At the height of the global concours calendar, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic has always been where Ferrari’s past, present, and future converge in the most glamorous way possible. In 2026, that convergence becomes even more powerful: The world’s premier event dedicated to Ferrari cars returns February 13-15 for its 35th anniversary, delivering not only the most important gathering of Maranello machinery anywhere in America, but also two of the most anticipated unveilings of the year: the exclusive North American premiere of the 849 Testarossa and the debut of a brand-new Ferrari One-Off.
Set against the refined coastal elegance of South Florida, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2026 represents a major evolution for the event. For the first time in its history, the celebration will be hosted at The Boca Raton, one of America’s most iconic luxury resorts and private clubs, creating a new stage worthy of Ferrari’s modern masterpieces and its legendary heritage alike.
Celebrating 35 Years of Cavallino Classic Excellence
Founded as a tribute to the artistry, performance, and legacy of Ferrari, the Cavallino Classic has grown into the most prestigious Ferrari concours in the world. For its 35th anniversary, the 2026 edition introduces several major new elements designed to elevate the experience for collectors, enthusiasts, and VIP guests alike.
The event retains its proven format, beginning with Friday’s Tour d’Elegance and Party Under the Stars, followed by Saturday’s Concorso d’Eleganza, the emotional and visual centerpiece of the weekend. The celebration continues with Cavallino Night, before concluding with Classic & Sports Sunday, traditionally held at the Mar-a-Lago Club.
Another significant addition is the Cavallino Auction by RM Sotheby’s, marking the first time the world-renowned auction house will conduct an official sale as part of the Cavallino Classic. RM Sotheby’s will present “an exceptional selection of Ferrari models,” underscoring the caliber of collections that define this elite gathering.
A North American Premiere: The 849 Testarossa
The most anticipated moment of the 2026 Palm Beach Cavallino Classic will take place on Friday evening during the Party Under the Stars at The Boca Raton, when Ferrari unveils the 849 Testarossa in its exclusive North American premiere.
The latest Ferrari, the 849 Testarossa represents a new chapter for the marque, and its introduction at Cavallino Classic reinforces the event’s standing as Ferrari’s most important stage in North America. Surrounded by collectors, VIPs, and the brand’s most dedicated patrons, the unveiling is designed to be as dramatic and glamorous as the car itself.
Alongside the Testarossa, Ferrari’s full contemporary lineup will be on display. The showcase will include the Ferrari Amalfi, and the Ferrari Purosangue, the first ever four-door, four-seater that encapsulates the pure spirit of the brand.
A Ferrari One-Off Takes the Spotlight
Adding to the exclusivity of the weekend, a brand-new Ferrari one-off will make its public debut at Casa Ferrari during the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic. One-off Ferraris are among the rarest automobiles in existence, commissioned by elite clients and tailored through Ferrari’s bespoke personalization programs. Their appearance is exceptionally rare, making this unveiling one of the most closely-watched moments of the 2026 event.
The one-off will further anchor Casa Ferrari as the epicenter of modern Maranello design during the Cavallino Classic weekend, turning The Boca Raton into a temporary home for Ferrari’s most exclusive creations.
Honoring Ferrari’s Heritage and Craftsmanship
In addition to the modern supercars, a dedicated area will be devoted to Ferrari Classiche and The Ferrari Foundation, highlighting the craftsmanship, preservation, and educational initiatives that support the brand’s legacy. Among the featured cars will be the Tailor Made 812 Competizione and the SP3 ‘599+1’, which was “previously auctioned to benefit the brand’s educational initiatives.”
These displays reinforce the Cavallino Classic’s unique ability to unite Ferrari’s past and future in one refined, collector-focused environment.
America’s Premier Ferrari Gathering
For three and a half decades, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic has stood apart from every other North American automotive event. It is not simply a concours, but a luxury experience that blends rare Ferraris, world-class hospitality, and an international community of collectors.
With the U.S. premiere of the 849 Testarossa and the unveiling of a brand-new Ferrari one-off, the 35th anniversary edition promises to be one of the most significant and luxurious moments in the event’s storied history – a fitting tribute to Ferrari’s enduring power to captivate the world.
