Concorso d’Eleganza Kyoto 2016
The “Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este” in Italy and the “Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance” in the United States are
celebrated as the world's top competitions for automotive elegance.
Carrying forward the prestige, spirit, and ambiance of these two events,
we established Asia’s flagship concours d'elegance at Nijo-jo Castle, an iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site.
