The theme chosen by ACI in Bologna is "The cars of the sweet life: a journey between Glamor and Memories", an experience that goes beyond the simple exhibition of cars: a fascinating journey into the seductive golden years of the sweet life, where every car , more than a means of transport, is a symbol of an era of change, style and dreams. Thanks to virtual reality, you will be able to immerse yourself in an emotional journey: a narrative that blends past and present, where it will be possible to experience every detail with emotion and touch the legacy of great icons on four wheels. Every detail, every line, every chrome will animate a sensorial experience that will make the heart vibrate and connect, deeply, with the history of an era that continues to make us dream. ACI Experience uses cutting-edge technologies to offer a revolutionary way to explore the history of the automobile. Thanks to Apple's Vision Pro - a device not yet available in Italy - the experience offers incredibly realistic visual quality. A perfect combination of innovation, culture and the past, where technology brings history back to life, making it more engaging than ever.
There are 3 cars included in the experience: Triumph TR3A, Giulietta Spider and convertible Cadillac. The large space of ASI Village at Auto e Moto d'Epoca 2024 will have a leitmotif that will accompany visitors on a sort of virtual tour on the roads of Italy. The title, in fact, is "Classics traveling for the pleasure of slow tourism". The Italian Federation of reference in the sector, together with its many Clubs that make up the "Village", underlines the role of historic vehicles as a pleasant tool for better experiencing the magnificent territories of our country. The recent bio-fuel testing activity is linked to this theme, which will be described in the salon with the Lancia Stratos HF used during the year in numerous tests with these alternative fuels. The ASI Village exhibition is completed by some two- and four-wheeled examples from the Morbidelli and Bertone Collections, as well as tributes for the 110th anniversary of Maserati and for the champion Arturo Merzario, who will receive the the prestigious "ASI Award for Historic Motoring 2024". Lastly, the renewed SPARE PARTS Path could not be missing: the largest European offer of vintage spare parts - from mechanics to engine electronics up to interior components.
In 2024, the route was renewed to improve the visiting experience: all car and automotive spare parts are gathered in pavilion 30, motorcycle parts in 29, while pavilion 28 is entirely dedicated to model making. The spare parts market has always been one of the beating hearts of vintage cars and motorbikes. Here, every year, selected exhibitors of car and motorcycle spare parts for both Italian and foreign models and brands arrive from all over Europe, with original and even very rare pieces. The selection of the offer is careful and guarantees the enthusiasts who acquire seriousness and competence. With over 600 spare parts dealers and a selection of the highest level, the Show confirms itself as the most important event in Europe for car, motorcycle and automotive spare parts, with a growing offer dedicated to model making.
