The first highlights of the 2026 edition include the debut of *Icons of Speed*, a major new thematic exhibition dedicated to the world of endurance racing. The exhibition will take visitors on a journey through more than half a century of endurance racing history—a discipline that has played a pivotal role in the technical and sporting evolution of the automobile. From the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans to great international classics like the Nürburgring, Monza, and Daytona, and on to the modern FIA World Endurance Championship, the exhibition will showcase the role of endurance racing as a laboratory for innovation, where reliability, performance, and technological research have defined new frontiers in design. At the heart of the exhibition will be the cars that transformed endurance racing into a true motorsport legend:

An increasingly international market. The market remains the heart of the event. For years, Auto e Moto d'Epoca has participated in major European industry events to promote the Bologna show and build relationships with international dealers and professionals. This strategy continues to yield tangible results: the number of foreign exhibitors is growing year by year, confirming Bologna as the key hub for the European market for historic cars and motorcycles. New for the 2026 edition is the debut of the prestigious Aaldering Gallery, while major international players such as Metropole and OldtimerFarm have already confirmed their attendance, reflecting the European market's growing interest in the event. The internationalization drive is further strengthened by a partnership with InterClassics Brussels; this will bring a dedicated space for the Belgian event's exhibitors to Bologna and allow Italian professionals to take center stage in Brussels within a dedicated exhibition area. Heritage, car manufacturers, and automotive culture. In 2026, the show will once again host key players from the heritage sector. Confirmed car manufacturers include Stellantis (with the Alfa Romeo brand), while returning features include the Motor Valley Pavilion—showcasing Emilia-Romagna’s automotive excellence—the ACI institutional area, and the ASI Village, a focal point for federated clubs, historic vehicle registers, and the preservation of Italy's automotive heritage. New developments for the two-wheeler sector.
