Cars and Coffee Brescia 2016, a unique edition and the most important ever planned in Italy can be now placed amongst the European top events. Following the big success of last year’s edition, it was not easy to exceed expectations, but the operation may be regarded as highly successful, with amazing record numbers.
Participants, coming from 14 different countries including the USA and Hanoi City, represented most of Europe drivers and 32 luxury brands among the most admired worldwide. The quantity and the diversity of cars displayed were so high that this Cars and Coffee edition may be considered as the best multi-brand event ever planned in Italy and one of the most appreciated in the world by the audience.
Guests could admire more than 270 cars displayed, colorful liveries and powerful race-ready V10-V12 engines. During this event, they were also able to vote the “best of the show” awarding one of the 2 rare Maserati MC12 joining this edition and among the only 50 samples produced in the world. But this time Cars and Coffee raised the bar creating a wonderful Ferrari’s big Five Line-up with the 288 GTO, F40 LM, F50, Enzo and LaFerrari which may be considered as iconic symbols of last ten years’ motor world.
Under a weeping willow participants could admire 4 Pagani Zonda, 2 of 4 driven by Horacio Pagani’s children. On the lawn reserved for Porsche brand, an elegant Porsche 911 GT3 was exhibited together with all the different Porsche GT3 versions created so far, displayed as a wonderful rainbow-shaped line-up. Several rare one-off cars were also present: among them the Mazzanti Evantra highlighted, which is the car produced by a clever Tuscan entrepreneur.
Cars were elegantly displayed inside the Parco Giardino Sigurtà in Valeggio sul Mincio, awarded as one of the most beautiful European park in 2015. More than 25.000 people, holding cameras and smartphones in their hands, were waiting the convoy to encourage drivers to turn on their powerful engines and take photos or videos in order to evoke that unforgettable day.
