Blending luxury hospitality with thrilling alpine drives on legendary routes such as the Furka and Oberalp Passes, the shindig gathered together a sizable collection of rare and historically significant motors.
Standout models included a special edition Lamborghini Diablo SE30, designed to celebrate Lambo's 30th anniversary and a Ferrari 275 GTS - a stunning convertible grand tourer from Ferrari's golden era, celebrated for its timeless design and refined engineering.
Indeed, there was a notable presence of Ferraris at The Chedi Andermatt, with a Ferrari 275 GTB - a high-performance coupe that is widely regarded as one of Ferrari's most beautiful and technically advanced models from the 1960s - also in attendance.
The 275 GTB is perhaps best known for its value, with it priced between £1million to over £3.5million.
A Ferrari F40, often considered the ultimate Ferrari supercar - a turbocharged masterpiece that is a symbol of raw performance and motorsport heritage - was naturally sat alongside.
The Prancing Horse's long-time German rival, Porsche, was also richly represented, with a Carrera GT, a modern supercar legend, famous for its carbon-fibre construction and V10 engine, as well as a Porsche 993 GT2.
This track-focused, high-performance version of the Porsche 911 is revered for its rarity, although it's nothing compared to the 993 GT2 Le Mans winner that was perhaps the showpiece of the weekend.
A true motorsport icon, this Le Mans-winning motor was driven on public roads in the Swiss Alps for the very first time.
Arguably the standout classic was a Bavarian Blue Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Alloy,' hailed as one of the rarest cars in existence.
The figure for the collection of motors at the event was revealed to be CHF 80 million - roughly £75 million.
All the money… but still a kn--' Watch boy racer in £3M supercar get instant karma after loudly whizzing down quiet road
The event, held to celebrate automotive history, engineering, design and camaraderie, also maintained a commitment to sustainability.
The Chedi Andermatt, a five-star luxury hotel blending Swiss-Alpine and Asian design, consistently ranks among the best hotels worldwide and was awarded top placement by the Forbes Travel Guide in 2025.
A top spot for petrolheads, it's renowned for its easy access to iconic alpine passes such as the Furka and Oberalp Passes while offering year-round natural beauty.
It's also ideal for skiing, hiking and exploring the Swiss Alps.

2018 Ferrari 488 GTB For Sale With Just 10,000 Miles
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. One of the most prolific Mercedes-Benz engines, the 3.5-liter V6 is usually pretty solid, but not always. The Ferrari 488 is one of the brand's most well-known models The Ferrari 488 GTB came out in 2015 as the replacement for the similarly styled 458. It was the first Ferrari to use a mid-mounted turbocharged V8 since the F40, and spawned numerous variants and one-offs during its five-year production span. One such 488 is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here. The Ferrari 488 GTB used a twin-turbo 3.9L V8 with an all-aluminum dry sump. In the regular GTB and Spider variants, it made 661 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque through a Getrag 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ferrari claimed a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds flat, with a blazing top speed of 205 mph. Bringing all of those horses to a stop takes some effort, but it's a task that's handily taken care of by the carbon-ceramic brakes derived from technology used in the LaFerrari. With massive 398 mm discs up front and 360 mm discs at the back, Ferrari claimed that the 488 has up to 9% reduced braking distance compared to the previous 458. 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB — Source: Exotic Car Trader Visually, the 488 draws inspiration from the 458, with the same sleek lines, wide haunches, and elongated headlamps that find their way up the front fender. The rear fenders give way to two massive air ducts on each side, with a central piece that gives them a look similar to a flying buttress. The rear end is equally as curvy, with rounded taillights at either end that share a space with the exits of the fender air ducts. Thinking about selling your car?

A formula as classic as peanut butter and jelly This particular 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB boasts just over 10,000 miles on the odometer as well as the Carbon Fiber Racing Package, draping bits like the exterior air ducts, steering wheel, and parts of the dashboard in carbon fiber. That exterior is finished in the classic Ferrari shade of Rosso Corsa with 20″ forged dark painted wheels. The cabin is finished in a contrasting Nero leather interior, evoking the classic racing look of red over black, while incorporating some exterior details inside, including Cavallino-stitched Daytona racing seats, red stitching throughout, and Rosso-colored seatbelts. Any fears of damaging that exotic red paint will also be alleviated by the inclusion of paint protection film (PPF) over the entire body.

It is undeniably one of the most recognizable models in the Prancing Horse's stables, much like the 458 that preceded it. I'd say something like 'the $239,000 asking price isn't cheap,' but this is one of Ferrari's flagship models, so of course it won't be. Given that this particular example has some tasteful options that perfectly complement the car and shows such low miles on the odometer, it's one of the best ones available on the market right now. It's certainly not for everyone, but those fortunate enough to sit behind its wheel know that they're in the presence of Italian royalty. About the Author Gabriel Ionica View Profile
