In addition, more than 40 Paganis were on display, the most ever in North America. The event also signified one of the largest-ever gatherings of Lamborghinis, with 230 cars that represented much of the brand's history – including one of only 13 Veneno hypercars and a 2R tractor from Lamborghini's early days. Broad Arrow's first Las Vegas auction was another weekend success, resulting in $13.7M in sales, 82% of lots sold, and a record-breaking $2.2M Bugatti Veyron sale.

This year's Concours at Wynn Las Vegas event also saw the world debut of the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster presented by Horacio Pagani, the first public debut of the McLaren Project: Endurance 24 Hours of Le Mans customer car, and one of only 30 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spears on display – accompanied by Christian and Halldora von Koenigsegg. In addition, the event signified the world debut of the Lanzante 95-59 and the North American debut of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary Private Collection, celebrating 100 years of Phantom. Sung Kang, of "Fast and the Furious" fame also debuted his latest project, "78", a 1973 Datsun 240Z built by Japanese tuning shop VeilSide. The car produces 400 naturally aspirated horsepower from its one-of-a-kind LZ6 twin-cam inline-six. Kang displayed his VeilSide Z alongside his iconic 1972 Datsun 240Z "FuguZ" build on the Concours lawn. The 2025 event also launched the modernized 100-point (M100) judging system in North America from an esteemed panel of judges.

"Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has quickly become a benchmark for modern Concours events. The mix of spectacular vehicles and unbeaten hospitality makes it a must-visit event for every car enthusiast," said Chris Kramer, Co-Chief Judge for Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. "To say that I am proud to be a small part of it is an understatement. The judging process becomes increasingly harder year to year, and I cannot wait to see what vehicles come out in 2026."

Since its inception in 2022, Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has redefined what a Concours can be – uniting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary culture and experiences that could only happen in Las Vegas. Plans are already underway for the 2026 event, which will occur from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1, 2026. For more information on this and next year's event, visit lasvegasconcours.com.
