thrilled; many transactions took place.” The celebration of the 75th anniversary of Formula 1 attracted a younger crowd, captivated by the presence of hypercars and supercars on display. It’s as if these speed machines cast a spell on young car enthusiasts, urging them to dream big and aim high.
In response to this phenomenal success, the organizers decided to create a special home for supercars at the next edition of InterClassics Maastricht, scheduled for January 15-18, 2026. Imagine the spectacle!
