Meet Saleen, Celebrate 40 Years of Concorso Italiano,

S7 2021 Hypercar Display at the Peterson Museum

We’re proud to welcome Saleen as a Presenting Sponsor of Concorso Italiano 2025. Known worldwide for engineering excellence, dramatic styling, and raw performance, Saleen has spent more than four decades redefining what American automotive innovation looks like. Under the direction of racer-turned-builder Steve Saleen, the company has consistently delivered vehicles that turn heads and push boundaries—and none more so than the legendary Saleen S7.

While Saleen is not an Italian marque, they have participated in Concorso Italiano for many years. Our audience has always appreciated exceptional automobiles—cars that deliver stunning design, captivating presence, and extraordinary power. The Saleen S7 fits seamlessly into that tradition. Its carbon-fiber bodywork, butterfly doors, and mid-mounted 7.0-liter V8 engine earned it a global reputation as one of the most compelling supercars ever produced.

This year, Saleen has chosen Concorso Italiano as the stage for the official 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Saleen S7. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to view several examples of the S7, meet Steve Saleen himself, and learn more about the car’s remarkable design and development. The display will serve as a highlight within our world-renowned show field—one that represents the convergence of innovation and beauty.

In addition to their presence at Concorso, Saleen is also sponsoring The Paddock, our multi-marque sister event held on Friday, August 15, from 3 PM to 8 PM at the same Bayonet Black Horse location. While The Paddock showcases an eclectic mix of enthusiast cars and brands, Concorso Italiano remains the definitive celebration of Italian automotive excellence.

Celebrating 40 Years of Passion, Design, and Community

This year marks 40 incredible years of Concorso Italiano. For four decades, our event has been a destination for collectors, enthusiasts, designers, and fans of Italian motoring and lifestyle. More than just a car show, Concorso is a reunion of old friends, a stage for new ideas, and a vibrant celebration of craftsmanship, performance, and culture.

From the earliest Ferrari and Lamborghini models to the most modern Alfa Romeos, and Fiats, Concorso has always brought together the most breathtaking examples of Italian design. If you’ve ever dreamed of showing your car, this is the year to do it. If you’ve walked the fairways with friends and family in the past, we invite you to return and celebrate this milestone with us. If you’ve never experienced Concorso before, there has never been a better time to attend.

We are also accepting a limited number of non-Italian cars in our curated special display area. If your car represents outstanding style, racing history, or coachbuilt craftsmanship, we encourage you to apply. Each entry is reviewed to ensure it fits within the spirit and atmosphere of Concorso Italiano.
