[25-May-2011] The jury awarded the Trofeo BMW Group, and with it "best of show" honours, to a 1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, while the time-honoured Coppa d'Oro prize decided by public referendum went to an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS from 1942. The "Concept Cars and Prototypes" category, meanwhile, was topped by the Aston Martin Zagato celebrating its world premiere at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Another model making its debut at the event was the BMW 328 Hommage, unveiled by the Bavarian company to mark the 75th birthday of its BMW 328 sports car from the 1930s. The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este brought together a selection of classic models and new concept cars to the acclaim of the assembled audience. And for the first time the cars were joined by motorcycles competing for class and overall victory in a competition of their own, as fans of two-wheeled classics headed to the Villa Erba for Saturday's motorcycle concours.
