London Concours 2024 Celebrates V12 Engines
Iconic Event Runs From June 4-6, 2024
The London Concours, an exclusive event, is gearing up to host a spectacular celebration of the iconic V12 engine this June.
From June 4-6, 2024, a select group of car enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to witness the finest examples of V12-powered vehicles at the Honourable Artillery Company near Old Street.
This year’s event, the eighth annual London Concours, promises to showcase the history and glory of the V12 engine, which has powered some of the most legendary and rare cars ever to grace the roads.
Attendees can expect to see a remarkable lineup of vehicles, including the priceless, one-off Jaguar XJ13 prototype.
Designed by lead Jaguar engineer William Heynes in the mid-1960s, the XJ13 was intended to compete against Ferrari at Le Mans but never had the chance to race. Despite its fate, the XJ13 remains a mesmerising symbol of Jaguar’s engineering prowess.
Among the show’s other stars is the legendary Rolls-Royce ‘the Beast’, featuring a monstrous 27-litre V12 Merlin engine. This thunderous machine, dubbed the ‘Super Rolls’ by the BBC, is a testament to British engineering ingenuity and is one of the most powerful cars ever built in automotive history.
Adding to the excitement is the presence of the Lamborghini Diablo, a symbol of ’90s excess with its futuristic design and potent V12 engine.
British V12 Supercars
Attendees will also have the chance to admire British V12 supercars, such as the Ian Callum-designed Vanquish and its younger sibling, the V12 Vantage.
Andrew Evans, Managing Director of London Concours, expressed his excitement for this year’s event: “We’re delighted to announce this class celebrating perhaps the most evocative automotive ingredient: the V12 engine.”
He promises that this year’s show will offer attendees a unique and unforgettable experience filled with stunning cars, engaging discussions, and luxurious hospitality.
Beyond the automotive showcase, guests can indulge in various food and drink options, live stage discussions, and luxury brand showcases. With tickets now on sale, London Concours 2024 is shaping up to be an unmissable event for car enthusiasts and luxury connoisseurs.
