EURO Auto Festival at Hotel Hartness

Each year our show field features hundreds of cars and motorcycles across the spectrum of European cars, from 1960s Saabs and Minis, to vintage Jaguars and Porsches, to the latest Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

For 2026, our featured marque is the Euro tuner car. Since the dawn of the auto industry, we’ve been trying to make cars faster, handle better and stop shorter. In Europe, “tuning” was about approximating the look and performance of road racers. In 1946 two early post-war tuning shops were founded: Germany’s Oettinger focused on VW Beetles and France’s Gordini on  Renaults. Both are still around today, and EURO Auto Festival is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the oldest post war European tuners.

European tuner houses push the envelope of performance and aesthetics so hard and successfully that the marques of their focus frequently hired them, partnered with them, and even acquired them. Examples include Abarth (Fiat), AMG (Mercedes) and Alpina (BMW).

The humble beginning of working with Minis, Fiat 500s, Beetles and 2002s evolved to creating record-setting supercars. Today, every European marque has at least one dedicated aftermarket tuner, and some, like Porsche, have dozens.

Join us at Euro 2026 and see these storied Euro tuner cars, as well as classic European cars from the past 70-80 years.
