Maxilite AG will present its significantly expanded range of wheels for classic cars and young classics. With around 500 models for more than 60 automotive brands, the company covers vehicles from 1950 to 2010, underlining its market leadership in the field of classic wheel designs. Visitors can look forward to numerous new products, including various style wheels for brands such as Citroën, Lancia, Ferrari, Volvo, BMW and Škoda. A particular highlight is the new three-piece design series RC90, Super RS, AERO3 and Le Mans for modern classics.

A standout highlight is the special exhibition “100 Years of Bugatti Royale” by Eric van Lammeren in Hall 3. At its core are three extraordinary vehicles presented as spectacular reconstructions of the so-called “Missing Royales”: the Bugatti Royale Prototype Packard (1926), the Royale Prototype Weymann (1929) and the Royale Esders Roadster (1932).

Together, these three vehicles bring a nearly lost chapter of automotive history back to life as moving works of art, paying tribute to the visionary genius of the Bugatti brand—crowned by the iconic dancing elephant radiator mascot created by Rembrandt Bugatti.

On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the official opening press conference of the RETRO CLASSICS ESSEN 2026 will take place, to which all media representatives are cordially invited. The press conference will begin at 12:15 pm in Hall 8 (stage) at Messe Essen; admission is possible from 12:00 pm upon presentation of the AFAG press pass.
