The frozen lake of St. Moritz once again became one of the most dramatic backdrops in the automotive world as The I.C.E. St. Moritz returned to the Engadine Valley. Drawing more than 20,000 enthusiasts over two days, the high-altitude concours transformed snow and ice into a stage for some of the most extraordinary machines ever built, with Bugatti delivering one of the standout performances of the event.
Veyron Legends Take Center Stage
Celebrating the car that redefined the hypercar era, Bugatti brought three icons from its “Les Légendes de Bugatti” series onto the frozen lake: the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse ‘Soleil de Nuit,’ ‘Rembrandt Bugatti,’ and ‘Meo Costantini.’ Two decades after the Veyron rewrote the rulebook for speed, luxury, and engineering, these special editions reminded the crowd exactly why the model remains one of the most important supercars of the 21st century.
Set against the Alpine skyline, the trio represented the moment Bugatti didn’t just return, it reshaped automotive history.
A Tribute to Racing Heritage
Making its debut on the ice was the Bugatti Baby II ‘Meo Costantini,’ a one-off creation by Hedley Studios. The scaled tribute draws inspiration from the legendary Bugatti Type 35, one of the most successful racing cars of all time, and pays homage to the racing spirit that still defines the brand. Displayed alongside its Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse counterpart, the pairing bridged nearly a century of performance evolution.
Bolide Unleashed on Ice
If the Veyron display honored Bugatti’s renaissance, the dynamic demonstration of the Bugatti Bolide showed where that philosophy leads when taken to the extreme.
Three customer-owned Bolides ran on a specially prepared ice track, delivering a rare public glimpse of the track-only hypercar in motion. Powered by the brand’s quad-turbocharged W16 engine and engineered without compromise, the Bolide is the most radical interpretation of Bugatti performance to date. Seeing it carve across snow and ice, in conditions far removed from a conventional circuit, made for one of the most surreal highlights of the weekend.
Icons of the Past
The concours also celebrated Bugatti’s deeper heritage. Historic models including the Bugatti Type 13, Bugatti Type 35, and Bugatti Type 37A competed in the ‘Open Wheels’ class, while the groundbreaking Bugatti EB110, widely regarded as a precursor to the modern hypercar, starred in the ‘Birth of the Hypercar’ category.
More Than a Show
Away from the action, the I.C.E. Village hosted clients and collectors in an exclusive Alpine setting, reinforcing why this event has become one of the most anticipated fixtures on the global concours calendar.
For supercar fans, The I.C.E. St. Moritz isn’t just about static displays, it’s about witnessing history, heritage, and cutting-edge performance collide on one of the most unique surfaces in motorsport. And once again, Bugatti ensured it owned the ice.
