Le Mans-Winning Ferraris to Feature at Anantara Concorso Roma 2026
The first Anantara Concorso Roma is scheduled for April 16–19, 2026, in Rome, featuring 70 historic Italian cars. It will highlight Italian automotive history in conjunction with local hospitality and cuisine, hosted at prominent city landmarks.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition will be the display of three Le Mans-winning Ferrari race cars, representing different eras of endurance racing and engineering development.
Le Mans-winning Ferraris on display
1964 Ferrari 250 LM – Winner of the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 250 LM secured Ferrari’s sixth consecutive Le Mans victory. Raced by the North American Racing Team (NART), it remains one of only two privately entered Ferraris to have won the event overall.
1963 Ferrari 275P – Originally built as a 250 P, the car was entered at Le Mans in 1963 and contributed to Ferrari’s first all-Italian victory. It was later upgraded to 275P specification and went on to win Le Mans again in 1964.
Ferrari 499P – Representing Ferrari’s return to top-class endurance racing in the modern era, the 499P features a hybrid powertrain with a V6 engine. The model has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Originally scheduled for 2025 and postponed, Anantara Concorso Roma has been expanded for its 2026 edition. The showfield will extend beyond Casina Valadier to include Piazza Bucarest within the gardens of Villa Borghese, allowing visitors to view Italian cars in multiple open-air settings.
