120 years of Ford Performance: An ode to speed and innovation

When the doors of the MECC in Maastricht open from January 11 to 14, visitors will not only enter an exhibition hall, but a world where the timelines of automotive history and innovation converge. With the 29e edition of the Classic Car Show, InterClassics celebrates the impressive 120th anniversary of Ford Performance. More than 800 vintage cars, youngtimers and supercars are exhibited on an impressive 35.000 m². However, this is no ordinary car display; it is an in-depth retrospective that highlights Ford's influential racing pedigree.

Visitors can expect an unparalleled collection of 28 Fords representing every decade of this iconic brand. From the very first Quadricycle to the dominant forces in rally, Formula 1, and NASCAR, Ford's connection with motorsports is brought to life. With cars sourced from museums, private collections and even Ford Europe's factory collection, this is a unique opportunity to see up close some of the most influential cars in motorsport history.

The future of racing: Simulation and super cars

While the classic cars shine with their historic shine, the Sim Expo offers a glimpse into the future of racing. More than 60 high-end simulators are ready to challenge both experienced racers and newcomers to improve their skills. This expo is not only a showcase of the latest technologies but also a platform for discussions, seminars and of course, intense races.

The premiere of the Agile SCX marks an exciting moment for car enthusiasts. This Danish supercar, powered by a Ford engine, combines an ultra-light design with explosive power. Weighing just 600kg on the scales and promising 0 to 100 in 4 seconds, the Agile SCX embodies the spirit of innovation that runs through the show.

Living history and community experience

What makes the InterClassics Maastricht so special is not just the cars it exhibits, but the vibrant community it brings together. The event provides an unparalleled opportunity to network with like-minded people, share valuable insights and learn from industry experts.

The Méhari Marathon is a perfect example of the interactive experiences the fair offers. Watch as a team of specialists create a Citroën Méhari restores from start to finish, a process that emphasizes the true craft and passion behind classic cars.

An event that keeps on giving

The Sim Expo is not only a place to admire the latest gadgets, it also provides a platform for serious competition. With a prize pool of 10.000 euros and the chance to prove yourself in the hot lap challenge, this is the place where virtual racers become reality.

The Classic Car Show in Maastricht is more than an event; it is a four-day celebration of automotive culture, history and future. Whether you come for the nostalgia, the technology, or simply the love of cars, there is something for everyone.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to be part of an event that both looks back on the rich past and looks ahead to the future of motoring. Buy your tickets online for a special price and prepare yourself for a journey through time, speed and passion.
