There are vehicles that are more than mere novelties at their premiere - they are born classics. No coincidence, no hype, but a rare synthesis of bold design, technical sophistication and emotional appeal. Their appearance is stylish, their sound an acoustic promise, their charisma timeless.
Icons of their time: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG & BMW Z8
Such cars are characterised by clear yet expressive lines. They have a presence that impresses both on boulevards and racetracks. Under the long bonnet pulsates an engine that not only delivers power, but also passion. They offer impressive driving values, but remain controllable at all times - perfect for the grand gesture as well as the sporty challenge on winding country roads.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (model year 2010-2014) with its legendary gullwing doors and the BMW Z8 (model year 2000-2003) undoubtedly fall into this category - both are symbols of automotive excellence. They epitomise elegance, power and driving pleasure in their purest form - and have long been regarded as modern classics with collector status.

Meeting place for enthusiasts - on and off the track
The Nürburgring Classic 2025 will bring together an exceptional selection of both models. It is rare to see SLS and Z8 in such a concentration - and certainly not in this setting. Organised in clubs and driver groups, the owners use the event as a stylish meeting point and destination for a joint drive through the picturesque Eifel.
The Nürburgring Classic is not just a tribute to historic racing cars - it is also a stage for modern classics that have long since found their place in the automotive Olympus thanks to their design and character.
