From February 4 to 5, 2025, the Grand Palais and Bonhams|Cars are stepping up a gear with a free exhibition of exceptional cars prior to their auction. Under the building's legendary glass roof, two legendary Ferraris and a selection of other automotive gems will be on display for enthusiasts and the curious alike!

Fasten your seatbelts - In parallel with the Rétromobile Show, the Grand Palais goes into grand prix mode with a free exhibition of exceptional cars from February 4 to 5, 2025, prior to the Bonhams|Cars auction. A veritable automotive podium, where legendary classics and razor-sharp supercars vie for pole position under the emblematic Parisian glass roof.

In the spotlight, two mythical Ferraris that thrill both the pavement and history. First, the Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta Touring of 1950, pioneer of the Scuderia's first successes and considered the "godfather" of the brand's sports cars. A racing machine as racy as it was elegant, it paved the way for the luxury market. Alongside it, the 1955 Ferrari 555 Supersqualo, a thoroughbred cut out for competition, which made Ferrari's mechanics roar and refined its engineering on the racetrack.

These two jewels, straight from an ultra-exclusive private collection, won't be alone on the starting line. A further 96 cars and 39 motorcycles, also to go on sale on February 6, 2025, will complete this exceptional line-up. Among them is a 1925 Bugatti T35 GP de Lyon, patiently pampered since 1965.
