World’s rarest and most beautiful cars showcased at Oberoi Concourse: Details

Some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful cars came together in Udaipur as the second edition of the Oberoi Concours d’Elegance concluded at the Oberoi Udaivilas. A major highlight this year was the launch of the Oberoi Tour d’Elegance, a scenic drive along the Fateh Sagar Lake. Instead of standing still on the lawn, several classic machines were seen running against the backdrop of Udaipur’s lakes and palaces. The campaign reinforced the idea that these cars are not just museum pieces but living examples of engineering.Curated classes ranged from Indian Heritage Motor Racing and Indian coachbuilt cars to the Maharajas’ cars (Jodhpurs and pre-war classics) to Rolls-Royces. A special Phantom retrospective traces a century of excellence of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
