I’ve managed to get more information regarding the 2012 Concours d’Elegance that is going to be held in Kuwait next week.
– Leonardo Fioravanti the designer behind some legendary Ferrari’s including the 365 GTB 4 “Daytona”, 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer, the 308 GTB and GTS as well as the 288 GTO and the F40 will be giving a lecture at the Concours. His lecture will be on the Ferrari F40 since it’s the F40’s 25th anniversary. The F40 is the last Ferrari he designed and a car many believe to be one of the greatest super cars ever made. Obviously there will also be a Ferrari F40 on display.
– The F40’s nemesis, the Porsche 959 will also be on display at the Concours.
– The first day of the event they’ll be displaying old government vehicles like the old police cars and ambulances etc..
– The last day of the Concours on the occasion of Enzo Ferrari’s birthday, over 150 Ferrari’s will get together at Marina Crescent and then drive towards the Kuwait Towers.
– The Alfa Romeo Bat 11 will be on display.
– The first production model of the new Aston Martin Zagato will be launched worldwide at the Concours. In addition there will be an original 1960’s Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato on display right next to it.
This is basically all I have for now. For more information on this years Concours check out my previous post [Here]

There will also be the RR of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan coming all the way from Pakistan.
It holds great historic importance to all Pakistanis, and a rare opportunity for Pakistanis in Kuwait to see it in person.
The new Aston Martin is called the Zagato not Zagata lol and it’s kinda small and fugly for an Aston.
obviously it’s a spelling mistake since the next sentence it’s spelled right.
yup looks like a typo.
Definitely one of the highlight events on the yearly calendar. Not to be missed.
I’ll be there – and this time – I’ll remember my windbreaker – last year had to leave early cause of the chilly winds.
