The 2023 edition of The I.C.E. St. Moritz ended with great success. The most anticipated and exclusive competition in the Engadine brought a parterre of dream cars to the frozen surface of the lake.
The spectacular two-day exhibition in a breathtaking atmosphere saw a record with 15’000 participants including drivers, collectors, enthusiasts, public and media from all over the world.
A glamorous auditorium presented 48 stars of the best classic and racing cars that have made automotive history and can hardly be seen in similar settings.Over the course of the two days, the jury of experts and prominent personalities were called upon to judge the cars’ history, originality, authenticity and condition, interacting with individual collectors and also evaluating their driving dynamics during the sessions.
The level of these stars did not make the jury’s job easy, and they finally decreed the winners in each individual category:
Open Wheels – 1958 Maserati 420 M/58 “Eldorado”
Barchettas on the lake – 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II
Le Mans 100 – 1958 Ferrari 250 Testarossa LucyBelle
Concept Cars and One-offs– 1970 Lancia Strato’s HF Zero
Queen in Wheels – 1958 Bentley S1 Continental Drophead Coupé
The St. Moritz Concours d’Elegance’s “Best in Show” award, on the other hand, went to the beautiful Lancia Strato’s HF Zero, a futuristic body designed by Marcello Gandini.
“We are very satisfied with this 2023 edition that confirms the choice of the new format designed over two days. 48 hours of emotions where the stage of the St. Moritz Lake welcomed enthusiasts who came from all over the world. We would very much like to thank the Sponsors, Partners, Exhibitors and participating collectors who believed in this event and renewed their trust in us” – says Marco Makaus, creator and Patron of The I.C.E.
