Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas

Dream Cars is a major exhibition of innovative design that brings together 17 concept cars from across Europe and the U.S.  The exhibition features some of the rarest, most imaginative cars designed by Ferrari, Bugatti, General Motors, Porsche and others.

The cars, from the early 1930s to the 21st century, pushed the limits of imagination and foreshadowed the future of design with progressive and innovative ideas.

We can’t show you all of the cars, but below are a few of our favorites:
