To celebrate 100 Years of Maserati, visitors to the ASC Classic-Gala can look forward to a special tribute to one of Italy's most prestigious automotive marques. In cooperation with Maserati Germany, an exclusive special exhibition on the palace terrace will showcase carefully selected automobiles that vividly illustrate the brand's remarkable history, passion, and enduring appeal.
The story began in 1926 with the legendary Tipo 26, Maserati's very first automobile. During the late 1920s, the marque achieved international racing success with this model, laying the foundation for its legendary motorsport reputation. The exhibition also features iconic models including the 4CLT, 3500 GT, Quattroporte, Merak, Khamsin, 4200 GT, and Ghibli, documenting the evolution of Maserati across the decades. Bridging past and present is the latest Maserati GT2 Stradale, combining cutting-edge technology with Italian design excellence and pure racing DNA. Together, the exhibition offers a fascinating journey through a century of automotive elegance, innovation, and passion.

With the special exhibition "Passione Dino", the ASC Classic-Gala pays tribute to one of the most fascinating chapters in Italian automotive history. Named after Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, the late son of Enzo Ferrari, the exhibition explores the unique partnership between Ferrari and Fiat that emerged during the 1960s. While Ferrari developed the legendary V6 engines, the Ferrari Dino and Fiat Dino model ranges became two of the most desirable classics of their era.
Around the Hirschbrunnen (Deer Fountain), visitors will discover the most significant models of this extraordinary generation of automobiles. From the early Fiat Dino Coupé and Spider to the legendary Ferrari Dino 206 GT and 246 GT, the exhibition celebrates a remarkable automotive passion that perfectly combines Italian styling, innovative engineering, and motorsport heritage.

To mark the 90th anniversary of the BMW 328, the ASC Classic-Gala honours one of the most influential sports cars in automotive history. Visitors can admire an exceptional collection of carefully selected vehicles that vividly demonstrate the timeless appeal of this legendary model.
First introduced at the Nürburgring in 1936, the BMW 328 quickly established itself as one of the most successful sports cars of its time. Its lightweight construction, advanced six-cylinder engine, and outstanding driving characteristics earned numerous international racing victories and cemented BMW's sporting reputation. Today, the BMW 328 remains one of the defining milestones of automotive engineering and one of the most celebrated icons of the pre-war era.

With the special exhibition "Sunbeam Venezia", the ASC Classic-Gala presents one of the rarest chapters in European automotive history. Designed in the early 1960s by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring, the Sunbeam Venezia combined British engineering with elegant Italian styling and was produced in only very limited numbers.
A particular highlight of the exhibition will be the display of five Sunbeam Venezia models. This is expected to be one of the largest gatherings of these exceptionally rare automobiles in recent years. Visitors will gain a unique insight into the history of an elegant and exclusive Gran Turismo that today ranks among the most sought-after rarities of its generation.
