Gerard Larrousse and the 917 still win today
The Poltu Quatu Classic, one of the most glamorous Concours d’Elegance events of the summer, returned to the Emerald Coast in July 2020, after several other events were cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic. The event showcased forty vintage cars from the most important Italian and European collections. The Jury, including automotive historian Paolo Tumminelli and designers Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, awarded the "Best in Show" trophy to the Porsche 917LH, which came second at Le Mans in 1970, driven by Gerard Larrousse and Willi Kauhsen. The event also featured visits to San Pantaleo, Olbia, and the beach of Capriccioli, and the debut of a new electric boat prototype designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for a luxury market start-up.
Collectors from all over the world have suffered from the lack of Concourse d’Elegance events and couldn't wait to get their pearls out of their garages. Pretty much all 2020 events have been cancelled or postponed, but luckily for car enthusiasts the hope is not lost forever. Poltu Quatu Classic returns to the scene of major international events with the fifth edition of one of the most glamorous Concours d’Elegance of the summer.
Ferrari beats Porsche: in the special ranking that united the two famous brands, this magnificent 857S Scaglietti dominated.
On 10th, 11th and 12th July, authentic four-wheeled jewels from the most important Italian and European collections of vintage cars paraded through the streets of the Emerald Coast. The Jury of the Concorso was chaired for the third year in a row by Paolo Tumminelli, the well-known automotive historian who has created and refined in recent years an almost infallible evaluation system.
