Concours derives from the French term Concours d’Elegance, which translates as “a competition of elegance.” Concours’ date back to the 17th century French aristocracy who showcased their fanciful carriages in full-blown parades; but over time, as transportation evolved, so did Concours. The simple gathering of carriages would change into a competition between automobile owners judged on appearance of their cars.

Today, Concours is best described as a car show where owners compete based on overall condition or preservation of their vehicle.

Within CVR we take a more laid-back approach, with each Concours structured as a People’s Choice event. All types of Porsches are welcomed at the CVR Concours!
