10th edition of InterClassics Brussels pays tribute to V12

The tenth edition of InterClassics Brussels will be held from Friday, 14 through Sunday, 16 November 2025 in Halls 5, 6, and 9 as well as the Patio of the Brussels Expo. The V12 engine will be in the spotlights during this festive anniversary edition. For connoisseurs, the twelve-cylinder is considered the pinnacle of engines. However, environmental and emissions restrictions seem to indicate this engine configuration has entered the final sprint. In InterClassics’ view, it’s high time to honour the V12. In the decade since its inception, the fair has become Belgium’s largest indoor event for enthusiasts of vintage cars, youngtimers and supercars. Importers of luxury brands as well as dealers of collectible cars will be present on the 40,000-square-metre show floor. The organisation expects around 800 exclusive cars in total, many of which will change hands thanks to lively sales transactions during the event. Ticket sales begin on 1 June.

After setting a historic visitor record of more than 40,000 visitors at the 30th edition of InterClassics Maastricht, it’s now InterClassics Brussels’ turn. The popular sales exhibition at Brussels Expo is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2025 with a special theme: V12 Supercars. Over the years, many car manufacturers have come to prefer the V12 as the ultimate option within the model range. These days, it seems the final sprint for the twelve-cylinder has begun. The organisation views this as the ideal moment to honour this crown jewel of automotive engineering. Through an unforgettable collection of pre-wars, vintage and contemporary hypercars, InterClassics tells the story of the pinnacle of engines.

Exhibition manager Erik Panis says:
‘It gives us great pride to celebrate the tenth edition of InterClassics Brussels with our visitors and fans and that’s why we’re turbo-charging this anniversary with a theme that appeals to people of all ages. In an exposition showcasing exclusively V12 supercars, we’ll tell the story of this iconic engine. As an expression of our gratitude to the city and our visitors, we’re portraying the three V12 models – from pre-war to ultra-modern – in the middle of the Brussels market.’

From pre-war race car to 90s hypercar
The organisation can already reveal three of the cars that will figure in the V12 exposition. To start, the oldest of the three poster cars: a 1939 Lagonda V12 Le Mans Works Team Car. This British race car scored a category win at Le Mans in 1939, due in no small part to the V12 engine. The middle car on the poster is a Lamborghini Miura, which, according to automotive experts, is the world’s first true supercar besides featuring a transverse-mounted V12. Depending on the model and condition, its current estimated value is around two million Euros. Also created by the designer Marcello Gandini is the 1991 Bugatti EB110. Originally a French brand, the company hadn’t mass-produced any cars since 1933 at the time the Italian Romano Artioli purchased the rights. He fitted the car with a 3.5-litre, quad-turbocharged V12, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world at the time. InterClassics will offer guided tours on all show days for visitors interested in hearing more about the stories behind the cars.
