Koenigsegg, everywhere you looked. 🇸🇪👻

At the heart of The Aurora was a dedicated Koenigsegg Class in the Concours, bringing together the most significant display of the marque ever assembled.

The original CC Prototype stood alongside the one-off CCGT for the very first time. The CC8S on the lawn was the first production Koenigsegg ever built, joined by the first production Gemera, the first customer Sadair’s Spear, Thor, Regera, Jesko and many more from across the marque’s extraordinary history.

And the Koenigsegg experience extended far beyond the Concours lawn. Throughout The Aurora, guests encountered cars from the marque across the event — including at the dedicated Koenigsegg stand — as well as the first public display of the full-scale LEGO Technic Sadair’s Spear.

With Koenigsegg as The Aurora’s Hypercar Partner, and its home and test track in Ängelholm only a short drive from Båstad, the gathering felt especially at home in this corner of Sweden.

Too many Koenigseggs to count. Impossible to forget.

Which one would you drive home?

One half of The Aurora’s dual concours format was dedicated to classic cars, with entrants from all over the world competing for Best of Show in the Classic Car Concours — a remarkable field of history, craftsmanship and seriously difficult choices.

The Aurora Luminaries Award 2026 goes to the 1953 Ford SAF Comète.

Selected by our Luminaries jury — Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar (Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar | The Art Bystander), Callum Mullins () and Araminta Reed (Mint) — this special award celebrates cars through a wider cultural lens: style, art, design, storytelling and emotional presence.

Designed by Stabilimenti Farina and handbuilt by Facel in Paris, the Comète is one of the most elegant and unexpected European GTs of the 1950s.

Based on the Ford Vedette and powered by a rare flathead V8, it was even exhibited at MoMA in 1953 as one of ten automobiles considered works of art.

After a lengthy restoration, this remarkable car captivated the Luminaries jury with its quiet elegance, rarity and distinctive artistic presence.

Congratulations to the 1953 Ford SAF Comète — winner of The Aurora Luminaries Award 2026.

The road to The Aurora began exactly as it should — behind the wheel.

The Aurora Tour 2026 brought concours entrants together for a private driving experience across southern Sweden and on the Koenigsegg test track, setting the tone for a weekend of cars, people and Scandinavian summer energy.

This year’s Tour d’Elegance Award, presented to the most beautiful addition to the Tour, went to the 1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada from an American collection.

The Performance Driving Award, presented to the fastest car on the Koenigsegg Test Track timed slalom, went to the 2026 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack “TYR” No. 7555 from a Swedish collection.

Congratulations to both winners, and thank you to everyone who made The Aurora Tour 2026 such a memorable start to the concours weekend.

The Aurora Concours 2026 Best of Show winners.

At The Aurora Concours, two Best of Show awards are presented — one for the Classic Car Concours and one for the Hypercar Concours. Two worlds, judged separately. One shared pursuit of automotive excellence.

The winners were presented with bespoke glass sculptures, created exclusively for The Aurora by our Design Partner, Bernadotte & Kylberg.

Best of Show — Classic Car Concours
1960 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB

Widely regarded as one of Ferrari’s greatest road cars, the 250 GT Berlinetta SWB combines breathtaking proportions with genuine competition pedigree.

This matching-numbers example, restored through Ferrari Classiche and previously honoured at Villa d’Este, captivated the jury with its exceptional authenticity, provenance and presentation.

Best of Show — Hypercar Concours
1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR

Built to homologate Mercedes-AMG’s FIA GT Championship challenger, the CLK GTR remains one of the most extraordinary road cars ever created. Its carbon-fibre construction, naturally aspirated V12 and uncompromising racing DNA made it a fitting recipient of the highest honour in the Hypercar Concours.

Congratulations to both owners, and to every entrant who made this year’s field so exceptional.

Our sincere thanks to Chief Judge Julius Kruta and the international Aurora Concours Jury: Tobias Reichle, Carolina Keller-Breucha, Eugenio Amos, Gianluca Pellegrini and Stephan Bauer.

Two Best of Show winners. Two concours. One celebration of the world’s finest automobiles.
