We chose to call the 2026 edition *The Italian Job* for simplicity, but the meaning goes much deeper: to pay tribute to the many brands that, through their history and style, have built the legend of the Italian automobile.
The untouchables
Classics produced up to 1986
The challengers
Younger classics and “young timers” up to 2006
The lightning strike
Modern cars at the sole discretion of the organizer
Admitted Cars
Passione Engadina cares deeply about its participants and, as every year, strives to create a unique event, curated down to the smallest detail, selecting Italian cars of the highest quality and undeniable historical value.
Registrations for the 15th edition are open to 120 cars, divided into the following categories:
28–29 August
Julius Baer Challenge
In 2026, our regularity tour will return — a two-day event designed to combine the joy of driving with the pleasure of being together.
Not only will there be fascinating routes, but also stops planned to encourage connection and conviviality, in an atmosphere that truly reflects the spirit of Passione Engadina. The program is currently being finalized and will be shared soon: it will be an opportunity to embark on a new journey, with the same passion as always.
27 August
Ladies’ Cup
Ladies’ Cup a competition entirely for women, where teamwork is what matters most. The ladies compete in pairs, seeking the right harmony to tackle the regularity trials and win the coveted prizes. Precision, complicity, and a playful spirit make this challenge unique – always with the joy of having fun and sharing the experience together.
27 August
Next Gen Cup
The Next Gen Cup is dedicated to young drivers up to 25 years old and takes place on the first day of the event.
Participants compete against each other driving cars provided by the organization – in 2025, for example, the iconic Panda 4×4 – experiencing firsthand the passion for driving and the spirit of historic motoring.

The judges of Eleganza in Movimento will also be present to decide the winning cars in each category.
Passione Engadina goes Turbo
This is the name of Passione Engadina’s plan contemplating new points of improvement and innovation for the 2025 edition of the rally. Our style is never being satisfied with ourselves and always wanting to challenge ourselves for new contents that will surprise our guests.
