Concours d'Excellence Who will be king of the classics? 🎥
WHERE YOU MEET On September 8 and 9, the classic car competition ACS Concours d'Excellence will take place in Lucerne. On this occasion, the award "75 years of Volkswagen in Switzerland" will be presented for a classic VW.
The first Lucerne beauty contest for automobiles took place in 1928 and was held until 1955. The highlight of the events was always the presentation of the cars on the Nationalquai in Lucerne. The Concours d'Excellence International was revived in 2016 by Urs P. Ramseier and Bernd E. Link revived. The competition was then still held at the Nationalquai in Lucerne in 2017 and 2018 before being moved to the Museum of Transport.
In 2022, the longstanding tradition of the event was successfully continued after a two-year forced break. With a new, driving format, the organizers broke new ground and thus ensured positive feedback. That is why the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne is continuing to expand this high-profile event.
VW with attractive competition
In addition to the categories and prizes already announced last year, this year the award "75 Years of Volkswagen in Switzerland" will be given for a classic VW. Therefore, the OC of the ACS Concurs d'Excellence grants all participants with a VW a one-time discount of 75 Swiss francs on the entry fee. The main prize is a visit for two to the Autowelt in Wolfsburg, including flight, hotel and admission to the VW Museum.
